Nickelback "Gotta be Somebody" chords & lyrics

Nickelback released their first album in 3 years last week. Titled "Dark Horse", it continues the indie/grungy rock feel of 2005's multi-platinum "All the Right Reasons", and shows every sign of continuing the band's success story.

I don't actually have a Nickelback page on my guitar chords & lyrics site, but I had previously posted my interpretations of "You Remind Me" and "Rock Star" to my Rock song chords page, so I have now worked out an easy-to-play version of "Gotta Be Somebody", the first single from the new album - this is also posted to my Rock songs page at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "Gotta Be Somebody" by Nickelback

Christmas is just around the corner, but it's still not too late to try your hand at some of the many Christmas and holiday season songs on my "Christmas guitar songs" page. Every guitar player should have some Yuletide songs in their repertoire!


Nickelback's official website can be found here: http://www.nickelback.com/

If you are an early learner, or feel that you haven't yet reached your potential as a guitar player, I have put together a list of cool and useful guitarist resources on my Online Guitarist Resources page, you should really check these out!



Enjoy your music!

Leaving on a Jet Plane - Peter, Paul & Mary

I've had a VERY special request for this song. My daughter's boyfriend won a Darley scholarship ( readers with a horse racing background will know how prestigious this is ) in 2007, which has basically meant that for the past 18 months he has been jetting between the various centres of equine excellence, Newmarket, Curragh, Kentucky, Melbourne, Dubai.... ). Good news is that he will graduate in April, Yeay!!

Anywaze, although it's not of their generation, this song has a lot of meaning for them, so I've worked out an easy-to-play version of the song, and posted it to my folk guitar song chords page at the link below:

Here Comes the Night - Van Morrison/Them chords & lyrics

I had a request yesterday from Chris in Vancouver for the chord for chords and lyrics to "Here comes the Night", which was a great hit for Them ( featuring Van Morrison ) in the 60's ( before my time!! ).

I was about to point out that it was already on my Van Morrison song chords page, and had been for some years, when I checked - and it wasn't there! This was among the bunch of songs I'd had in tattered notebooks and with which I decided to launch my guitar chords and lyrics website almost 10 years ago. I guess in the initial stages of 'lumping up' a large number of songs, it must have 'slipped the net'.

I've made reperation, and (finally) posted my version of the chords and lyrics at the link below:

Leonard Cohen - A Singer Must Die

I'm conscious that I've been neglecting to include older songs of late, trying to keep up with the best in current rock and pop artists and songs.

The intention was always to try and create a balance, and add a good mix of songs each month, old, new, rock bands, singer-songwriters etc.

So I've delved into my CD archives and found a great Leonard Cohen song I had neglected to add - 'A Singer must die' from the 'New Skin for the Old Ceremony' album ( c. 1974 )

I've added it to my Leonard Cohen Song Chords page ( unsurprisingly! ). It's a great song to play, great lyrics and I've enjoyed rediscovering it immensely. I hope you will too! Check it out at the link below

Katy Perry - "Hot'n'Cold" guitar chords & lyrics

I mentioned when posting "I kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry back in August, that I felt this was an unusual selection for me to add to my song chords and lyrics site - it doesn't sound like a 'guitar song' at first listen. On the other hand, I've been having difficulty finding good new songs by female vocalists lately, and Katy Perry's songs are great, fun to listen to 'pop' songs, and I think many of my visitors would enjoy playing her stuff.

So, with that in mind, I have now added my interpretation of her single "Hot'n'Cold", which I've posted to my Pop Guitar Song Chords page at the link below:

Gomez "See the World" guitar chords and lyrics

One of the ones that nearly got away! Just caught this song on the radio recently and remembered intending to work it out back in 2006 when the single was released. I guess it just slipped the net.

Anywaze, I have worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics to "See the World" ( from the EP of the same name), you can check it out at the link below:

Young Folks - Peter,Bjorn&John

The power of advertising kicks in again! The song from the Budweiser ads, with the whistling intro which burns its way into your brain and won't go away, is 'Young Folks' by Sweden's Peter, Bjorn and John, from their 2006 album 'Writer's Block'. I've only heard a few songs from the album, but they sound pretty good, in the genre of Snow Patrol, The Zutons, Keane, The Shins et al. Anywaze, I've posted my interpretation of the chords and lyrics to 'Younk Folks' at:

Razorlight "Wire to Wire" guitar chords & lyrics

I still find it strange that Razorlight have yet to make it big outside of the UK, having had 3 top ten UK albums ( 2 platinum ), but only two minor successes in the US top 40 singles charts. I dunno, they just sound more mainstream USA rock than European Indie to me.

I had already previously worked out my interpretations of "America", "Before I fall to Pieces", and "In The Morning" ( all posted to my Razorlight Song Guitar Chords page ), and I've just now worked out and posted the chords and lyrics to "Wire to Wire" from their new "Slipway Fires" album. You can find the song a the link below:


Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "Wire to Wire" by Razorlight

I'd be delighted if you'd take a look at the other miscellaneous songs on my Rock guitar songs or Pop guitar songs pages or browse through the list of artists on the left of my Guitar Chords & Lyrics home page. Given the season that's approaching fast, you might also like to check out the many Christmas and holiday season songs on my "Christmas guitar songs" page. Whatever your preferred style of music, you can never go wrong playing seasonal songs at this time of year - have fun with them, rock 'em up a bit, but they will always go down well with a crowd.

Kings of Leon - 'Use Somebody' chords and lyrics

"Use Somebody", from the great new "Only the Night" album from Tennessee's finest, The Kings of Leon, wasn't quite the success in the singles charts as "Sex on Fire" ( which I previously worked out and posted on my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page ) , but it's a really good song, with very playable chord sequences, so I have now worked out my 'chords and lyrics' version of "Use Somebody", which you can check out at the link below:
