Rumer is a British female pop/soul singer born in Pakistan. Her voice has been compared to many great female singers, including the late Karen Carpenter, but her vocals are a unique brand of sweet, bluesy and sultry, and I believe she will go on to be a huge star in her own right.
I had previously posted my chords and lyrics version of her first single "Slow", from her debut album "Seasons of the Soul". "Aretha" is the second single taken from the album, and is another gorgeous soulful ballad.
Rumer is already a hit with some top names in the business, having toured with Jools Holland and Joshua Radin among others, and has the distinction of having had a number of songs written especially for her by the great Burt Bacharach.
I have worked out my chords and lyrics version of "Aretha", and added it to my Soul Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below. The song is in the key of F major, which means there is a tricky enough selection of chords involved.
The chords are F, B flat, G minor, E flat, E flat minor, D minor and C minor. I would normally suggest transcription to a lower key, using a capo to bring the pitch up to the correct key, but in the final verse there is a key change from F to G, the chords here being G, C, A minor, F, F minor, D minor, and E7th.
Transcription would produce an easier set of chords for the main body of the song, but even more difficult chords for the last verse. In any case, the original chords just fit the bluesy feel of the song, so it is worth while putting in the extra effort to practice these chords.
You can try out my version of the song at the link below:

Tom Waits "Walk Away" Guitar Chords and Lyrics
It will be no surprise to my regular Blog readers that I'm one of Tom Waits' biggest fans. With the possible exception of Dylan and Cohen, no-one has transformed the musical landscape over the past 40 years more than Tom Waits.
Despite the fact that there are over 60 of my chords and lyrics transcriptions of his songs on my Tom Waits song chords page, it is really difficult to break most of his songs down to simple chords and lyrics versions, because of the diversity of instruments and strange and wonderful percussive devices he uses.
But, I've promised to continue to post songs from "Orphans" ( and his other albums ), so I've just finished working out my simplified version of "Walk Away", from the "Brawlers" set.
The chords themselves are a simple combination of Am, E7 and Dm, as you can see in the song transcription below:

Imelda May "Big Bad Handsome Man" Chords & Lyrics
This is my first attempt at interpreting one of the divine Imelda Mary Higham's great songs, but in response to a request on Facebook I decided to give it a go.
For those not familiar with the whole Imelda May phenomenon, Imelda and her band, from Dublin, have re-introduced Rockabilly to Irish music listeners who have become increasingly starved of any music with a whiff of rock'n'roll to it.
Her second album "Love Tattoo" and her subsequent tour of the album made Irish music fans really sit up and listen! Imelda won the award for Best Female at the 2009 Meteor Awards, and has also performed at the 2010 Grammy awards with Jeff Beck. Just a matter of time before the rest of Europe and the US catch up with her alternately smooth and raucous jazzy vocal style.
"Big Bad Handsome Man" was the second single released from "Love Tattoo" ( check out the brilliant first single - "Johnny got a Boom-Boom" ! )
Although my transcription is a basic chords and lyrics version, it is ( I hope! ) a very playable one. The song was in the key of B flat minor - not one to encourage the early learner - so I transcribed it down a semitone to A minor, which means the only chords you need are Am and E ( just put a capo on the 1st fret to bring it back to the original key ).
The trickiest part is getting the rhythm right. I'm afraid that I'm not an expert in formal rhythm structures, but it's a kind of "Cha-cha, cha" strum on each chord, as indicated in the transcription below. There is also a nice jazzy chord to end the song which I haven't quite figured out yet. I indicated it as Cmaj7, as there seems to be both a C and a B note, but I'm pretty sure that's not right - corrections welcome!
Ok, so I have added this to my Rock songs guitar chords page at the link below, I hope you'll have lots of fun with it. And do check out "Love Tattoo" if you already haven't, and if you get the chance to catch Imelda and the band live, don't miss it!!

