Where can I find music for drunken sailor?

acoustic guitar beginner songs how to play image

Q. Where can I find sheet music that I can print online for the song "What shall we do with a drunken sailor" for acoustic guitar? I'm trying to teach myself how to play, and I can do chords and everything, but I need a song to play and I wanted to try it out. Also, any other reccomendations for beginner songs to play? I need something simple, like only three different chords or so in the whole thing and a simple strumming pattern, I'm still starting out. Thanks!

Answer
I don't know where you can find the sheet music, but I'm a renaissance (pirate) performer and we do that song, so I can tell you the chords. It's a 2 chord song, E minor and D.

(Em) what shall we do with a drunken sailor
(D) what shall we do with a drunken sailor
(Em) what shall we do with a drunken sailor
(D) early in the (Em) morning.

This chord progression repeats through the song.

Q. I just started playing the acoustic guitar. I'm practicing "Barriers" by David Archuleta. What are some other good beginner songs that I could try that are similar to that?

Thanks.

Time of your life by green day (sounds harder than it is)
Anything by the beatles will give you a good grip on chord progression
House of the rising sun by the animals is a starter song (Intro is awesome)
Broken by seether
Hey there delilah is quite simple once you understand the chords.

Good luck with trying out all of them

What are some distinct songs to play on acoustic guitar?

What are some beginner-intermediate songs that I can play on the acoustic guitar when people ask me to play a song. I need popular songs that you can tell what the song is when you play it. I have a few I play but other than my originals (that of course noone knows), I'm just looking to expand my library and would like to hear what people have to say.

Answer
many of john mayer's songs
some jason mraz
van morrison
you could even find some steve miller band for acoustic- that'd be fun!

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton, needs finger picking, but fairly easy if you can.

I want to play the acoustic guitar, where do I start?

Devon

I have always wanted to play acoustic guitar,but I have no idea where to begin. I am 12 in 7th grade if that help. I need advice on what guitar to get, what websites to go to so I can teach myself to play (I can't afford to take lessons). Also, some easy beginner country songs to play when I start out. Thanks in advanced :)

Answer
I, myself has been playing for almost a year, and I've learned allot. You should start with strumming, then broken chords, then power chords, then learn how to read tabs.

ADVICE: If you wanna become good in the guitar, you should practice, EVERYDAY. That's what I did. And I learned how to play in 2 months and a half! :)

For guitar lessons, try searching on YouTube on the things I said. Or better, hire a tutor.
Suggestion for the guitar: ANY acoustic might work. Try Seagull S6. This is really for beginners. Or a Yamaha.

Well I don't know any country songs, just search YouTube! :)

Answer
It may not be the answer you want, but you may be best off getting a First Act acoustic from Toys R Us. They are smaller (for smaller hands) and cheaper than name brand guitars. Once you learn a bit and become more familiar, you can decide if you want to upgrade to a better sounding guitar.

As for a good website, I recommend ultimate-guitar.com, they have an entire section that is all lessons written by users for new and experienced players alike. You should also search youtube for different tutorial videos.
