Jason Mraz - "I'm yours" chords and lyrics

I must have been on another planet for the past few years - I only became aware of Jason Mraz when I installed a new search option on my blog, and checking the stats found that this song is the most searched for by a mile, ahead of even the Kings of Leon "Use Somebody" and Greenday "21 Guns" (both of which I have already posted on my site).

Jason Mraz has been around for several years, so I have a lot of catching up to do, but I figured I'd better have a listen to "I'm Yours", when so many guitarists obviously want to play the song.

It's a great little song, with a reggae/calypso beat, reminded me a lot of some of Jack Johnson's songs. It's fun and easy to play too - it's actually in the key of B major, with chords B, F#, G#m, and E, with a C#7 thrown in once or twice, but putting the capo on the 2nd fret, I was able to transpose it to A, so the chords are a much easier set - A, E, F#m, D, with the occasional B7.

I've posted my version of the chords and lyrics to "Jason Mraz - I'm Yours" to my Pop Guitar Songs page, at the link below:

Five for Fighting - Easy Tonight chords and lyrics

I have to admit that Five for Fighting ( stage name of US singer-songwriter John Ondrasik ) largely passed me by. I know that Superman (It's not easy) was a hit from the 2000 album "America Town" ( mental note to add this one to my 'to do' list )

But I heard "Easy Tonight" while watching an episode of the TV show Scrubs, and remembered it as one of the 'ones that got away' - I know I had it on my list at the time, but it somehow slipped through the net.

So, somewhat belatedly, I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics, and added them to my website at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics to "Easy Tonight" by Five for Fighting.

You can listen/watch and play along to the song at This YouTube link

Colbie Caillat - Fallin' For You chords and lyrics

I accepted a MySpace friend request from Colbie Caillat about three & a half years ago. I promote my chords and lyrics website on my MySpace account, so I get a lot of friend requests from bands and artists.

She was an unsigned artist then, but had already had a huge number of listeners to the songs featured on her MySpace page. She has a great voice, and the songs even back then were polished and professional, so I was telling anyone who would listen that she was going to be 'BIG!'.

I've posted chords and lyrics for the brilliant "Bubbly", which had over 22 million plays on her MySpace page before taking the US charts by storm and hitting the #1 single spot in May 2007, and also chords and lyrics for "Realize", which was also a top 20 hit from the debut album "Coco".


I have now worked out my interpretation of her latest single "Fallin' for You", released in June 2009, and which went straight into the US charts at #12. Still puzzling as to why this success isn't mirrored in the UK and Europe, maybe it's just a matter of time.

For those who are familiar with these songs, and would like to attempt playing them, I have worked out fairly easy to play versions which you can reach at the links below:

Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly" chords and lyrics.

Colbie Caillat - "Realize" chords and lyrics.

Colbie Caillat - "Fallin' For You" chords and lyrics.


If you're not familiar with the songs, you can check them out at these links:

Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly" on YouTube.

Colbie Caillat - "Realize" on YouTube.

Colbie Caillat - "Fallin For You" on YouTube.

You can buy her great new album "Breakthrough", or her brilliant first album "Coco", featuring "Bubbly" and her other singles at CD Universe - Colbie Caillat music page

Colbie's official website is at http://www.colbiecaillatmusic.com/ Her world renowned MySpace page is at http://www.myspace.com/colbiecaillat - this is a 'must visit' page!!!

P.S. - In case you're wondering, my latest tip for the next band to make it big via MySpace is a Canadian rock band recently re-invented as "Moeraes Fate" and previously known as "Dame", now gigging and recording as "Moeraes Fate" - check out their new & old MySpace pages at http://www.myspace.com/moeraesfateband and http://www.myspace.com/dameband Moeraes Fate are a fantastic 3 piece all-girl rock band who are destined for greatness. You heard it here first!



Enjoy your music!

Pearl Jam - The Fixer chords and lyrics

I guess some bands just pass ya by! Unbelievably "The Fixer", from the new "Backspacer" album is the first Pearl Jam song I've worked out and posted to my chords and lyrics site.

It wasn't that I didn't like the band - I particularly liked "Jeremy", "Black", "Daughter" and "Animal" from the early albums - I think I just didn't see them as songs for acoustic guitarists or for early learners.

But "The Fixer" is a good rock song, and very playable even if you're a begginner to intermediate player. The intro and riff are just major chords - B, D, G, and E; the rest of the song, verse and chorus, consists of G, Em, D, Bm. There is a bridge with chords: C Eb Bm A, but that's pretty much it!


I've added my chords and lyrics version of "The Fixer" to my Rock guitar songs page at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "The Fixer" by Pearl Jam.

The Eels 'That Look You Give That Guy' chords & lyrics

I'd almost forgotten about The Eels - the last song of theirs I worked out and added to the site was "Last Stop This Town" from their 1998 album "Electro-Shock Blues".

Recently heard the single "That Look you give that guy" from their new album "Hombre Lobo" and have just worked out a chords & lyrics version of this, and added it to my Rock guitar songs page at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "That Look You Give That Guy" by The Eels.

The chords might look tricky for beginners, but are straightforward enough - C, C/B, Bb, A, Dm, Dm/C and G, repeated thru all verses and chorus. The C/B is just x2x010, and Dm/C is xx3x21.
