Bluegrass Chord Charts for Vocal Songs and Fiddle Tunes

This page is dedicated to bluegrass song chord charts and bluegrass fiddle tune sheet music, providing chords and lyrics for both well-known and not-so-well-known bluegrass songs and fiddle tunes. Some of these are jam favorites, some might challenge the circle, some of these are “bluegrass adjacent” songs that have been covered by bluegrass bands, and increasingly some are just songs that I like to play that are not really “bluegrass” at all. Use good judgment when calling a tune at your local jam!

For a deeper dive into specific songs, check out my Weekly Mandolin Sheet Music and Song Breakdown posts, where I analyze melodies, variations, and soloing approaches. Subscribe at the bottom of the page to get notified when new breakdowns are posted. If you’re new to bluegrass jams, be sure to visit the Jam Etiquette page for tips on how to navigate a jam successfully. Also, note that the fiddle tune sheet music includes both standard notation and mandolin tabs with chords.

If you find these bluegrass song chord charts helpful, leave a comment at the bottom of the page. Let me know your favorite tune, share a recording, or suggest a song I should add. Also, donations are really help!

Are you looking to create a setlist for an upcoming show? Click here to try out my set list generator!

Note, you can change the keys of songs as needed on the viewing page. You can search on any field field (song name, artist, tonality, type, or notes). Searches are exact, so “ain’t” and “aint” won’t pull the same information. Or you can use the drop downs to select specific songs/tunes. Enjoy!

Wow, great resource! All them Dead songs…beautiful. And so many others… 🙂
You might consider adding Little Sadie, that’s a nice minor key one. As a fiddle player I love minor chords. Several versions out there, I like the one the Dead do, where, in Dm, line 3 is all in Am, rather than in C, as Doc Watson does. The shift from C to A7 in line 4 isn’t totally rare, but from Am to A major (7) is even rarer. Another song I like is The Bluegrass Country, in the Del McCoury version. That’s a fairly straightforward jam song… Thanks for putting all this up!

  Glad you’re liking the charts! I’ll look at adding little Sadie too… I like that one a lot.
  
  I should have more dead stuff coming on soon too. Eventually I’ll have to change the name of this page – it’s not all bluegrass anymore haha.

Would you be able to add in Nashville numbers as a transpose option?

  Sure thing – I updated this so you can choose it on the particular song. When you select a song from the main table – you’ll need to choose a key. When the song is displayed, you can choose to display Chords or Nashville Numbers.
  
  There’s a bug that I don’t know how to fix right now though. In the event that a lyric starts with a capitalized A when you select the Nashville Number, it’ll change that to the relative number in the key (i.e. if you’re the key of A, it’ll change to “I” if you’re in D, it’ll change to “IV”).
  
  That said, you can also just transpose the charts on the fly on the site to whatever key you need. I like using this with a tablet as it displays a bit better.
