Welcome to the new look Irish song lyrics and guitar chords by Martin Dardis. The best site by far for all your favorite ballad songs by The Dubliners, The Wolfe Tones, The Pogues The Fureys, Mary Black, Christy Moore, Foster And Allen, The Barleycorn Johnny McEvoy and hundreds more folk traditional and rebel songs lyrics, plus sheet music and tin whistle notes and easy acoustic guitar music.
All the guitar chords here have been kept basic, mostly three easy chords in every song, this is because of the large number beginner guitarists who come here. There is a huge mixture of songs and tunes to please everyone, including lyrics from The Wolfe Tones to Foster And Allen, from The Dubliners to The Pogues, Charlie And The Bhoys To The Irish Brigade, with over 2000 titles and rising, you are sure to find what you want, be it rebel or folk, ballads or traditional. I have added separate categories for The Wolfe Tones, Johnny McEvoy, The Pogues, The Fureys, Foster And Allen and Christy Moore. If you have mandolin or banjo tabs for and song here please send it to me, lets keep or music alive for the next generation of ballad singers and musicians. In the whistle section there are some videos of myself playing the tunes along with the letter notes as some can't read the sheet music yet.
So what else is on the site ? well there's an extensive collective of traditional sheet music that's suitable for for most instruments. But I sort of specialize in tin whistle as I can knock out a tune or two which I then record in video format so you can see what notes I'm playing. I also write it out in an easy to read format. There are 3 separate sections to get you started. The first section I'd recommend is the children's songs, even if you don't like playing these kids songs it's a great way to start off getting the fingers used to knowing what holes to cover. After you have mastered these easy one's there's a sort of step up section where I again give the basic notes and where to place your fingers. In total there are over 40 handy songs to learn in the whistle sections.
I also sell my Tin Whistle Song Book which has over a 100 well known songs, all of which include the easy letter notes with tin whistle fingering sheet music.
