Hi Alex; I usually learn a song from hearing it on the radio many times or at church... I usually learn to play a song after I have learned the songs. Take Silent Night; I think it is G C and D. I never thought of putting the words together. I think I would put the words separate from the chords, but in the same file. Terry Powers

That way I can follow the words and know exactly when to switch because the chord is right there before or even in the word. Speech is bad for this; if you have Braille, use it. Otherwise you will probably end up going word by word/character by character through the whole thing.
