John Mayer - "Say" chords and lyrics

To be honest, working out versions of John Mayer songs suitable for learning to intermediate guitar players is quite a challenge, but his latest song "Say", from the film sountrack of "The Bucket List", is a really nice, melodic song, and with the use of the learning guitarist's best friend, the Capo, can be played with very basic chords - G, C, D, Em and Am7

I've worked out my interpretation of the song which you can find on the link below:

Chords and lyrics for John Mayer songs

"Say" has been added to the re-released versions of John Mayer's third album "Continuum", from which I've already included chords for "Waiting on the World to Change". There are now 15 songs on the John Mayer page (above).

Aqualung - Strange and Beautiful guitar chords

I had previously posted just one song from Aqualung ( aka Matt Hales ) - which was the classic "Brighter than Sunshine", from the "Still Life" album, posted on my Miscellaneous Rock Guitar Songs page

Strange and Beautiful was actually the debut Aqualung single, from the "Aqualung" album, but both songs feature on the first Aqualung US album, also titled "Strange and Beautiful", which was my first introduction to the band/artist, and consisted of selected songs from the two earlier albums.

If you're not familiar with the music, the sound is kind of a cross between Radiohead, Wilco and The Shins. Check out some of the songs on YouTube, if you like 'em, see if my interpretations are useful in helping you to play the songs.

You can check out my version of the chords and lyrics for "Strange and Beautiful" at the link below:

Kings of Leon - On Call chords and lyrics

This is my third attempt at 'chording' a Kings of Leon song - following on from "Bucket" ( from the "Aha Shake Handbrake" album) and "Fans" ( from "Because of the Times" ) both of which you can see on my Miscellaneous Rock Guitar Songs page

"On Call" is one of the other singles from "Because of the Times". It's a challenging enough song vocally, but I've worked out a pretty playable version with just 3 chords - G, Bm and Em. Click the link below to try it out:

Rory Gallagher - Messin' with the Kid chords

Ok, I'm definitely 'punchin' above my weight' here. But... I'm a huge Rory Gallagher fan, and I actually have a Rory Gallagher chords page on my website.

I was just checking out some great YouTube coverage of concert clips from the 70's when I hit upon a mindnumbing version of "Messin' with the Kid", and realized I hadn't included this in the (short) list of Rory songs I have.

Now I know that the chords are a tiny fraction of what's going on in Rory's blues music, but I also know that people ( i.e. ME! ) like to play along with their favourite music from time to time. Also, from experience, I know that learning guitarists love to get into jam sessions with the more accomplished players, so if you're friendly with a guitar-shredding Rory fan, being able to play along with the rhythm for the song is priceless practice - and great fun!

So, I've worked out my usual basic chord pattern for the song, if you want to try it out, click on the link below:

Rory Gallagher guitar chords - Messin' with the Kid

Mew - Symmetry guitar chords and lyrics

Denmark's finest, 'Mew' are what I suppose would be classified as an 'Indie Rock' band, making what one critic called 'dreamy thunderstorm pop'

As one of my daughter's favourite bands, I've been under a little pressure to try working out chord versions of some of their songs, which to be honest is not easy. I had previously worked out and posted 'She came home for Christmas', which ( I have been reminded ) was in the charts for Christmas 2003. I have had "Symmetry", which also appeared on the 2003 album "Frengers", on my "to-do" list since then also, so decided to finally tackle it as part of my May selection of songs.

I had been previously put off by finding some fairly badly transcribed 'Tab' versions of the song, and trying to work out chord versions from these. This time I just listened to the song, figured that the first chord was B flat major 7th... stuck a capo on the 1st fret and ended up with a very nice, and quite playable chord sequence - a Gmaj7 Dmaj7 riff for the verses, with D, E, Bm, A and G thrown in for the Bridge and Chorus.

According to Wikipedia, "Symmetry" features vocals from 14 year old Becky Jarrett of Georgia, USA.

I've posted the chords and lyrics for "Symmetry" to my Pop Guitar Songs page at the link below:

Brendan Benson - Metarie chords and lyrics

Another requested song - and it surprised me somewhat that this is only the second Brendan Benson song I've attempted to work out. Multi-instrumentalist and Raconteur Brendan has been around for about 10 years, and has released seven albums ( 5 solo, and two with the Raconteurs, a band formed with White Stripe's Jack White in 2006 ).

I've enjoyed pretty much everthing of his I've heard, 'tho not all of it would have lent itself to working out straightforward chords, particularly for early learning guitarists, or for acoustic guitar players.

