Rise Up Singing is a popular folk music fake book containing chords, lyrics, and sources.

The book does not include notation of the songs' melodies (with the exception of the two sections on rounds), meaning that users must either know the tune or find a recording, to be able to learn many of the songs.

Since the book includes only lyrics and chords without notation, it is relatively compact in size and also relatively inexpensive.

Only enough of each song is included to learn the tune; not all verses are sung.

The book grew out of the 1973 homemade songbook by Peter Blood, Winds of the People.
