Chords and lyrics for Neil Young "Harvest" and "Harvest Moon"

Today's attention is drawn to my Neil Young page, and I've taken two of my many favourites, both to listen to and play - "Harvest" and "Harvest Moon",  validated and corrected my transcriptions, converted them from text to website format, and embedded the Youtube videos of the songs in each new web page.

No major transcription changes, both songs are in native D major.  Slight doubt about the endline of the verse and chorus of Harvest "... promise of a man", which I had chorded with D  and A, but as I listen to the song, Neil seems to remain on the D for all of the end of the line.  I've notated it as D  (A), as I find it more natural to play the A chord myself - try playing it both ways yourself, see which you think sounds better for you.



The converted and updated pages with these songs are at the links below, and videos for both songs have been embedded. The songs are chorded in the correct key for playing along with the video.



"Harvest" chords are - D   A   G   Bm  and E  -  a nice easy set of chords for learning guitarists  ( see Guitar Chords for Harvest )

"Harvest Moon" chords  are D  D/B ( 004232 )  Dmaj7  Em7  G  A7sus4 (002030) and A7  ( see Guitar Chords for Harvest Moon )


These new versions are now available on my Neil Young guitar chords page, along with a bunch more which will be tackled later..  You can find all of  my Neil Young songs guitar transcriptions at the link below:

The Script "Science And Faith" guitar chords and lyrics

While the album "Science and Faith" pretty much put Irish band The Script on the global map, hitting No. 1 in UK and Irish charts, and #3 in the US charts, the single of the same name, last single released from the album, seems to have fared less well. I think it's right up there with their best songs - I've worked out a chords and lyrics version and posted it to my Rock songs guitar chords website page.

You can check it out at the link below, and I've embedded a video of the song, in case you'd like to try playing along:

Noel Gallagher "Death of You and Me" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I was a huge fan of Oasis in the mid-90s, once again thanks to the good taste of my lovely daughters! As a result, there are obout 30 Oasis songs on my Oasis guitar chords page.

I kinda didn't keep up with the later albums, but since hearing the first few songs from the debut album, simply titled "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds", I have been re-converted. Noel and his new troupe of musicians combine the best of the melodic side of Oasis, without being 'Oasis-light' - there is still a rocky edge to the sound. Delighted to hear that the new tour ( currently in Ireland ) is really kicking up a storm, with fans and critics alike.

I've worked out the chords and lyrics for the first single from the album "Death of You and Me", which for convenience I have posted to my Oasis page (see above). Click on the link below to go straight to the page for the song:

Bruno Mars "The Lazy Song" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I've already worked out chords and lyrics for "Just The Way You Are" and "Grenade", the first two singles from Bruno Mars' chart-topping album "Doo-Wops and Hooligans". I really like his upbeat mix of pop, reggae and just generally "feelgood" music.

I recently worked out and posted my interpretation of the third single from the album, "The Lazy Song", and posted it to my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page, at the link below. The original song is in the key of B major, which means that the song chords would be quite tricky for learning players. I have transposed the song down four semitones, to the key of G ( every beginner's favourite! ), so the transposed chords are G, D, C, B7, Am, Bm and Em. Just put a capo on the 4th fret to bring the song back to B, if you want to play along with the original. The song is available on my website at:

Train "Marry Me" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I first heard of Train last year, when their single "Hey Soul Sister" ( which I have posted to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page ) was getting lots of radio play, but I gather they've been around for quite a few years.

I will try to catch up on their older stuff at some point, but in the meantime I have worked out the chords and lyrics for their latest single "Marry Me".

The chords are pretty playable, even for beginners: C, G, G5, Am, F, Am/G, Bb and Csus4. If some of these chords don't sound familiar, don't worry, I have included diagrams for them, they are mainly just variations of chords you'll already know.

I've posted the song to my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:

Sade "Still In Love With You" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

Following a return from over 10 years of retirement, and the release of a new album "Soldier of Love", Sade have released a brilliant compilation album, "The Ultimate Collection", featuring all of the old classics ( including my own personal favourite "By Your Side".

As well as providing all your favourite Sade songs on one album, there is also the inclusion of an absolutely gorgeous cover of a ( to me at least ) lesser-known Thin Lizzy song "Still in Love with You". Since hearing the cover, I have checked out the original, which is brilliant, but when you listen to the cover version it just sounds like the song was written for Sade's smooth and smoky vocals.

The chords for the song are straightforward enough - Am, D, Dm, G, C, C/B and Am7, with a single Fmaj7 right at the end, although as indicated in my transcription, you can alter these chords slightly for a bluesier sound.


I've posted my interpretation of Sade's cover of "Still in Love With You" to my Sade song chords page, or at the link below:

Two Door Cinema Club - Chords for "What You Know"

This is my second attempt at working out a 2-Door Cinema Club song, having posted chords and lyrics for "Something Good Can Work" to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords Page about a year ago.

With the shortage of good new songs by what I'd class as "Guitar Bands" these days, I've had to step a bit outside of my comfort zone and try working on songs by bands like "Owl City", "Florence and the Machine", "Paramore" and a few others in, I suppose, the "electro-pop" genre, including of course "Two Door Cinema Club". They are almost all nice, catchy, sing-along songs though, and generally sound ok even just played on acoustic guitar, even though the song itself is carried mostly by electronic keyboards.

This one is in the key of F#m, so I have transcribed it to Em, which means putting a capo on the 2nd fret, to bring it up to the original key.