"Metarie", which was released as an EP in 2003 can be played with fairly straightforward chords - Bm7, D, A, E and F#. There is a little riff on the E chord in the chorus involving moving the 4th finger along the 2nd, 3rd and 4th frets ( I named these E1, E2, E3, E4 rather than dig out the technically correct chord titles, as it basically comes under the heading "E riff"! ). A bit of a stretch on the poor pinky, but it's good exercise for that under-used digit!!

The chords for "Metarie" are now on my Rock Guitar Chords page at the link below:

PJs Rock Guitar Chords and Lyrics page

Thanks to Jimmy in Sweden for the request - I think if you know the song, it will be a good one to add to your repertoire, it can sound really good once you've mastered the little chorus riff.

You can buy Brendan Benson music, and Raconteurs music, at CD Universe - Brendan Benson Music / Raconteurs Music page

Brendan's official site can be found at http://www.brendanbenson.com/ and his MySpace page, with some new songs from his up-and-coming album is at http://www.myspace.com/brendanbenson

Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet about Me chords and lyrics

At the tender age of 16, Austrialian singer-songwriter Gabriella Cilmi is something of a veteran, having signed her first US recording contract when she was just 13!

I first heard her last December, when she sang "Sweet About Me" on Later with Jools Holland.

The song has stuck in me head since, and I'm delighted to see that it is now a successful single. I think we'll be hearing much more from the talented Ms. Cilmi in the coming years.


I've worked out my version of the song chords, which you can check out at the link below:

The Kooks 'Seaside' chords and lyrics

I recently posted "Always where I need to be" from the new Kooks album "Konk" - and hopefully will be working out some more songs from this excellent 2nd album.

But... I received a request ( or possibly a reprimand ) from one of my visitors, who asked in my Guestbook if I could post a "simple" version of "Seaside", the first track from their debut album "Inside in/Inside Out'.

When I listened to the song again, I could see what he meant - it was in the key of E flat minor ( well, actually F sharp major but let's not get hung up on detail! ), which doesn't lend itself to handy chords for the learning guitarist to get around.

So I transposed the chords down to B minor ( A major ), which produced a set of chords ( Bm, D, G, A, E ) which most early learners could get their fingers around, and posted it to PJs Guitar Chords at the link below:

PJs Kooks Guitar Chords and Lyrics page

It's a short, cute little summer song, check it out here on Youtube and see if you can play along. If you put a capo on the 4th fret, and play the chords indicated, you should find that you're in the right key.

Wilco - 'I am trying to break your heart' chords

Wilco have been one of those 'slow-burner' bands for me. Always quite liked them, bought the albums, but never really listened to them that often. I had posted "Jesus Etc" and "Either Way" earlier, to my Miscellaneous Rock guitar songs page, mainly on my daughters' recommendations. But I listened to them exclusively recently while walking the pup, and have definitely 'seen the light' - I hope to work out and post enough of their songs to warrant a seperate Wilco page on the site, very soon.

Meanwhile, I have worked out my version of "I am trying to break your heart" from the somewhat controversial "Yankee Foxtrot Tango" album, and for the time being, posted it to the Misc. Rock songs page at the link below:

Regina Spektor - Samson chords and lyrics

I had previously worked out and posted chords and lyrics to "Hotel Room" from "Begin to Hope", the fourth album by New-York-based, Moscow-born Regina Spektor. I had always intended that I would work on some of the other songs from this album, but am amazed to discover that the "Hotel Room" post was in May 2007!

So - I've decided to rectify the omission, and have worked out my basic chords and lyrics version of "Samson", another great song from the album. The song is now included on my Miscellaneous Pop Guitar Songs page, which now as 221 songs. The website ( PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics ) has chords and lyrics to 1,710 songs )

The song is in the key of B major - I have transcribed it to A major to make the chords a bit more playable for learning guitarists ( you can still play along with the CD by putting a capo on the 2nd fret ) - but I've included the version in B for the purists! You can try your hand at playing the song by clicking on the link below

Badfinger - Come and get it chords and lyrics

I've often been listening to radio, or watching TV and a great old 70s song from my .. em.. infancy... comes on, and I think 'That's a brilliant guitar song, nice chord sequence, not too tricky, good melody' But I end up not working it out for inclusion on my guitar chords Website or this Blog on the basis that most of the guitar community are just too young to know the song.

This situation arose recently watching "Top of the Pops 2" when Badfinger appeared, playing "Come and Get It", a really nice pop/rock song, with a great melody, and mostly straightforward chords, with one or two challenging ones for the early learning guitarist.

So I figured that while there will be people going 'What-finger? - who???', that in the age of YouTube and Wikipedia there are no excuses for anyone not being able to listen to a song, or find out about an artist - I'll post it, and encourage people to have a listen and maybe learn a little about the band. They were actually mentored by none other than The Beatles ( particularly George, if memory serves ), and for a while were touted as the next BIG band from the Apple label.

