shahondin1624 93f451eef9 Import 294 songs from Carmina Leonis PDF
Add import-songs.py script that extracts songs from the PDF text
and generates .tex files with leadsheets format. Adds song
properties for all reference books (BuLiBu, BuLiBuII, CL, SwA,
Barde, LiBock). Generates all-songs.tex with alphabetical inputs.

Note: Chord alignment is approximate from PDF extraction and
may need manual review for some songs.

N \chord{a}o you wont get me down underground in your \chord{G} mines, \\
Aw \chord{F}ay from the tr \chord{C}ees and the fl \chord{G}owers so fi \chord{C}ne. \\
D \chord{F}own in the d \chord{C}ark where the s \chord{G}un never sh \chord{E}in \chord{E7}es. \\
No you wo \chord{a}nt get me do \chord{G}wn in your mine \chord{a}s.

\begin{verse}
They work in the dark for the most of their lives, \\
Away from the children, away from their wives. \\
To make others rich, in the heat and the dark. \\
But whos going to care when youre too old to work?
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Theres many a miner has died underground. \\
Died all alone when the roof tumbled down. \\
Or choked out his life underneath the great beams. \\
Or buried and gassed in that lousy coal-seam.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Ive worked in your factories, Ive worked on your farms, \\
Until all the muscles stood out on my arms \\
Ive been in your armies and Ive been out to sea. \\
But by Christ you wont make a coal-miner of me.
\end{verse}
