I had a very poignant request yesterday from Roscoe in Idaho, for this song. Roscoe has been fighting a long battle against cancer for some years, and takes great strength from listening to and playing music.
He particularly wanted to be able to play Van Morrison's "Streets of Arklow", from Van Morrison's 1974 "Veedon Fleece" album.
I did used to own the LP version of this great album, but it was one of many vinyl casualties of a house move some years ago.
I searched YouTube for an official version of the song with no luck, and my own recollection of the song was too vague to be sure of working out a reasonably accurate version.
So I owe a debt to 'Kefera' on YouTube, who had recorded a cover of the song, which on listening sounded true to the memory of the song I had in mind.
I worked out my chords & lyrics version based on this video, and have posted it to my Van Morrison guitar chords page, at the link below:
Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "Streets of Arklow" by Van Morrison"
Chords are as easy as you would wish - just C major and E minor, using hammer-on and -off on both chords for stronger effect. Play along with the great cover version of "Streets of Arklow" if you want to get the feel and rythm of the song just right.
I know you will join with me in wishing Roscoe success in his long-term battle against his illness, I hope there is truth in the power of combined prayer and well-wishing. I hope also that Roscoe doesn't mind that I have dedicated this post to him, and requested your combined wishes for his recovery. He is bearing his burden with strength and dignity, but I really hope that directing the positivity of the music community to his fight will be a force in aiding his recovery.
Enjoy your music, and let it be a source of strength to you, whatever your struggles may be.

The Smiths "Cemetry Gates" guitar chords & lyrics
"The Queen is Dead" is widely recognized as the finest Smiths album, it's certainly my favourite!
The Smiths were one of very few bands and artists - Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Madness, Nirvana - who sustained me through the 80's. Morrissey's quirky lyrics and compelling voice and Johnny Marr's acrobatic guitar playing were a real breath of fresh air.
I've already posted a few of the songs from the album to my Smiths guitar chords page, including "Frankly Mr. Shankly", "Bigmouth", "There is a light that never goes out" (great, great song!), I've now added "Cemetry Gates" (original spelling) to the list.
Quite easy chords (for The Smiths!) - just G, C, D, Em and Bm, with a Gmaj7 thrown in for the opening and closing riffs. Obviously you're not gonna recreate the Smiths sound just playing chords, but you can still have a lot of fun with this song. Check out the chords and lyrics at the link below:

Semisonic "(It's) Closing Time" guitar chords & lyrics
Heard this one on the radio recently - I remembered the song but couldn't be sure who was singing it.
So I searched around, and the first information I got was that it was Greenday. I searched YouTube, and sure enough it came up as a Greenday song. I worked out the chords and lyrics, and posted them to my Greenday guitar chords page.
But, I was pretty sure that it wasn't Billie Joe Armstrong singing the song, even tho' the overall song structure was very 'Greenday-like', rock ballad chords building up to crunchy power chords. Searched again and found an equal number of 'yes it is / no it isn't Greenday', or it's a Greenday cover of a Semisonic Song, or it's Dan Wilson doing guest vocals for Greenday.
I've always found Wikipedia to be pretty reliable in these matters: "'Closing Time' is a song by Semisonic from their album Feeling Strangely Fine. It is sometimes misattributed to Green Day".
From the guitarists point of view, it's just a great song to learn and play. For the non-believers, I've left on on my Greenday song chords page, but have now added it to my Rock songs guitar chords page, at the link below:
Guitar chords and lyrics for 'Closing Time' by Semisonic Chords are nice & simple, just G, D, Am, C throughout, with an A major and a Dsus2 ( x00230 ) as the bridge.
I always recommend that you play along with the song (above) or on the YouTube video
The official Semisonic website is at http://www.semisonic.com/
Go to CDUniverse to browse all of the Semisonic albums and singles: Semisonic music at CD Universe

