Yes! Some great sheet music there! I like how the left isn't usually written out other than the chord name, so it really makes me have to figure out what I want to do (and where that chord button I'm feeling around for is!).
 
Thanks Jim, great site!

This is called lead sheet notation. It’s the kind of notation you’d find in fake books — a melody line in treble staff with chord symbols printed above or, rarely, below the staff. The chord symbols are normally not confined to major (M), minor (m), dominant seventh (7) and diminished (superscript o) or (dim) in fake books, as they would be for accordion music written for Stradella bass. In fake books you’ll see such chord symbols as Am7 or C13/G. Some of these can be played in the bass using bass-chord or chord-chord combinations (considered a technique for advanced players) but many accordionists simply find the triad on which the chord is based and play that with the left hand and play the entire chord, melody note on top, with the right hand.
