I bought this book and a couple of others so that I could learn a few songs. When I played with the CD's the chords on some of the songs just didn't match. It is not that accurate and if you can the songs you want to learn elsewhere, I would suggest that over this book. Some of the songs are pretty accurate, that is why I gave it the three stars.

This book has a nice list of songs. However, the size of the book is so small (it's like 4-1/2" x 6"), it cannot stay open so you can read it while playing. Guitar song books should have a spiral binding so it can stay open flat to view while playing. If I realized the book was like this, I might have tried to find something else.

I didn't realize there were paperback songbooks, but NOW I know. I should have read the advertisement better I guess. It is too little and won't stay open enough to play the songs.

...I got this book 2 days ago and I was amazed. First off this book is small, average size of a mass market paperback. That someone would make it so small, without realizing it cannot be kept open while practicing keys/chords amazes me. Second, the book has the lyrics and the way it has them is confusing but, if you like these songs and who doesn't, you should have minimal trouble. The way the lyrics are is however, making it impossible for me to decipher the words to about 5 songs. Third, the way the songs are written, there is no distinction between keys and chords, and seeing as how there's a list of chords in the back of the book, I think it was really just intended for guitar, not keyboards.
