Yes. Usually lyrics, piano music, and guitar chords... Sometimes just lyrics and guitar chords.

You can find transcribed (sometimes referred to as "tabbed") lyrics-and-chords online pretty easily with a search engine.

The Swann cd--is that someone playing/singing the Tolkien songs?
Yes, Elizabethan Drawing Room style. TOlkien liked it. For the rest of us it takes a bit of getting used to! But now I like them. And you can use the unes and change the styles for most of the songs if you want to...

Movie songbooks: does it include all the music from the 3 films?
Unfortunately no. Only a subset of the songs. They list the songs when you look up the book. Each book as between five and eight songs (or something like that.) As I understand it they are arranged for voice, piano and (chords for) guitar.
