Folk Songs Folks Sing, a 1920s song book with diagrams for Ukulele (part 1 of 3, pp 1-32)

 Because – even though I'm largely musically illiterate – I still can't resist a nice songbook when it falls in my lap, I ended up taking this one home from auction a few years back. It has quite a few familiar pieces, and a handful of useful gems, especially if you play the ukulele. 

Which I don't. But I know someone who does. So, this is for you.

You can find the second part of the song book here, and the concluding portion at this post.