Soft Cell/ Marilyn Manson "Tainted Love" chords & lyrics
I received a request from a Facebook friend for the guitar chords and lyrics of "Tainted Love" - the request didn't specify whether it was the Marc Almond and Soft Cell version or the later Marilyn Manson version which was required, but the basic chords and lyrics are pretty much the same in any case. Actually, checking on Wikipedia the original version of the song was recorded by Gloria Jones in 1965 - I'd always thought it was a Soft Cell original.
I was never a great fan of Soft Cell, or of any of the "New Romantics" back in that musical desert known as "The Eighties", but this is just one of those anthemic songs with catchy hooks which stands the test of time, so I was happy to oblige.
Even though it is largely a synthesised song, with no noticable guitar ( in the Soft Cell version in any case ), it does lend itself well to strumming along on acoustic, or rocking out on electric. The Soft Cell veresion is in G minor, I've transcribed it down to E minor, with a Capo on the third fret bringing it back to the original key.
The main verse chords ( relative to Capo ) are just: Em, G, C and G ( with a pronounced double-down-strum on the E minor to get the right effect ). The only variant in the Chorus is at the start, with Em, C, G, Am and A, before repeating the verse chords.
I've posted my interpretation of Tainted Love to my Pop Songs Guitar Chords , at the link below:

Foo Fighters "Wheels" Guitar Chords and Lyrics
The Foo Fighters seem to have been around forever! Actually, their first album "Foo Fighters" was released in 1995.
They recently released their "Greatest Hits" album, and as you listen to the songs again it's easy to see why they are one of the most respected and influential bands on the planet.
I already had ten chords & lyrics versions of their songs on my Foo Fighters guitar songs page, so I've now worked out my version of a previously unreleased track "Wheels" which was included on the new Greatest Hits album, you can check out the chords and lyrics at the link below. Only 4 chords repeated throughout - Dsus2, A, F#5 and E. If you're a learning guitarist and think these chords look too hard, well Dsus2 is just the D major chord with the first string open, and the F#5 can be played as just an F# major chord, with or without the barre.
Guitar chords and lyrics to "Wheels" by the Foo Fighters
Listen to the video (above) or on YouTube - Wheels
There is a whole bunch of great stuff for FF fans on the Foo Fighters official website
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:

Rod Stewart - In a Broken Dream ( Python Lee Jackson )
Every now and again I hear a song on the radio that I used to play years ago, but haven't played in a long time. So I get my guitar out, and, as I've usually forgotten some if not all of the lyrics ( chords too! ), I go to the artist page on my site, or use the search option at the top of each page, find the song - sorted! Sometimes I will add it to my current repertoire (abbatoir??!) of songs, sometimes it won't get played again for a while.
And sometimes I discover that I never actually got around to posting the song, even though when I first created my chords and lyrics site, I thought I had transcribed every song from every notebook, scrap of paper etc.
But... it's all good, as well as revisiting the song myself, I get a chance to feature it on my site, on the artist page and on the updates(new songs) page. For some it will be a treasure, as many of these songs can't be found elsewhere, for others a chance to listen to and learn a really good 'blast from the past'.
In this instance the song is "In a Broken Dream" by Python Lee Jackson. "Python who?" I hear you ask. Well, if you run a Wikipedia search for the band you'll find out that they were a 60's Australian band, and a whole lot more, but from my perspective, when I was a big Rod Stewart and the Faces fan, this song, on which he guested as singer, was re-released somewhere between The Faces "Stay with Me" and Rod's solo classic "Maggie May", and was probably the most played jukebox song of my youth.
It's a classic rock/blues song, and Rod's vocals fit like a glove.
I've made good my omission, and added the song to my Rod Stewart guitar chords and lyrics page, at the link below:
Guitar Chords and Lyrics to Python Lee Jackson ft. Rod Stewart "In a Broken Dream"
If the embedded video above doesn't play correctly, this is the YouTube link:
I hope you'll have as much fun playing the song as I've had! If you are an aspiring blues player, get on over to my Guitar Tips Blog, where I've just posted three blues video lessons from Dan Denley's Blues great Guitar Secrets course.

