Kaiser Chiefs 'Never Miss a Beat' chords & lyrics

The Kaiser Chiefs are a great English indie band from Leeds who churn out some great anthems and sing-along songs, so I always enjoy working out any of their stuff.

They have released a new album 'Off with their Heads', and I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics to the first single 'Never Miss a Beat', which you can find at the link below:

James Morrison - You make it real for me chords & lyrics

I've had quite a number of requests for this song, the first single from James Morrison's 2008 album "Songs for You, Truths for me'. While I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan - this is the only song I've heard from the album thus far - JM does have a nice mellow style of playing, the songs are catchy and popular ( and written by him ), so I could visualize myself playing this song at a work/friends/family get-together, which is my usual criteria for whether to work out and post a song to my site.

In any case, I have previously worked out the chords to "You give me Something" from the debut "Undiscovered" album. So, having passed the acid test, I've worked out a very playable version of "You make it real", which I've posted to my "Miscellaneous Pop guitar chords" page at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics to James Morrison "You Make it Real for Me"

Paul Weller ( The Jam ) - Two Songs!

I had a request ( from a work colleague ), for the chords to Paul Weller's version of the Sister Sledge song 'Thinking of You', from his covers album, "Studio 150"

Having worked out the song and placed it in my Jam / Paul Weller song folder, I discovered that my favourite ( and most people's) Paul Weller song 'You do something to me' was sitting in the folder, but had never been posted to my website! At the time I originally worked out the chords for this, it was a NEW SONG! So, rather late in the day, I've made amends. Both songs are now available on my Jam and Paul Weller song chords page below:

Bob Dylan - 'Things have Changed' chords & lyrics

For someone who considers myself a big Dylan fan, I was surprised to discover that the most recent song of his that I'd worked out and posted was from the Travelling Wilbury's era.

It's not that I haven't liked the newer albums, just haven't listened enough to them for any of the songs to jump out at me and really make me wanna learn 'em. I'm going to have to do something about that, although my Dylan chords and lyrics page is certainly one of the most densely populated with 89 songs by the master featured.

One that sprung to mind straight away was the Academy Award winning "Things have Changed", from the 2000 movie "Wonder Boys", so I have worked out my version of the chords and lyrics to this great song, which you can find at the link below:

Oasis 'The Shock of the Lightning' chords & lyrics

Having started a mini-revival of mid-90s rock with recent posts from The Frames, Lemonheads etc., I've been aided and abetted firstly by The Verve bringing out a new album ( see my chords post for "Love is Noise" below ), and lo and behold Oasis have now joined in the fun by releasing their seventh album "Dig out your Soul" on 6th October.

I was a big fan of Oasis right from the start, and already had 26 of their songs on my Oasis song chords page.

I have now worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics for the first single from "Dig out your Soul" - "The Shock of the Lightning", and added them to my site at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics for Oasis "The Shock of the Lightning"

I hope you'll as much fun playing the song as I've had!

Pink - "So What" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I haven't posted a song from Alecia Beth Moore ( aka Pink ) in absolutely ages. I'm not a big fan of the pop/r&b/dance scene, but Pink's songs lean close enough to the Rock side of things that I like listening to her stuff, and some of her songs lend themselves pretty well to playing on even acoustic guitar.

The version of P!nk's "So What" I've worked out includes Power Chords (5ths) and a riff that runs through the intro ( which I've tabbed at the start of the song ), but you could busk it by just playing the Major chords ( E, B, G) if Power Chords are not your thing.

To check out my interpretation of the song, click on the link below:

Kings of Leon "Sex on Fire" chords & lyrics

My fourth attempt at creating a playable version of a Kings of Leon song - following on from "Bucket", "Fans" and "On Call", which I had previously posted to my Miscellaneous Rock Guitar Songs page - is the new single "Sex on Fire" from their brand new album "Only by the Night".

You can access my interpretation of "Sex on Fire" at the link below:

Duffy - "Stepping Stone" guitar chords & lyrics

Having originally confused Duffy with one of the many pop/rap throwaway artists who largely populate the charts these days, I was blown away when I heard "Warwick Avenue" on the radio, and discovered that this was far from the case - along with Amy Winehouse, Aimee Anne Duffy is one of the best female soul singers I've heard in decades.

