I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. My dd13 is looking for music sheet (is that correct word - or is it music notes/chords??) for some of her favorite bluegrass songs.

I've tired searching, but can't seem to find music for mandolins. :-( Free would be nice.... But I'm also willing to buy a few songs sheets. :-)

She's asked me to look for:

Uncle Pen
How Mountain Girls Can Love
Howdy Neighbor Howdy
Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Rocky Top
Roll Muddy River
Cabin on the Hill
I am a Pilgrim
It's Mighty Dark to Travel

Any information on how to search for these songs is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!

You can find some tabs here (http://www.mandolincafe.com/tabarc.html) on the Cafe.

Otherwise, if you want chord sheets with lyrics, try googling "[song title] chords" and / or "[song title] lyrics". Just remember, using this type of search, you have to be aware of many mistakes that are very common in these.

You might be better served to buy a book like this (http://www.amazon.com/Parking-Lot-Pickers-Songbook-Mandolin/dp/078667492X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341325337&sr=1-1&keywords=parking+lot+pickers+songbook), which has many common bluegrass & traditional songs with tab, chords, standard notation, and lyrics, as well as a CD that goes through a single verse of each song.

PS - What is a "dd13"?
