Songs

Kris Drever is an award-winning songwriter and self taught master guitarist.

The folk tradition is built upon the sharing of music, songs and stories.

It is important to Kris that this is continued, and so here you’ll find the lyrics (and in some cases a “How To Play” video) for Kris’s songs.

In the dropdown menu, you can filter songs by album and/or band (e.g. Kris Drever/Lau).

Those with an asterisk * include a “How To Play” video.
