Band of Horses - No-one's Gonna Love you Chords

"No-one's Gonna love you" is the first song I've heard from Seattle band "Band of Horses" (previously "Horses"). I think it was Ben Bridwell's vocal, somewhat reminiscent of another Canadian favourite, Neil Young, which caught my attention.

I've worked out my version of the song chords, and posted them to my Pop guitar chords and lyrics page below:

Dave Fanning Show RTE 2FM Monday 24th

"No man is a prophet in his own land"

Despite the fact that my chords and lyrics website approaches its 7 millionth visitor, and in fact does receive many visitors from my native Ireland, ( tho' the vast majority are from the USA, UK, Australia and Canada), I was really chuffed to hear that a number of listeners had called the Dave Fanning show tonight to praise PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics . Unfortunately I was out and missed the programme, but I'll be listening to the webcast tomorrow at www.rte.ie/2fm/davefanning.html

2FM is the 'national' radio station, and Dave has been for many years the coolest DJ in the country. In the early 80's, when my work took me to 'Dooblin', away from my family for long periods of time, listening to Dave playing my kinda music late at night ( after the pubs! ) got me thru many a lonely night.

Dave's been Irelands 'ambassador of cool' ever since, and is respected in the music industry worldwide, interviewing and hob-nobbing with the greats, so it was an honour for me to get a mention on the show - cheers Dave!

If you like the music on my website, and if you're into listening to web radio while you work/play at your computer, the Dave Fanning webcasts are definitely for you ( www.rte.ie/2fm/davefanning.html ). I'm listening to Dave's interview with my favourite artist, the inimitable Tom Waits as I type this.

"I'm kinda livin' upside down these days, I guess".......

Guitar Chords and Lyrics - First Post

Been putting off my debut in the Blogosphere for long enough now, time to make a start!

The website: www.guitarsongs.info has been around for seven years now, the 7 million visitor mark should hit before the end of Jan, so I know there is no lack of interest in the subject! A Google search for 'song chords' shows the site at #1 of over 3.5 million - long may it last!

The site provides free guitar chords and lyrics ( does what it says on the tin! ) for over 1300 songs by popular artists, in an easy to play format suitable for the beginner as well as the virtuoso. I've stuck with the eclectic rather than the comprehensive approach - there are only artist pages for bands and singers I like, and the miscellaneous Rock songs, Pop Songs, Folk songs, Soul R&B songs and Oldies songs pages only feature songs I like - but with 437 songs in the 'misc' categories and 1,365 overall, you've probably guessed I've got pretty wide tastes!

I guess the main function of this Blog will be to keep the guitar community up to date with what's happening on the site, and to help locate songs elsewhere on the net that I'm not likely to feature myself. I'll also be checking out other online guitarist resources and giving my two cents worth - hopefully others will pitch in.

As I've said, I'm a newbie to the Blog community, so please be patient while I find my feet!


More soon

John Mayer - 'Somethings Different' chords

I had a request from Dave Scott for John Mayer's "Something's Different", from the 2003 "Heavier Things" album. To be honest, working out versions of John Mayer songs suitable for learning to intermediate guitar players is quite a challenge, but it's a gorgeous song, so I've done my best with it, I hope I've done it justice. You can find it on my John Mayer guitar chords and lyrics page below:

Chords and lyrics for John Mayer songs

I've been listening to John Mayer's third album "Continuum", so far only included "Waiting on the World to Change" from this one, but there are now 14 songs on the John Mayer page (above).


Find out more about John Mayer on his website: http://www.johnmayer.com/ and on Wikipedia's John Mayer page


Enjoy your music!

The Cake Sale - Some Surprise

I've just added chords and lyrics to "Some Surprise", as performed by Gary Lightbody ( from Snow Patrol ) and Lisa Hannigan, to the site, on my Snow Patrol page :

http://www.guitarsongs.info/snow-patrol.htm

The song is taken from the brilliant new 'Cake Sale' album, which is a fantastic collection of songs written and performed by some of Ireland's best known and most talented artists ( as well as others ), to raise money for Oxfam, the famine relief organization.


This is a great opportunity to help those less fortunate, while doing what we all love to do ... listen to great music.


Enjoy your music!

Tom Baxter - "Better" chords and lyrics

As I've found Tom Baxter's music gradually growing on me, I've created a Tom Baxter guitar songs page, which I will hopefully continue to update with my ( very basic ) versions of his songs.

I had already posted versions of "This Boy" and "Day in Verona", and have now added my interpretation of the chords and lyrics for the brilliant "Better", from his latest album "Skybound", which I understand is to be released this very day! Check out the link below if you would like to learn to play 'Better' or either of the earlier songs:

Someone Like You - Van Morrison

I have posted "Someone like You" to my Van Morrison page: http://www.guitarsongs.info/van.htm

Please note that all the songs on my site are my interpretation only, and are aimed at promoting the awareness of great artists and music among the guitar learning community.

Anyone wishing to play the songs exactly as they should be played should visit SheetMusicPlus and purchase the official sheet music for the songs.

But if you just like playing Van Morrison songs, there are a whole bunch on my site, in easy chords and lyrics format.

Enjoy your music,

The Shins - Phantom Limb Chords

The Shins ( hailing from Portland, Oregon )have been around for quite a long time, recording their first album in 1997 as "Flake Music" - my first post of one of their songs was "New Slang" from the 2001 album "Oh, Inverted World". I had also previously posted "This Celibate Life" ( ironically enough, on St. Valentine's Day... ), and "Kissing the Lipless".

I've only had a few listens to their 2007 album "Wincing the Night Away", but enough for me to know they will be a band I will follow, and hopefully continue to work out playable versions of their songs for learning guitarists.

So, as I've worked out the chords and lyrics to "Phantom Limb", I've also created a Shins guitar chords page, and moved the older songs from their previous location on my Rock Songs guitar chords page.


Enjoy your music!

Lifehouse - First Time chords and lyrics

This is my first time posting a Lifehouse song, though there may well be more to come...

Although their first album "No Name Face" ( featuring the single "Hanging by a Moment, a song I'm sure I worked out, but didn't get around to adding ) was released in 2000, I kinda lost track of them, and only recently picked up on their new album "Who We Are", from which the "First Time" song is taken.

My interpretation of the chords and lyrics for "First Time" is now included in my miscellaneous Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:

Find all the information you need about Lifehouse at their official Lifehouse website