Bob Dylan - I feel a change comin' on chords & lyrics
Although I've been a huge Dylan fan for many years, I must admit that I haven't given much attention to his later works.
But his latest album - Together Through Life is very listenable, very likeable. Ok, lyrically I guess I'll have to accept that we won't be getting the gorgeously intricate and metaphoric lyrics of past days, but he still manages to get some wry observations on life ( "Dreams never did work for me anyway, even when they did come true" ... )
I've worked out the chords and lyrics for "I feel a change comin' on", and posted them to my Dylan chords and lyrics page at the link below:

But his latest album - Together Through Life is very listenable, very likeable. Ok, lyrically I guess I'll have to accept that we won't be getting the gorgeously intricate and metaphoric lyrics of past days, but he still manages to get some wry observations on life ( "Dreams never did work for me anyway, even when they did come true" ... )
I've worked out the chords and lyrics for "I feel a change comin' on", and posted them to my Dylan chords and lyrics page at the link below:

Snow Patrol "Take back the city" chords and lyrics
Love to play Snow Patrol songs on my guitar, so I was delighted to hear they're releasing a new album "A Hundred Million Suns" last month, I've only had a quick 'listen-thru', but it sounds great, and I'm hoping I'll be able to work out playable versions of some of the songs.
I've got the ball rolling with the new single "Take back the city". If you're an early learner you may be put off by the number of 'sus' chords throughout the song, but I have provided the diagrams for these chords at the beginning of the song - once you get familiar with the shapes and can get into the rhythm with which they carry the verses along, you'll be fine!
I've posted the song to my Snow Patrol Song Chords page, please feel free to check it out.

Iron & Wine - 16, maybe less chords and lyrics
I posted my first Iron & Wine songs in May ( "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" and "Passing Afternoon" ) having just recently started to listen to the band.
I've liked everything I've heard so far, so I plan to keep listening, and working out playable versions of their songs, beginning this month with "Sixteen, maybe less" from their joint venture with Calexico, "In the Reins".
The chords are pretty simple, just D, Bm, G and A - although I have transcribed to C, Am, F and G, with capo on the 2nd fret. I suspect this is how the original was played, as there are nice little runs between the C and Am, that lend the song to being played in the key of C.
You can check out my chords and lyrics interpretation of "16, Maybe Less" on my Rock Guitar song chords page at the link below:

Wilco - 'My Darling' guitar chords and lyrics
So far I've mainly been working out and including Wilco songs from "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", this having been the album which ( somewhat belatedly ) got me hooked.
The plan was to move forward thru the newer albums, but I don't make any apologies for now including the gorgeous "My Darling", from the even earlier "Summerteeth Album".
My musical taste for anything post-1990 has been mainly informed by my gorgeous daughters, who are both Wilco fans, and "My Darling" is a really beautiful song from a parent to their child, which I'd like to dedicate to them. I know, I know, you didn't have me pegged as the schmaltzy type - it's a Father thing.... But it is a lovely, simple song, with pretty basic guitar chords - C, Em, D, G, F.
You can find my chords and lyrics interpretation of "My Darling" on my Wilco page (below):
Wilco - "My Darling" song chords and lyrics
Check out the songs on YouTube, hopefully these interpretations can help you play along with the songs while learning them.

Iron and Wine - "Passing Afternoon" chords and lyrics
Iron and Wine fans will be pleased to hear that, having posted chords & lyrics for my first Iron & Wine song ( Flightless Bird, American Mouth ) only yesterday, I have posted another today - "Passing Afternoon".
Followers of the US series "House" may remember this one from the final double-episode of Season 4, played over the tearjerking moments...
If you are not an Iron and Wine fan, take time out to listen to their stuff. It might be easy to dismiss as 'Emo', but Sam Beam's singing is absolutely knockout, lying somewhere between Neil Young, Michael Stipe and Jeff Buckley, while not sounding like any of these - just unique.
For the early learning guitarist, most of their stuff is a godsend, simple chords but with really tuneful melodies, so if you can nail them vocally, you can sound really professional without being a guitar virtuoso.
Just to repeat from the previous post, that I also have chords and lyrics to "Such Great Heights" which was an Iron and Wine cover of the Postal Service original. I've listed it as a Postal Service song, but I think my interpretation covers both versions.
You can check out my chords and lyrics interpretation of "Flightless Bird" is on my Rock Guitar song chords page at the link below:

Nilsson - Without You chords and lyrics
As my site has now been around for 10 years, I've come to assume that I had posted all of the older, classic songs years ago. It's really only now, when I'm struggling to find good, new guitar songs, that the "Golden Oldie" radio stations are getting me to rush to the PC, just to confirm that the song I'm listening to is already on the site.
Which wasn't the case today, when listening to Harry Nilsson's "Without You", which for me will always be a classic 1970's ballad, while I know that many will think of it as a Mariah Carey song ( see... I'd written down Whitney Houston, but luckily Googled it, just to be sure...! ).
Either way, there can be very few of my website visitors and Blog readers who won't be familiar with the song, and it has the great advantage of being a huge ballad which was a big success for both a male and female singer, so let's take this one out of the shower and into the public performance domain, eh?
You can find chords and lyrics for "Without You" on my Pop Songs guitar chords page, at the link below:

Oasis - 'Falling Down" guitar chords & lyrics
Oasis saved my life!! Well... my musical life at least. After enduring the horrors of 80's disco and 'New Romance', I'd pretty much accepted that I'd just keep plodding on playing old 60's and 70's folk and rock songs. And then I heard the rip-roaring raucousness that was 'Definitely Maybe', and I was back on track - 15 years on I'm eagerly awaiting albums from Kings of Leon, Killers, Arctic Monkeys, The Fray, The Shins ... any of the great rock bands that resurfaced after that mid-90's guitar revolution and were influenced by it.
Which of course, still includes Oasis - their 2008 album 'Dig Out Your Soul' showed signs of a return to former greatness, leading to them receiving the NME award for "Best British Band of 2009"
I have already worked out my interpretations of "I'm outta time" and "Shock of the Lightning" and posted them to my Oasis Chords and Lyrics page I've now worked out chords & lyrics for "Falling Down" ( the 27th Oasis song on my site ) which you can check out at the link below:
Guitar Chords and Lyrics to Oasis "Falling Down"
I hope you'll have as much fun playing the song as I've had!

The Shins 'Australia' guitar chords & lyrics
Just realized that it's nearly five months since I added a song from my newest 'favourite band', The Shins - shame on me!
The songs are pretty quirky, and difficult enough to work out, although in the end, reasonably easy to play. This time around, sticking with the 'Wincing the Night Away' album, I've worked out the chords and lyrics for 'Australia'. The chords are: E, C#m, F#m and A - if you find these too difficult, put your capo on the 2nd fret and play D, Bm, Em and G ( substituting D for E, Bm for C#m etc. ). I have a guide to chord transposition you might find handy at http://www.guitarsongs.info/transpos.htm
You can find my version of The Shins "Australia" on my guitar chords website at the link below:

Ane Brun 'Big in Japan' guitar chords & lyrics
I have to admit, I hadn't heard of Ane Brun, who hails from Norway, until I tried to find out who sang the song on the Sky HD TV ad, and found it was her.
Not sure if "Big in Japan" has been released in Ireland/UK ( or even the US? ) but it's getting a load of airplay here in Ireland at the moment. I knew the song sounded familiar when I first heard it, but only when the chorus kicked in did I recognize it as another Cyndi Lauper song ( also covered by Alphaville ).
It's an amazing version of the song, if you can imagine Norah Jones singing with a Jeff Buckley guitar backing, you get the idea.
It's a lovely, soulful version of what was a pretty raucous pop song, as I recall it. I've worked out the chords and lyrics for the song, which you can find below. Just guessing, but I would imagine you just speed it up if you want to play the Cyndi Lauper / Alphaville version. Check it out at this link:

The Fray "You Found Me" chords and lyrics
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.

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.