Jack Johnson "Hope" guitar chords & lyrics
When I heard about the impending release of Jack Johnson's new album 'En Concert', it reminded me how great the 2008 'Sleep Through the Static" album was, and how few songs I'd worked out from it. The last Jack Johnson song chords I posted to the site were for "If I had eyes".
So I've had a listen through the album again, and picked "Hope" as a great song, both to listen to and to play, as my next song to work out playable chords and lyrics for. I've posted them to my Jack Johnson page, at the link below:
Jack Johnson guitar chords and lyrics I know you'll have fun playing this one! It has the typical Jack Johnson bubbly calypso sound, and very easy chords - G, Am, and C - pretty much the first three chords most learning guitarists get to grips with.
Play along with the video above or on YouTube.
My own guitar playing is still coming along in leaps and bounds using the brilliant lessons course at Amazing Guitar Secrets. Check it out at Amazing-Guitar-Secrets.Com

Stereophonics - "Innocent" guitar chords & lyrics
The Stereophonics are one of those bands who seem to have been around for ever! According to Wikipedia, they were formed in 1992, released their first album in 1997, since when they've released 6 albums, 5 of which have topped the UK albums chart. I've always been a fan, and have a bunch of their songs from thru the years on my Stereophonics guitar chords and lyrics page.
They are releasing a new album "Keep Calm and Carry On" next month. I've worked out the chord and lyrics to "Innocent", the first single from the album, and posted them to my Stereophonics song chords page at the link below:
Guitar Chords and Lyrics to Stereophonics "Innocent" from the new "Keep Calm and Carry On album.

Snow Patrol "Just say Yes" chords and lyrics
Snow Patrol are one of those bands who I really like, but maybe not in my 'Top 10', but I always enjoy playing Snow Patrol songs on my guitar, so I was thrilled to find out that they're releasing a new compilation album "Up To Now" this month, with studio tracks, B sides and three brand new songs, the first of which "Just Say Yes" will be their new single.
Never one to let the grass grow under my feet, I've got off the blocks quickly, and worked out my chords and lyrics version of "Just Say Yes" . Snow Patrol songs don't tend to be too difficult to play - this one is no exception, with just the chords A, D, F#m, D throughout the entire song ( or if you're an early learner and find the F#m a bit tricky, you can put your capo on the 2nd fret and play G, C, Em, C ).
I've posted my version of "Just Say Yes" to my Snow Patrol Song Chords page, please feel free to check it out.
Try playing along with the video above, or at YouTube - Snow Patrol "Just say Yes"

Rory Gallagher "I'm not awake yet" chords & lyrics
Once again, somewhat 'punching above my weight' with this, but it's a great song by one of my favourite all-time artists, and I am a huge Rory Gallagher fan, and I actually have a Rory Gallagher chords page on my website.
Ok, I know my version of the song is a bit light, with just chords and lyrics and the short solo, but if you can even aspire to playing the solo at the end of the song, well ... you probably shouldn't be reading this! I think the song can work well as an acoustic number, if you can figure any neat embellishments to add to the sound, so much the better.
But, I've worked out my usual "chords and lyrics" version of the song, if you want to try it out, click on the link below:
Rory Gallagher guitar chords - I'm Not Awake Yet
You should try playing along with the video above ( it's also on YouTube - I'm not awake yet )

Tom Waits "Alice" guitar chords & lyrics
This is another song which somehow 'slipped thru the cracks'. I discovered my transposition of 'Alice' while migrating my site to a new host recently. Another one I had worked out and forgotten to post to the site. Ah well, better late than never, I s'pose...
In fairness, Tom did release 'Alice' and 'Woyczec' - two albums with totally contrasting material, on the same date in 2002 - as a huge Tom Waits fan, I probably spent that whole month just listening to the great new songs.
But I have now posted the chords for "Alice to my Tom Waits songs page at the link below:
Guitar chords and Lyrics for Tom Waits songs - "Alice"
You should try playing along with the video (above), or on Alice on Youtube
The original is in the key of F#m, which throws out somee tricky enough chords, so I've transposed it down to Em ( Check out my guide to chord transposition, to see how this is done. ). Anywaze, this leads to a more manageable set of chords - Am7, B7, Em, and E7. It's one of Tom's softer songs ( "Bawlers..." ), so you don't have to drink a quart of bourbon and smoke 60 Lucky Strikes before attempting it...!
You can check out Tom's official website at : http://www.tomwaits.com/

