I've found that tablature (tabs) is the easiest way to
quickly learn chords and songs on the guitar. Although it has its
drawbacks (no timing info) it has the one huge advantage that simple text files
can be used.
Note that these files represent interpretations of these
songs by the transcriber. Though I've edited these files I've included
the name of the original transcribers if it was available. I was going to
delay posting these until I'd gotten a chance to clean up the notation to make
them more consistent. However, since these files are already hard to find
I figured I'd post them just to help anyone who's interested.
