What's in the database is what people have sent in. Some send chords, or tunes or a few notes about the history of the song or performer. But most entries are just the words. The folks who run Mudcat are far too overworked already to have any time to look for chords for songs submitted without them.

This is basically a lyrics site, with tunes and chords as optional extras. I suppose there must be other sites devoted to the various folk instruments out there in cyberspace. As I can only sing one note at a time, I've never gone looking for them, and find it a bit of a nuisance having to edit chords out of the few songs here that have them. But I'm sure some of the great people here will be able to show you where to go. Good luck.
