Another one of those bands I keep meaning to listen to more of! Having posted the title track from "How to Save a Life" shortly after the album's release in 2005, I never quite got around to picking another track to listen to and work out chords for.
And so to their 2nd album "The Fray", due for release early next month. I'm diving in early this time, in hope to make more time to listen and work out at least a few of the songs.
I've made a start with the first single from the album "You Found Me". It was actually tricky enough, as the guitar is very low in the mix. Also the song has some tricky chords if you're a beginner, so I've transposed it down to C major - it should sound right if you play it with capo on 4th fret.
You can check out my interpretation of the song at the link below:
Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "You Found Me" by The Fray
Please take a few minutes to browse 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 and pick some artists who's songs you'd like to play.
The official Fray website is at: http://www.thefray.net/
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!

Snow Patrol - "Crack the Shutters" chords & lyrics
Following on from the huge success of "Take Back The City" ( see my previous post for chords & lyrics ), you can expect them to hit the heights again with their second single from "A Hundred Million Suns" - "Crack The Shutters".
Ashamed to say I still haven't made time to have a really good listen to the album, but I've been listening to "Shutters" on YouTube and have worked out my version of the chords and lyrics. If you're a beginner, some of the chords may sound and look tricky, but just follow the diagrams - the 'odd' chords are just variants of the C and FMaj7 which create little riffs, a little practice will see you right!
Anywaze, if you'd like to try your hand at playing this song on guitar, my interpretation is at the link below:

Guitar Giveaway - And the winner is...
Hi there!
Regular readers of my Blog and visitors to my chords and lyrics website will know that my friends at MusicPower.com kindly helped me celebrate my website hitting the 15 Million visitor mark with a very special Giveaway - a wonderful Joe Satriani ( Satch ) signed Ibanez electric guitar.
To put you out of your suspense, the winner has been drawn and is....
NICLAS from SWEDEN!!! Congratulations Niclas!!!!!!
Niclas ( 18 ) started playing drums at the age of 8, and moved on to playing guitar in his early teens. He is a fan of Joe Satriani and finds his music inspiring, but at heart is a throwback to 1970's Glam Rock, naming Alice Cooper, Kiss and Motley Crue among his major influences.
In improving himself as a guitarist, he listens to Steve Vai, Eric Johnson and Paul Gilber, as well as "Satch" of course, these players, he says "have inspired me in another way"
So there it is, congrats again to Niclas, and I hope he gets much joy from this unique prize. To everyone else, sorry - if I could have organized for each of you to have won a guitar I would have been thrilled, but alas, we live in the REAL world!
If you haven't already, you should check out the great range and value in guitars, gear and all manner of instruments at Music-Power.Com , I really believe that whatever guitar you have your mind set on, you won't find it at a better price in any other online or High Street Store.
More song chords and lyrics very soon!
Enjoy your music,
PJ

The Script "Breakeven" guitar chords & lyrics
The Script are a new 3-piece pop/rock band from Dublin, who seem set to light up the music world.
Their eponymous debut album ( "The Script" ...! ) reached No. 1 in the UK and Irish album charts on the week of it's release ( Nov. 2004 ).
I have to say this band largely passed me by unnoticed until I heard the 3rd single from the album, "Breakeven" ( You might know of it as "I'm falling to pieces", from the repeated chorus line - I certainly thought that was the song title ). I need to get a hold of the album to catch up on the previous singles "We Cry" and "The man who can't be moved".
Meanwhile, I've worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics for "Breakeven", you can catch them at the link below:

Duffy - "Rain on your Parade" chords and lyrics
I wasn't the only one to think Duffy's "Rockferry" was the best album of 2008 - witness the winning of the MOJO Awards "Album of the Year", and Q Awards "Breakthrough act of 2008", among the mountains of nominations, not to mention being the UK best-selling album of the year.
I had already worked out my interpreted versions of "Warwick Avenue", "Stepping Stone" and "Mercy", and originally added them to my Soul/R&B song chords page. Having now worked out the chords and lyrics to "Rain on your Parade", I've decided that Duffy merits a page of her own, and have created one at http://www.guitarsongs.info/duffy.htm. You can find "Rain on your Parade" at the link below:

Duffy's official website is at http://www.iamduffy.com/ and you can also hang out with her on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/duffymyspace

Nickelback 'If today was your last day' chords & lyrics
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", "Rock Star" and "Be Somebody" to my Rock song chords page, so I have now worked out an easy-to-play version of "If today was your last day", the second single from Nickelback's most recent album "Dark Horse - this is also posted to my Rock songs page at the link below:

Gabriella Cilmi - 'Warm this Winter' chords and lyrics
According to Wikipedia, Gabriella Lucia Cilmi "is a multi ARIA award-winning Australian singer and songwriter. She is best known for her debut single "Sweet About Me", released in March 2008."
My first time hearing this rising star was just over a year ago, when she sang "Sweet About Me" on Later with Jools Holland. I knew this was a young lady with a long and successful career ahead of her, and I worked out a playable version of "Sweet about me" which I posted at my Pop Songs guitar chords and lyrics page last June, when the song hit the top of UK, US and many other singles charts
Ms. Cilmi has a great new seasonal song in the charts called "Warm This Winter" - I have now worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics to the song, which I've posted 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:
