Patti Page

I recently had the distinct honor of playing in the “Patti Page 5” during her New Hampshire tour. If you haven’t heard Patti during the past decade, you owe it to yourself to check out her recent work: Miss Patti Page, “The Singing Rage”

ABC tablature:

For those of you that don't know about abc notation, it is a simple method of writing out music with letters rather than staves and notes. There are thousands of arrangements in this format on the Web. There is also software to translate ABC notation to PostScript, MIDI, Windows metafile, and other formats.
