Wannadies - You and Me guitar chords and lyrics

One of the forgotten bands of the 90's, Sweden's The Wannadies' biggest hit "You and Me" is probably best remembered from the soundtrack of "Romeo and Juliet"

Still, it's one of those timeless rock/pop anthems, so having heard the song on radio recently, I thought it would be a good addition to the Rock song chords page on my Guitar Chords and Lyrics website.

New Songs - Pink & Jack Johnson

Two new songs added to the site today, "Who Knew" by Pink, and the excellent "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson.

Jack Johnson's songs were meant for guitar, but it's surprising how many of Pink's songs sound great with just acoustic guitar and vocals. You can find the new songs on these pages:

Mew - Symmetry guitar chords and lyrics

Denmark's finest, 'Mew' are what I suppose would be classified as an 'Indie Rock' band, making what one critic called 'dreamy thunderstorm pop'

As one of my daughter's favourite bands, I've been under a little pressure to try working out chord versions of some of their songs, which to be honest is not easy. I had previously worked out and posted 'Pop song chords - She came home for Christmas', which ( I have been reminded ) was in the charts for Christmas 2003. I have had "Symmetry", which also appeared on the 2003 album "Frengers", on my "to-do" list since then also, so decided to finally tackle it as part of my May selection of songs.

I had been previously put off by finding some fairly badly transcribed 'Tab' versions of the song, and trying to work out chord versions from these. This time I just listened to the song, figured that the first chord was B flat major 7th... stuck a capo on the 1st fret and ended up with a very nice, and quite playable chord sequence - a Gmaj7 Dmaj7 riff for the verses, with D, E, Bm, A and G thrown in for the Bridge and Chorus.

According to Wikipedia, "Symmetry" features vocals from 14 year old Becky Jarrett of Georgia, USA.

I've posted the chords and lyrics for "Symmetry" to my Pop Guitar Songs page at the link below:

You can buy Mew music at CDUniverse - "Mew" Music page

The official Mew website is at: http://www.mewsite.com/ or you can check out the Mew MySpace page here.

Brendan Benson - Metarie chords and lyrics

Another requested song - and it surprised me somewhat that this is only the second Brendan Benson song I've attempted to work out. Multi-instrumentalist and Raconteur Brendan has been around for about 10 years, and has released seven albums ( 5 solo, and two with the Raconteurs, a band formed with White Stripe's Jack White in 2006 ).

I've enjoyed pretty much everthing of his I've heard, 'tho not all of it would have lent itself to working out straightforward chords, particularly for early learning guitarists, or for acoustic guitar players.

"Rock guitar songs - Metarie", which was released as an EP in 2003 can be played with fairly straightforward chords - Bm7, D, A, E and F#. There is a little riff on the E chord in the chorus involving moving the 4th finger along the 2nd, 3rd and 4th frets ( I named these E1, E2, E3, E4 rather than dig out the technically correct chord titles, as it basically comes under the heading "E riff"! ). A bit of a stretch on the poor pinky, but it's good exercise for that under-used digit!!

The chords for "Metarie" are now on my Rock Guitar Chords page at the link below:

PJs Rock Guitar Chords and Lyrics page

Thanks to Jimmy in Sweden for the request - I think if you know the song, it will be a good one to add to your repertoire, it can sound really good once you've mastered the little chorus riff.

You can buy Brendan Benson music, and Raconteurs music, at CD Universe - Brendan Benson Music / Raconteurs Music page

Brendan's official site can be found at http://www.brendanbenson.com/ and his MySpace page, with some new songs from his up-and-coming album is at http://www.myspace.com/brendanbenson

Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet about Me chords and lyrics

At the tender age of 16, Austrialian singer-songwriter Gabriella Cilmi is something of a veteran, having signed her first US recording contract when she was just 13!

I first heard her last December, when she sang "Sweet About Me" on Later with Jools Holland.

The song has stuck in me head since, and I'm delighted to see that it is now a successful single. I think we'll be hearing much more from the talented Ms. Cilmi in the coming years.


I've worked out my version of the song chords, which you can check out at the link below:

The official Gabriella Cilmi website can be found at: http://www.gabriellacilmi.com/ , and her music can be browsed or bought online at the link below:

Whistle Down The Wind - Tom Waits

Just been saying that I need to get working on more of the songs from the fantastic Tom Waits 'Orphans' ( Bawlers, Brawlers and Bastards ) Triple-CD, but I received a request for "Whistle Down The Wind" from the earlier (1994) "Bone Machine". I'd forgotten how good this album was, so I've been catching up.

I've worked out my playable version of the chords and lyrics to "Whistle Down The Wind", and added them to my Tom Waits page. It's a typical Tom ballad, and with my basic guitar chords you can just get away with it, though it's pretty much a piano song. I hope you'll give it a go, see how you like it.

If you are a new visitor, or haven't visited in a while, check out the more than 1,600 songs on my song chords and lyrics site



You can check out Tom's official website at : http://www.tomwaits.com/ or check out his albums online at CD Universe