The Frames "Seven Day Mile" chords & lyrics
I find myself more and more depending on hearing good songs on TV ads and programs, to get songs I'd like to work out and feature on the site. "House" has been a particulary good source recently, they've used some clips of great songs in the first 5 seasons.
While watching the second part of Season 6, Episode 1, at a critical point in the story ( don't worry, I won't ruin the plot! ), they played a great song I didn't recognize, so I searched for a "House Episode guide", and found that not only was it an Irish band, but one of my favourite - The Frames. The song was "Seven Day Mile", from their 1999 album "Dance The Devil", from which I had already posted chords and lyrics for "Plateau", "Star, Star", and "Neath the Beeches" I guess I'd forgotten just how good "Seven day Mile" really was.
I've now worked my chords and lyrics version of "Seven Day Mile" which you can find on my guitar chords website at the link below:
The Frames "Seven Day Mile" guitar chords and lyrics
Chords are a very easy set of G, A, Bm and D, so it's worth having a go, even if you aren't quite a virtuoso yet.
Play along with the video above, or if this doesn't play, with Seven Day Mile on YouTube
You can buy the Frames albums, including "Dance the Devil", at CD Universe - Frames music page

Iron and Wine - Love Vigilantes
I am only a recent convert to the silky voice and fantastic songwriting of Sam Beam, a.k.a. "Iron and Wine", but I had already worked out and posted four of his songs to my Rock Songs guitar chords page, and I've now worked out chords and lyrics for Love Vigilantes, from the new album "Around The Well", and posted them to the link below.
Guitar Chords and Lyrics to Iron and Wine "Love Vigilantes"
If this video doesn't play, you can play along with the song on Youtube - Iron & Wine "Love Vigilantes".
Chords are very simple: C, F6 and G throughout, where F6 is 13000x and G is 320033

Norah Jones "Chasing Pirates" chords & lyrics
Norah Jones has released a new album "The Fall", her first since 2007's "Not Too Late". The album marks something of a new direction musically, and the artist credits boast some top studio crew and musicians who have previously collaborated with the likes of Tom Waits, Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse, Beck, REM, Elvis Costello and Johnny Cash.
The chords and lyrics for Norah's "Thinking about You" was my last Norah Jones post, and I've only had a chance to have a quick listen to the new album, it sounds really smooth, with a 'fuller' sound than previous albums.
I have worked out and posted the chords and lyrics of "Chasing Pirates", the first single from the new album, to my Norah Jones song chords page, check out the link below.

The chords and lyrics for Norah's "Thinking about You" was my last Norah Jones post, and I've only had a chance to have a quick listen to the new album, it sounds really smooth, with a 'fuller' sound than previous albums.
I have worked out and posted the chords and lyrics of "Chasing Pirates", the first single from the new album, to my Norah Jones song chords page, check out the link below.

Jason Mraz "Make it Mine" chords and lyrics
Having been one of the last on the planet to 'discover' him, I posted my interpretation of the chords and lyrics for Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours" , the first single from his 2008 album "We sing, we dance, we steal things" about a month ago. As it's been the most visited page on my Blog since then, I've now also transcribed guitar chords and lyrics for "Make it Mine" , you can find it on my Pop songs guitar chords page at the link below:
Jason Mraz - guitar chords and lyrics to "Make it Mine"
If the video above doesn't load, click on this YouTube - Jason Mraz "Make it Mine" link.
The chords could be trick enough if you're an early learner. Verse chords are Cmaj7, Bm7 and Am7 ; Chorus is Am7, D, Bm7, Em7 and Cmaj7 at the end. Bridge chords are D#, A#, C and D.

Arctic Monkeys "Crying Lightning" chords and lyrics
"Crying Lightning" is the first single from the Arctic Monkeys 2009 album "Humbug".
The Arctic Monkeys are one of my favourite bands, and even though their quirky manic brand of rock doesn't lend itself terribly well to 'busking' on an acoustic, I've managed to work out pretty playable versions of 8 of their songs, which are on my Arctic Monkeys song chords page.
The most recent of these is "Crying Lightning", you can try out my simplified version of this one at the link below:
Guitar Chords and Lyrics for Arctic Monkeys "Crying Lightning" - new single from "Humbug"
If the video above fails to play, you can play along with the song on This Youtube Link
Though I've tried to present it as simply as possible, it might be a bit of a stretch if you're in the early learning stages. Chords are A, F, G, C, G#, E, Am, and Dm.

Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" chords and lyrics
This is another piece of buried treasure unearthed during my recent website move. I had worked out the song back when it was released, (in 1983!), used to play it regularly back then, but had never posted it to my chords site.
It's a really straightforward song to play, with verse and chorus being Am F E all the way through the song, with just a Dm thrown in during the bridge. Of course no-one will ever sing it like Annie Lennox, but it's a fun song to do, everyone always joins in on the chorus.
"Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" is now on the site, on the Rock Song chords page, at the link below:

Play along with "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" by playing this YouTube Video

Weezer - "I want you to" chords and lyrics
The full song title "If you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to" wouldn't fit in the title bar, for obvious reasons!
Just realised that the last time I posted Weezer song chords to the site ( "Peace" from the 2005 album "Make Believe" ) was over a year ago!
Bang up to date this time tho' - it's the new single (as above) from their brand new album "Raditude". It took a while for this one to grow on me, but it has, I'm really enjoying both listening to and playing the song. If the rest of the album is up to this standard, you can expect more Weezer songs from "Raditude" on my site very soon!
Anywaze, I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics to "... I want you to" and posted them to my Weezer guitar chords page. It's a really catchy song, I hope you like it, and will have fun playing and singing along.
If the video above doesn't play, you can find the song at this Youtube link
Learn more about Weezer at their official website : weezer.com and CDUniverse have a Weezer page where you can browse their collection of albums and singles, maybe treat yourself to an early Xmas present!

Paolo Nutini - "Last request" chords & lyrics
This is my 3rd Paolo Nutini song, having previously posted "New Shoes" and "Candy" to my Pop songs chords and lyrics page.
Another melodic ballad, with a big-hitting chorus, that's really fun to play and sing. If you find the chords difficult ( verse: F Am Cm Gm, bridge: Bb Dm Gm, chorus: F Am Dm Gm Bb C ), you can use my Guide to chord transposition to slide the chords to a key which suits your playing ability. Sliding down 3 semitones would give you verse: D F#m Am Em, bridge: G Bm Em, chorus: D F#m Bm Em G A. Just put a capo on 3rd fret to bring it up to the original key.
I have posted my version of the song chords and lyrics for "Last Request" to my Pop Songs chords and lyrics page at the link below:
PJ's Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Paolo Nutini "Last Request"

Grizzly Bear - Two weeks chords & lyrics
Another 'debut' band for my website, Grizzly Bear are a US Indie band from Brooklyn. I've only heard a few of their songs, hard to categorize their sound, but they've supported Radiohead ( who are apparently big fans ), and remind me somewhat of Belle & Sebastien, nice melodies, but with a kind of ominous undercurrent. But that's just me.
I've worked out chords for their single "Two Weeks", from the 2009 album Veckatimest for my Rock songs chords page, you can find it at the link below:
Rock Guitar chords and lyrics to "Two weeks" by Grizzly Bear
The video above should help if you want to play along with song. If it doesn't play for any reason, you can check it out at this Youtube link
Chords are straightforward enough: F, Am, C for the verses and Bb, F, C for the chorus. For easier chords you could transpose down to C, giving verse chords of C, Em, G, and chorus chords F, C, G ( put capo on 5th fret to bring the key back up to F ).
There's a whole bunch of information and good stuff on the official Grizzly Bear website at http://www.grizzly-bear.net/

QOTSA - Make it Wit Chu chords and lyrics
This is my first attempt at 'chording' a Queens of the Stone Age song. "Make it wit chu is the 3rd single from their most recent album Era Vulgaris.
It's quite playable on acoustic, and only features the chords C, A, A7 and E, so you should be able to pick it up quite quickly
I've transcribed my 'simplified' version of the song, and posted it to my Rock song chords page at the link below:
Guitar chords and lyrics to "Make it wit chu" by Queens of the Stone Age

