Your First Fake Book
Melody / Lyrics / Chord Symbols
$19.95

This book features larger notation than usual in fake books, and uses simplified harmonies and melodies. All songs are in the key of C, and there is an introduction with basic instructions in playing from a fake book. A very good choice for anyone familiar with basic chord structure, looking for a fake book that is easier to handle! Highly recommended, I always use this with my own students as an excellent means for learning improvization at the keyboard. - RV

he keeps me singing
he looked beyond my fault
he loved me with a cross
he touched me
heaven came down
he's still workin' on me
higher ground
his eye is on the sparrow
his name is wonderful
home where i belong
how great thou art
i bowed on my knees and cried holy
i feel like traveling on
i just came to praise the lord
i just feel like something good is about to happen
i love to tell the story
i saw the light
i stand amazed in the presence (my savior's love)
i'd rather have jesus
i'll fly away
in the garden
in times like these
it took a miracle
it's beginning to rain
jesus paid it all
just a closer walk with thee
just a little talk with jesus

sheltered in the arms of god
since jesus came into my heart
something beautiful
soon and very soon
stepping on the clouds
surely the presence of the lord is in this place
sweet by and by
there is power in the blood
there's something about that name
til the storm passes by
turn your radio on
unclouded day
upon this rock
victory in jesus
we shall behold him
we'll understand it better by and by
when i can read my title clear
when the roll is called up yonder
when we all get to heaven
whispering hope
why me? (why me, lord?)
will the circle be unbroken
wings of a dove
wonderful grace of jesus
written in red
