A living songbook for circles and ceremonies

What you'll find here

Every song on SongTree comes with carefully aligned lyrics and chord charts you can sing from directly. Chords can be transposed to any key in your browser. Where we know the story or origin of a song, we share it, so the tradition stays alive alongside the melody. You can also export songs as PDF for printing and sharing. If you see a song that could use an update, you can send corrections by email. If you have a song to share, you can submit it directly on the site.

• Mantras old and new
• Rainbow songs from around the world
• Sacred chants for prayer and worship
• Medicine songs for ceremony

Maintained by the community

SongTree is initiated by Derk de Geus and maintained by the SongTree community. The songs themselves belong to their creators and traditions. Many are passed down through oral tradition and have travelled the world unattributed. We take care to credit each song properly where possible, and to link to its original sources if known.

Each song's copyright is indicated on the song's page. If you have an update, a correction, or a missing credit to share, please drop us an email.

Some of these songs come from living traditions and Indigenous ceremony. We share them with respect and gratitude, and name their source where we can. If a song is shared here in a way that doesn't feel right to its keepers, please email us and we'll change or remove it.