White Lies "Death" guitar chords and lyrics
With a sound reminiscent of The Killers, Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire, 'White Lies' - a London band formed from the members of Fear of Flying released their first album "To Lose My Life" earlier this year.
I have worked out the chords and lyrics for the first single from the album "Death", and added them to my Rock guitar songs page. Definitely a band to watch out for, really like their sound.
The chords are not that tricky, with most of the first verse being G, C and D, and a Bm and A mixed in thru the pre-chorus and chorus. There is a nifty change in the chord pattern for verse 2, from G-D-C-D to G-Em-C, but that's about it! A fairly playable set of chords, even for early learners.
You can check out my interpretation of the song at the link below:
Guitar chords and lyrics to "Death" by White Lies
You can watch, listen, play along with the song at this Youtube link

Wilco - "Via Chicago" chords and lyrics
Recently posted chords and lyrics for Wilco "Summer teeth" , title track of the album from back in 1999.
As I was listening to the album, there were a few stand-out tracks, one of which, "Via Chicago" I decided would be good to work out and play.
There is a little Dmaj7-D 'thing' at the start of each line, but it basically just involves playing the Dmaj7 chord and a 'hammer-on' of the middle finger to make the D chord. Other than that the song is all D, A, G making it a nice but easy song for begginners to learn.
So, I've added it to my Wilco song chords page, at the link below:
Guitar chords and lyrics to Wilco "Via Chicago"
If the video above doesn't play correctly, you can find it HERE on YouTube

The Fray - Never Say Never chords and lyrics
"Never Say Never" is the 2nd single from The Fray's 2nd album, "The Fray", and although they are pretty much a 'piano-rock' band, it's another good song to play on guitar. I had already worked out and posted chords and lyrics to "You Found Me" , the anthemic first single from the album, and it has been one of the most downloaded of all song chords from my site.
It's a nifty little song for even the early learner to play. Six chords, but they are generally among the first chords every guitarist learns, G, C, D, Em, Am and Bm.
I've posted my interpretation of the song at the link below:

R.E.M. - Cuyahoga chords and lyrics
I have recently changed web host, which entails a whole lot of work - I won't bore you with the details.
One of the fringe benefits, however, was that in my artist folders I discovered a few songs which I had obviously worked out at some point in the past, but had forgotten to post on the site.
One of these is a brilliant old song from REM - "Cuyahoga" from their 1986 album "Life's Rich Pageant". I can remember working out REM's "Fall on me" chords shortly after creating my site, and I know that I would have worked out Cuyahoga at around the same time - I guess I was avoiding putting 2 songs by the same artist up at the same time.
Fall on Me was on the REM songs page, but, until now, Cuyahoga was conspicious by it's absence!
I've rectified the omission now, and you can find the song at the link below:
Guitar chords and lyrics - "Cuyahoga" by REM
It's always good when learning a song to play along with the original - if the video above doesn't play for any reason, you can find "Cuyahoga" on YouTube at the link below:
REM "Cuyahoga" on YouTube
If you're a fan of REM, and like to play their songs, I have over 60 easy to play versions of REM songs from the '80s up to their recent stuff on ( where else! ) my R.E.M. song chords page, I'd be delighted if you check it out and find some songs to add to your repertoire!

Beatles - All Together Now chords & lyrics
Yet another song brought to mind by a TV ad - this time it's the Budweiser ad, featuring a version of the Beatles "All Together Now", from the Yellow Submarine album. When looking for Beatles songs to play on guitar , Yellow Submarine is not the first album you reach for, so this song has pretty much passed me by over the years.
But hearing it again on the ad, it is a bouncy, fun song, and very easy to play - in fact it is one of the 'dream' songs for early learners, as it features just three chords - G, C and D, generally the first three chords guitar tutors will teach.
So as it's a fun song, and very suitable for early learners, I have worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics and posted them to my Beatles page ( link below )
http://www.guitarsongs.info/Beatles.htm
If the video above doesn't play, the YouTube version is HERE
I hope you'll have as much fun with it as I have!
