Hello to all, I am trying to find the chords (or sheetmusic) fo a few old songs sung at Various renaissance festivals. Can anyone help?
Here are the ones I need...
Canaan's land
Health to the Company
Good luck to the Barleymow
The Chandler's wife
The gathering of the Clans
I am working with someone who is knoledgable enough on several instruments but I don't sing well enough for him to figure out the notes...Yikes.
Any help would be much apreciated!

Go to Google advanced search and enter the name of the song (or a distinctive phrase from it) along with the word "chords". This just worked for me with "to Canaan's land"

If the chords are not in the right key for you, get with a person trained in music and transpose them.

The Gathering of the Clans, if it is the one I remembber, is a simple three chord number -- say, G, C and D or D7.

If there is one thing I normally detest it is people replying to these threads saying "there are no chords to "XXXXXX" it is an unaccompanied song".

Regretfully I have to join their ranks and say that "Health to the Company" is one song that be sung unaccompanied. The melody is just too capricious for guitar accompaniment. IMHO ...

Hmmm,   I have heard "Health to the Company" sung acapella but after the first few bars some flutes and stuff joined in and it sounded quite nice. I just needed to find out where to start.
