Words of Songs

We have provided several different ways to download the words to suit different connection speeds and the requirements of newcomers and old hands alike. All are in PDF format which you can download to your hardrive, either by right-clicking and selecting Save As or by clicking and then saving the PDF when it opens in a new page. You will need Adobe Reader(20MB) or another free PDF reader like Foxit(2MB) to open these files. If you don't have such a thing, download and install first from here:

Download just this session's songs(updated 20/03) Download the concert list

At the moment these are only available from the link above although one or two do exist in the song book in different formats. They will be merged later with the main song book. The latest song added is My Favourite Things on page 14. Once you have opened the pdf use File/Print to print just the pages you want including the index. Make sure you have all the previous ones and beware: I may have tacked one on to the end of the last page you printed. The title has been changed to reflect the fact that we will be working on these up until the December concert and an index has been added.

In addition to these we will also be singing the following from the main song book during the summer term (Amazing Grace added 15/05/08)

Bantry Girls Lament	Lonesome Valley	Reconciliation
Lean on me	Rolling Home	Windgate
Amazing Grace

Download the complete song book with index/just the index

This contains the words of all the songs sung by Voicehouse from January 2003 to September 2007. It's currently about 2MB in size which will take you under a minute to download if you have a broadband connection. It will probably take at least 10 minutes on dialup. Once you have it on your hard disk and open it you can print the whole book or just individual pages using the printer dialogue within File/Print. You can find individual songs by clicking on a Bookmark in the left hand panel or by referring to the Index at the end.

Download by page number

If you just want to download a single page and know the number then click the arrow beside the box below to display the list and then click on the page you want.

Download by song title/first line

Songs are arranged several per page and some have more than one title so be careful if you don't want to download the same page several times over.
