This stuff is too big to distribute via e-mail so I’ve put it here for now. Right click on each link to download.
Words and (basic) sheet music – PDF
(these are the same as in previous years so if you still have them there is no need to print them out again – page numbers might be different, but the song numbers and the order is the same)
Special edition Words – Download and print a copy for each person to use. (Short version),
OR
Words – Download and print a copy for each person to use. (with all the songs)
OR
Words and Music – Download and print a copy for each person to use (this version is without the new songs – probably best not to use this version anymore).
In some cases the lyrics in the “Words only” and the “Words with music” versions are different (you have no idea how difficult it was to get the right music in the first place, let alone the right words on the same sheet). If there is a difference the “Words” only version will be the one sung.
Music – mp3
(ask your kids what to do with mp3’s)
Just in case some of the tunes are unfamiliar (what do they teach them in school these days)…
