Sorry, you are right. Not wanting to actually move a song I did not try to complete the operation before my previous reply. There does appear to be a bug here so I have reported it to Per who will no doubt sort it as soon as he gets time.
Thank you for pointing this out.
Roger
You have to select the song/songs that you want to move first (tick box to left of song title).

I hope that helps.

Graham, I had never heard this song before and really enjoyed it. It was only when I was writing my comment that I noticed it is an original of yours so super well done to you and your band.
Roger
Good one Mojo, award yourself some extra pickles for that. 
Roger

Well done Julian and congratulations on your graduation.
I understand that your grandpa, who is obviously very proud of you, is teaching you guitar; a great hobby, which helps you get invites to all the best parties and something that impresses the ladies so keep it up.
Roger
Welcome to Chordie 832F,
I also did some checking and found some old Sampson guitars for sale but nothing about Samson guitars.

Open the song and click on the printer icon to the top right of the song - indicated below:

Has Mojo converted from pickles to English tea and cakes???
I saw this the other day and had a little chuckle to myself:
Roger
Hi Bill,
No need to worry about this. There have been many changes but they are behind the scenes and Chordie should look, and behave, pretty much as she always does. The biggest thing that we Moderators have noticed is that there is far less spam getting through.
The main reason for announcing a major change is so that Per can get 'bug' reports then, if anything is not working as it should, he can set to putting it right.
Roger
Hi Jim,
I may be a 'bug' so I have referred it to Per.
Roger
As I stated before, it's hard to come here and NOT learn something.
Roger, do you mean that if the guy says "Okay, Proud Mary in E", I should automatically know the chord progression?
Bill
Bill, no the chord progression you would not know, but the chords likely to be used you should know; and experience, along with your musical ear, would give you a good idea as to which to use.
In the key of E. the major chords are E, A and B (often a 7th); the relative minor chord is C#m and secondary minor chords are F#m and G#m (which are the relative minor chords for A and B respectively). OK, occasionally some songs will have other chords thrown in but these will be the exception.
Here is a chart I give all my students to guide them:
Roger
Russel Hitchcock from Air Supply does the same I was fascinated watching his playing when I was learning 'All Out Of Love'.
Getting back to Bill's point, I have jammed with lefties before and have had no problem watching and following them. When you know the key, you know the common chords used and watching a lefty is like looking in a mirror at yourself playing (the way I learnt to play chords without getting into weird positions to see where my fingers were ). However having the music does make things a whole lot easier.
Roger
Roger ... your 'Black is the Colour' cover was just lovely and almost haunting sound to it, really enjoyed it. 'Going Home' wow! that baritone ukulele was just great on it. I don`t own a baritone but I could never make it talk like you made it. Awesome instrumental by you. 'Blood Red River', I have never heard that before but what I heard from your cover was great and I liked the video you put together with it.
Thanks Jan,
Going Home, like anything transferred to a baritone uke, is easy as the tuning is the same as guitar so there is no transposition to think about. Blood Red River is a song I do with the new band and the other singer, a lady, does a great harmony so I am going to record her vocals to my original recording and update it.
Roger
Unfortunately the water noise is a little overpowering but by using headphones I was able to pick up the guitar work more clearly and you played that piece well. Good job.
Roger
Hi Donna, and welcome to the forum.
I believe that playing a song is better than just learning chord after chord so all my students go home after their first lesson with a song to learn. OK it might only be a two chord song but it is far more interesting than repetitively playing just chords with no structure. Then you can build on that, a three chord song next and so on. I have sent you a private e-mail with a couple of two chord songs that I hope will help. Practice a little and often, several short sessions a day are more productive than one long one but most important off all, have fun.
As an aside, I recently started teaching a retired rocket scientist, probably the most educated and intelligent person I know and, after his first hour's lesson, he turned to me, with sweat on his brow and said "That has been the hardest hour of my life. It has also been the most rewarding". That made my day. It is not always easy but with regular practice it gets easier.
Roger
I do not usually post multiple songs but this project has been on the back boiler for ages. I recorded the song 2 years ago and have been struggling with material for the video but a chance comment from a friend about a some video clips I posted on Facebook of the normally dried up river beside my home suddenly running with water gave me the idea to finish it. Only completed and uploaded this evening.
For the COLOURS category: Blood Red River.
Hi Bill, wishing you well, you do seem to have more than your fair share of hardships. Give Dondra a big hug from me.
In case you are interested I have recently posted a ukulele instrumental in the F.S.O.T.M. section.
Roger
Just to be clear I was talking about why they log in and do not post.
To maintain a Songbook you have to log in so many of those logged in are probably just here for that.
My pet hate are the ones who come and make a single post because they have a problem and I either ask them to give me more detailed info, to write to me personally, or I do make suggestions to answer their query then they completely ignore the offered assistance and give absolutely no response.
Roger
I feel better now I have that off my chest
Phill, after doing that I have now listened to both your recordings of the song (of which both are better than mine ) I do prefer the first one you posted.
Roger
OK Phill, you asked for it, so now you have it.
For everyone else. I made a recording of how I interpreted this song, however it was not until after I had recorded the backing and started the vocals that I realized that there was a chord error in the original so I sent it to Phill anyway. As he said he would like me to post it here I have re-recorded it, correcting the error, and it is now on Soundcloud:

One word: "Fantastic".
Roger
For Heaven's sake don't let anyone list to the recording that I sent you.
Ark, I like the transition in the middle of Greensleeves, it makes it far more interesting. I have never heard She Moves Through the Fair before but that is a seriously good piece of music. I am a little surprised that you have not submitted one of your original instrumentals.
Roger
I've never heard "Black is the colour" before, you did a great version of it!!!
"Going home" was pretty good too, but you've got a good voice and should do more vocal songs!!!!
Cheers
Richard
Thank you for your kind words. I do not normally do instrumentals, I am a rhythm guitarist not a lead but, as I teach, I do need to take my students down that path aways to see where their talents lie and then pass them on to a lead guitarist instructor if needs be. This is one of the pieces that I will teach them to determine which road they initially take.
I recorded the lead on my baritone ukulele with the baritone and a tenor uke doing rhythm. Drum and bass were courtesy of 'Band-in-a-Box'.
