Ben Harper - "Faithfully Remain" chords & lyrics

Another 'debut' artist on my website, and yet another song that I first heard in an episode of "House MD".

"Faithfully Remain", by Ben Harper and Relentless Seven, is a great song on the 2009 album "White Lies for Dark Times", and showcases Harper's anguished vocals, superb guitar playing and songwriting skills.

Ben has been around for quite a while ( first album "Pleasure and Pain" released in 1992 ), so apologies to fans for not including any of his previous stuff, I'll certainly try to catch up on his work and work out some more of his songs for this Blog.

I've worked out chords for "Faithfully Remain" and posted them to my Pop songs guitar chords page at the link below:

Try playing along with the video above or at this Youtube link for Faithfully Remain

Chords are pretty easy to play, even for relative beginners, consisting of E, A, B and C#m. If you find these chords tricky, put a capo on the 2nd fret, and transpose down a full tone, so the chords will change as follows:

E -> D
A -> G
B -> A
C#m -> Bm

That should do it!

Ben (and Relentless 7) have a really feature-rich website at http://www.benharper.com/

Rory Gallagher "If the day was any longer" chords

I received a request for a Rory Gallagher song, from his days with Taste, the song being "If the day was any longer" from the 1970 "On the Boards" album.

While I do have a Rory Gallagher song chords page on my guitar chords and lyrics website, I don't have a great many Rory songs, as my site is primarily aimed at learning guitarists, and the songs are in simple chords and lyrics format, not usually suited to Rory's unique and complex sound.

When I played the song on YouTube however, I actually remembered it, and it's one of those gorgeous mellow bluesy ballads Rory used to play as part of the acoustic section of his gigs.

So I was able to work out a version just using chords E, E7, A, G and B7, which should make it playable for most learning guitarists.

I have posted the song to www.guitarsongs.info at the link below:

Marcy Playground "Sex and Candy" chords and lyrics

This is another song which I had worked out some years ago, but somehow forgot to add to my site - I only discovered this when moving my site to it's new location at www.guitarsongs.info a short while ago.

The song was actually a hit ( pretty much their only big hit ) back in 1997, but still stands the test of time as a great rock song. Although the band have been pretty quiet since then, they toured the US and Canada in 2009, promoting the upcoming release of 2 new albums, so... watch this space!

"Sex and Candy" is quite an easy song to play, with just A, F and E in the verse, and Am, F and G in the chorus.

I've added the song to my 'Rock Song Chords' page, at the link below:
