Topic: Bluegrass and country gospel chords

I've done a bit of Googling and have only come up with lyrics with no chords.  Of course, I think pretty much everything is in G or D.  Still, it would be nice not to have to muck around figuring it out. 

So, does anyone have a link or three to some sites that have bluegrass or country gospel chords?  I'm looking for songs like "They're Holding Up the Ladder" and "Oh, Death" and such like that.

Hey Zurf; you might try this sight, they have a tremendous amount of resources for all things with songs, chords and even studies about playing, singing etc.  I use it every now and then and have found it helpful!

Re: Bluegrass and country gospel chords

That is perfect.  Just exactly the sort of site I was looking for.  I still haven't found "They're Holding Up The Ladder That I'm Climbing On", but it's a bluegrass song so it's either in C or G and I guarantee there's no more than four chords so I'll be able to figure that one out with a little effort. 

I printed out three or four Jesus songs this morning for me to work on. 

Thanks Big Jim.

Re: Bluegrass and country gospel chords

Lotta bluegrass is in D as well, as that is how fiddles are tuned.  I was at a pub last night where there was a bluegrass jam circle going on.   Almost everything they played was in D.

Someday we'll win this thing...
