HUG Songbook

It has been a long haul, but we finally have the vast majority of the HUG songs available in a single document.

Click on the link to download The Official HUG Songbook Volume 1. This is a collection of 130 songs played at our monthly meetings since our humble beginnings in the spring of 2008.

Here is the MS Word version for those of you who wish to play with the formatting yourself (Please note that you will need the UKECHORD fonts to view the chord diagrams in this document format – I originally obtained these from http://www.ukefarm.com/chordette/ but they have removed the Windows version in the latest updates due to issues with the fonts in Windows. The Windows version is available in the Dropbox below.)

Update January 6, 2013 – I have added all of these files to a shared DROPBOX. You can access the songbooks, new songs, fonts and the Chordette program HERE.

Update as of January 7, 2013 – If you downloaded Songbook Volume 1 (PDF or Word) or the Songbook Essentials package prior to 11:00 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013, please note that the links have now been updated. It came to our attention that the previous version of Oh, Susanna we had included in the package had some inappropriate content. We ask that you please remove that copy from your songbook and replace it with the edited version. HUG apologizes for any offence this may have caused.

If you are looking for a few songs to get started with, you can download our HUG Songbook Essentials, a streamlined version of Volume 1 featuring our 35 most often played songs.

Please contact me if you notice any glaring errors or omissions.
