Topic: traditional church choruses

I would like to see some traditional church choruses and full songs. I am just learning to play. Most of the hymns I see here I don't know.

Re: traditional church choruses

Hi Dianna and welcome to Chordie,


Unfortunately Chordie is a 'search engine' and none of the songs (apart from original song written by members in the Songwriting section) are actually housed here. Chordie searches the Internet for songs with chords and tabs that are already out there, sorts, organises and lists them for us to find and use easily.

So the long and the short of it is that the hymns you want are unlikely to be out there however all is not lost. If you make a request of a particular hymn that you wish to learn it is possible the another Member may know a location that houses it which Chordie has not picked up or they may have, or be able to work out, the chords out for you.

Hi Diannna and welcome to chordie! 

It would be nice to find a site that has lots of hymns in chordpro format (the file type that allows chordie to do it's magic) - but most of what is out there is in pdf or some other file type.

I just Googled 'hymns lyrics chords' and got lots of hits.  Here are some of the first that popped up:

http://www.greatchristianhymns.com/guitar-chords.html
http://www.guitarhymns.com/hymnsindex.html
http://www.igracemusic.com/hymnbook/hymns.html

There are many more similar sites out there.  There is also a very nifty site called the Cyber Hymnal.  They have very nice short biographies of the composers of the hymns plus some other very interesting background info.  Even though they don't have guitar chords, the site is well worth exploring.

Hope this helps,  James