Unfortunately tragedy overtook two of the band members, and the band never realised it's potential. But they have left us with some great tracks, and I'm happy to have worked out chords and lyrics to 'Come and Get it', which I've posted on my Pop guitar songs page, at the link below:

Chords and Lyrics to Pop songs - Badfinger 'Come and get it'


You can buy Badfinger music at CDUniverse - Badfinger Music page

While there doesn't appear to be an official Badfinger website, individual members have their sites ( just search for: badfinger official website ), as usual wikipedia is the best source of information if you want to find out more about the band. Link below:

Kooks 'Always where I need to be' chords

Always a bit of a nailbiter when a band you like are about to release their second Album.

I loved 'Inside In/Inside Out', the million-selling debut album by Brighton Brit-Pop-Punk-Rock band, "The Kooks", particularly "Naive" and "She Moves in her own Way". I wouldn't be quite as bowled over as I am by The Fratellis ( nervously awaiting their second offering...! ), but a great band nonetheless, and "Konk", their second album, is growing on me with every listen.

'Always where I need to be'', is the new single from "Konk", and it continues in the quirky, rocky vein of it's predecessors.

I've worked out a playable version of the song, which should be suitable for either electric or acoustic guitar and, as I already had 3 Kooks songs on my guitar chords and lyrics website, I've now created a new 'Kooks' page, at the link below:

Galway Girl - chords and lyrics

Still spending much time listening to the older songs in my collection. I remember my daughter buying me the single of Steve Earle and Sharon Shannon performing Steve's "Galway Girl" as if it was yesterday - Wikipedia tells me it was from Steve's "Transcendental Blues" and Sharon (+friends)"The Diamond Mountain Session" albums - both realeased in 2000! Unbelievable!

What's even harder to believe is that I didn't put the song up on my guitar chords site at the time, it's a great song. Anyway, eight years on, and Sharon has recently recorded the song again, this time with Mundy, so I am making good the omission, and have added the song to my Folk songs guitar chords page, at the link below:

Tori Amos - "Winter" chords and lyrics

I've been in very reflective mode lately, listening to a lot of the older stuff in my CD collection. One artist who I have shamefully neglected, not having posted any of her songs on my guitar chords and lyrics website, is Tori Amos. Tori is widely acclaimed as having single-handedly kick-started the whole female singer-songwriter genre in the early 90's.

I have selected "Winter" from her first, and arguably best, album - Little Earthquakes - to add to my list of song chords and lyrics quota for April. You can find it on my site, PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics, at the link below:

The Frames - Neath the Beeches chords & lyrics

Since posting Glen Hansard's "Falling Slowly" last month, I've been listening to some of the Frames older stuff quite a lot. I'd almost forgotten what a great band they are, and what a fabulous voice Glen has.

One of the 'oldies' that shows off the talents better than most is "Neath the Beeches", a haunting song from their 1999 album "Dance the Devil". I already have "Star, Star" from this album on my Rock Songs page - hard to believe it's 9 years ago!

I've worked out fairly playable chords and lyrics to "Neath the Beeches" which you can find on my guitar chords website at the link below:

Elvis Ain't Dead chords - Scouting for Girls

In the tradition of the many bubbly British pop/rock bands which have abounded over the past few years, Scouting For Girls hit the scene big time when their eponymous debut album hit the UK #1 spot last year.

Lifehouse - You and Me chords

I'm really just cathing up with Lifehouse - hadn't really listened to any of their stuff since "Hanging in a Moment" back in 2001. Just started listening to "Who We Are", and hopefully will work out a song or two from that album presently.

That's how people grow up - Morrissey

"That's how people grow up" is the fantastic single ( and the only new song ). from the "Greatest Hits" album of one Stephen Patrick Morrissey, aka Morrissey, aka 'Mozza'.

Having set the 80's alight with The Smiths, he continues to create pithy lyrics and haunting melodies; while there is a continuity with his early works, his newer songs still sound current.

It's quite a playable song, even on acoustic guitar. I've posted my interpretation of the chords and lyrics on the Smiths/Morrissey page of my website at the link below:

Glen Hansard - Falling Slowly chords and lyrics

In February, "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard ( of Frames fame ) and Marketa Irglova won an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" ( From the film "Once" ). The Frames are one of the most underrated bands on the planet, and Glen ( who appeared as 'Outspan' in 1991's "The Committments" ), is thoroughly deserving of this great achievement.

It's a lovely, haunting song, I've done my best to work out playable chords and lyrics which you can find on my guitar chords website at the link below:
