This booklet continues from the booklet "Learners Songs One". It contains a few new chords (mainly experimenting with F chords - which arenn't that hard if you really try!). This book should be attempted after you've had a look thorugh the first. Note: I am using these songs to TEACH MYSELF and I have only been playing for a month. You will need to look up the strumming elsewhere. Have fun and good luck :)

These songs all have a Major Chord Progression. If you learn that, songs of this type will be easy to learn. If I can try to explain a little of this, if you start with a "C" chord ... then drop the lower "C" note to a "B" ... then drop that note to an "A" ... you will begin to hear the Progression. You might be able to find how to learn this on YouTube.

MANS A MAN AND ALL THATA man's a man for a' that Is there for honest poverty That hings his head, an' a' that? The coward slave, we pass him by - We dare be poor for a' that! For a' that, an' a' that! Our toils obscure, an' a' that, The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that. What though on hamely fare we dine, Wear hoddin grey an' a' that?

A prince can mak a belted knight, A marquis, duke, an' a' that! But an honest man's aboon his might - Guid faith, he mauna fa' that! For a' that, an' a' that, Their dignities, an' a' that, The pith o' sense an' pride o' worth Are higher rank than a' that. Then let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that) That Sense and Worth o'er a' the earth, Shall bear the gree an' a' that, For a' that, an' a' that, It's comin yet for a' that, That man to man the world oe'r Shall brithers be for a' that.

The first 7 songs I learned, each song adds one new chord to your arsenal so you can learn a new chord and have a song to go with it. I worked on these it in this order: Leaving on a Jet Plane, Tom Dooley, Cats in the Cradle, You are my Sunshine, Amazing Grace, Blowin' in the wind, Our God (you could hold off on Blowin' in the wind till the end, it's tricky but a fun one to practice faster changes!) Don't stress about strumming patterns, just have fun!