I posted my version of "Warwick Avenue" a while back, and hope to post more of Duffy's songs. This time around I've worked out the chords and lyrics to her latest single "Stepping Stone", from her debut album "Rockferry", you can find it on my "Soul/R&B song chords page (link below:)

Duffy's official website is at http://www.iamduffy.com/ and next time you're on MySpace check out her page at http://www.myspace.com/duffymyspace

Amy Winehouse - Help Yourself chords & lyrics

"Help Yourself", the final single from Amy's "Frank" album makes up the round dozen of Amy Winehouse songs for which I've worked out chords and lyrics versions, and posted to my guitar chords site, having created an Amy Winehouse songs page some months ago. Once again, if you're an early learner, you may find the chord sequence difficult; I've included charts of the finger positions for the chords at the start of the song page.

You can find my interpretation of "Help Yourself" on my Amy Winehouse song chords and lyrics link below, along with the eleven others I've previously worked out:

The Coral "In the Morning" guitar chords & lyrics

The Coral have recently released "The Singles Collection", a double-CD featuring some of the best songs from their earlier albums, a few new songs, and some good live performances.

I mainly became aware of them from hearing some of their songs as background on TV shows like Scrubs ( which has been a great source for me of hearing bands for the first time ). I've only previously posted one of their songs "Dreaming of You", but I'll be listening to the new album to pick up some gems.

To get the ball rolling, I've worked out the chords and lyrics to "In the Morning", which originally featured on their 2005 "Invisible Invasion" album


I've worked out my 'chords and lyrics' version of the song, which is at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics to "In The Morning" by The Coral"

The 6ths - "You you you you you" chords & lyrics

The 6ths were one of those enigmatic 'bands/projects' from the 90's which I never really got a chance to listen to. In fairness, they did only release two albums ( 'Wasps Nests' and 'Hyacinths & Thistles' - the latter released in 1999 and featuring such musical luminaries as Neil Hannon, Claire Grogan, Melanie, and Marc Almond ) .

I've had several requests over the past few years for the chords and lyrics for "You you you you you" and, thanks to the ever-useful YouTube, I've had the chance to listen to the song and work out my 'easy-to-play' interpretation of the song, which is at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics to "You you you you you" by The 6ths"


I haven't been able to locate an official website for the band, but the 6ths Myspace page is at this link: MySpace page for "The 6ths"

Weezer - "Peace" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

As a very prolific band, who I only picked up on late in the day, I have quite a backlog of Weezer songs to work out, so while my last effort was to work out the chords and lyrics to "Pork and Beans" from the new album, this time round I'm going back in time to 2005, and concentrating on "Peace" from the "Make Believe" album.

The album itself received mixed reviews, with perhaps a 'pop-ier' sound on songs like 'Beveley Hills' and 'We are all on drugs' ( both of which are included on my Weezer chords & lyrics page ),
I've always thought if it as (another) transitional album for them, with classic songs like "This is Such a Pity", "The Damage in your Heart", "Freak Me Out", and of course, this song, one of my favourite of Weezer's.


I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics to "Peace" 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.


Weezer's official site is at : weezer.com and you can check out their album and singles list on their CDUniverse page

The Verve - Love is Noise, and Sonnet chords and lyrics

When I started my website ( about 1998 ), I fully expected that I would be featuring a bunch of Verve songs, so created a seperate 'Verve guitar chords and lyrics' page for them, rather than post their songs to my 'Miscellaneous Rock chords and lyrics' page, where songs I like from artists which aren't huge favourites usually end up.

As things turned out, the band split in April 1999, so the page has remained static since then.

But now - a reformed Verve ( with mostly the original line-up ), and a brand new album "Forth", of which I've just had a short preview. I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics to "Love is Noise" , the first single from the album. While going thru the process of uploading the song and adding it to the artist page, I made the shameful discovery that I had worked out chords and lyrics to "Sonnet" over 10 years ago.... and forgotten to add them to the page!

So ten years later, I have the pleasure of introducing two 'new' songs to my Verve page, the brand new "Love is Noise", and the somewhat less new 'Sonnet'. Hopefully new fans who enjoy the latest album will at least appreciate the opportunity to learn and play some of their older songs.


You can check these songs, and my other Verve song interpretations out at the link below:

The Lemonheads - Baby's Home chords & lyrics

I can't claim to have been a huge fan of The Lemonheads, who've been around for an unbelievable 20 years, but I always enjoy when one of their old songs is played on the radio these days.

A while ago I was reminded of their witty lyrical style on hearing "The Outdoor Type" again, and worked out my usual "chords and lyrics" version for inclusion on my Rock Song Chords page

More recently I heard their "Baby's Home", a lovely darkly funny song, and have now also posted this to my guitar chords website, again on the Rock Guitar Chords page. You can check it out at the link below:
