Try "English Folk Guitar" by Mike Raven--this features early material from the likes of Nic Jones and Martin Carthy along with chords, tunings and tablature.

All the best...

Harry.

I have just talked a friend into giving me the Rebel Ceilidh Songbook Reprint (1965). Unfortunately, he discovered what he was giving away before I could leave his house, so now I am looking for a copy shop ... It just contains lyrics, though, which I am going to put on the Mudcat when I get home, or check those that have already been put here.

the rise up singing song book has over 1200 tunes with chords-no music or tablature, though so you have to be familiar with the tune, but it is a great collection...published by the folks who put out sing out magazine--www.singout.org i also have a little booklet called the Shuttle and Cage subtitled Industrail Folk Ballads edited by Ewan MacColl. which has songs of miners, weavers, rail road workers, and sailors..30 pages-if you want anything transcribed, let me know..
