songsheets
Printed lyrics handouts
Songsheets are printed pages containing song lyrics, often with musical notation or chord symbols, distributed so a group can sing together.
They're common at campfires, religious services, and community gatherings: The counselor handed out songsheets for the closing ceremony.
The term also appears figuratively—people singing from the same songsheet are presenting a unified message.
