Chords are difficult and I'm not sure where to suggest.
I think Dick Greenhaus/ the Digital Tradition Databse (main copy of which is at Mudcat) is pretty much the same as we are in not waning to "impose" our own arrangement so most stuff is without suggested chords.
One can of course start a thread in somewhere like Mudcat and ask for chord suggestions. People will help.
I would definitely consider Mudcat and look for a copy of the "Digital Tradition". If (in the unlikely event) you can't find what you need, you may have some joy at

http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/ is not-terrible. They may not have chords, but most songs have an .mp3 with them.

Re: trad songs
That is something I never stop looking for. Best way has been to get xerox copies of every piece I music I come across that is a lead sheet.
I have a box full of paper dating back forever

Re: trad songs
These sites (mudcat, cantaria, saustin98/lark) are OK, but watch out for some other "song lyric" sites--spyware lurks!
