Looking For An App Or Computer Program To Help Me Organize My Guitar Music.....

Right now I have a binder full of song lyrics with the chord changes above the words. Not chord diagrams but just the letter of the chord. As you might realize - lugging a binder full of music around is a hassle and I recently bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 6.

I'm looking for either an app I can load on the computer or some program - where I can save all my song/chords in some organized fashion where maybe they can be alphabetized for easy access. A bonus would be if I could modify the font size - as my eyes are getting worse with my old age. Also it would be cool if the words would automatically scroll up the screen to prevent me from having to stop playing and manually scrolling to catch the lyrics of the whole song.

I have to believe that there is such an app or software out there to allow me to do this.

I would appreciate any suggestions and reviews and perhaps other features that I may be able to benefit with.

My music is just a pile of papers. I once played a gig where the openers were
young guys who each had a laptop with all of their stuff. I'm not quite smart
enough to do that. But being able to view chords and lyrics even in the dark is
a real bonus. If you figure it all out get back to me.