Chords aren't too tricky: Em, Em7, D6, Bm, Cmaj7 on the verse, and Em, Em7/F# ( 220000 ), G and Cmaj7.


My guitar version of "What You Know" has been uploaded to my Rock songs chords page, you can find it at the link below:

Noah and the Whale - L.I.F.E. G.O.E.S. O.N.

I have already posted chords and lyrics for "5 Years Time" and "Shape of my Heart" by English indie-folk-rock band Noah and the Whale, from their debut album "Peaceful, the world lays me down". You can find them on my Rock songs guitar chords page.

I have to admit that I really didn't catch the second album, "Blue Skies", but "Life Goes On" ( or more accurately "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N." ), the first single from the new album "Last Night on Earth" has been getting lots of airplay, and receiving good critical review.

I have worked out a very playable chords and lyrics version of the song, which has also been added to my Rock songs page, you can check it out at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Cee Lo Green "Forget You"

This has gotta be the classic pop/soul song of 2011! I'd never heard of Cee Lo Green before this, but I gather from Wikipedia that he was half of Gnarls Barkley, who had had a UK and US number 1 previously with "Crazy"

"Forget You" ( originally titled "F**k You", but very sensibly toned down to get radio exposure! ) is a tongue-in-cheek lyric, bemoaning the fact that he can't get the girl 'cos he ain't got the money, but surging along on an almost 60's Motown feelgood rhythm and melody.

I figured this one would probably be a "must play" cover for all guitarists who play at work / friend / family sessions ( most probably using the original lyrics ... ), so I've worked out a chords and lyrics version which is very easy to play, even for beginning guitarists. Basically it is C major, D7th, F major and back to C most of the way thru.

There is a bridge which has E minor, A minor, F major, G major and D minor ( there is a little bass "walk-up" from the Am to the Dm if you can manage it, but you'll get away without it - chances are your audience will be singing along so loud they won't notice! )


I've posted my chords and lyrics version of "Forget You" on the Guitarsongs.info Soul, R&B page 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:

Kings of Leon "Radioactive" Guitar Chords & Lyrics

Hard to believe that it's over two years since I posted chords and lyrics for a song by Tenesee's finest. The Kings of Leon are right up there with the top rock bands on the planet, they have regularly headlined at at least one of Ireland's summer rock festivals for the past number of years.

I had previously posted my interpretations on my Rock Songs guitar chords page for "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire", from the 2008 album "Only by the Night", as well as older songs like "Molly's Chambers", "Fans", and "The Bucket".

I have now added my version of "Radioactive", the first single from the 2010 album "Come around Sundown"

The original key for the song is F major, but I've found it easier to put a capo on the 3rd fret, and play in the key of D major. This leaves you with chords D, D/F#, Bm, Asus4 and Em7 ( I have diagrams for these chords if you're not familiar with them ).

I have posted my version of "Radioactive" on my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at www.guitarsongs.info (PJ's Guitar Chords and Lyrics)

The chords and lyrics for "Radioactive" are at this link:

Plan B "Love Goes Down" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I usually find songs with a nice vocal, interrupted by a rap 'interlude' really annoying, but when I heard "She Said", the first single from Plan B's "The defamation of Strickland Banks", I was totally smitten with Ben Drew's ( aka Strickland Banks, aka Plan B ... ) fabulous vocal, and with the catchiness of the song itself. I worked out the chords and lyrics and posted them to my Soul and R & B song chords page.

I've also taken a shining to the last single released from the album "Love Goes Down", the vocal, if possible is even more soulful and uplifting.

I've now also worked out the chords for this one, lovely set of chords, Dm, Am7, Gm7, F, C and Bb. There was the temptation to transpose these to an easier set of chords for guitar beginners, but to be honest, these chords were just meant for the song, they complement the song's smooth, silky and soulful melody perfectly.


I've posted my chords and lyrics transcription of "Love Goes Down" on the Guitarsongs.info Soul, R&B page at the link below:

Villagers "That Day" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

Villagers are the latest of the new wave of Irish bands who are giving some musical hope at least to a country who's leaders seem determined to drag it down to the morass.

Their new album "Becoming a Jackal" reached number 1 in the Irish Album and Indie Charts, while also being nominated for a Mercury prize, while the band themselves were nominated for a Q award.

I first heard them on Jools Holland on BBC2, and was hooked, particularly to the whimsical "That Day", which is actually their 4th single.

I've worked out my version of the song, and added it to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the Guitarsongs.Info link below.

If you listen to the video ( also below ), the song is actually played in the key of G# ( A flat ), but I've chorded it in the the key of G, and indicated that you should put your capo on the 1st fret to get the correct pitch for the recorded song.

After transposition to G, the chords are a fairly manageable set of G, C, D, E minor, B minor and G/F# ( which is just a transition chord between the G and the E minor and is played: 2xx003 )

Travis "Humpty Dumpty Love Song" Chords and Lyrics

I had previously worked out and posted chords and lyrics to Travis' "Flowers in the Window", "Side" and "Sing" from their "Invisible Band" album to my Travis song chords page, but had never actually listened to the album, other than those three singles.

My niece recently posted a YouTube video of the song "Humpty Dumpty Love Song", which is the last track on the album, and is actually one of the best Travis songs I've heard yet.

Chords are interesting, and not too tricky, verse is: C, G, Em, Am, F, Fm, C ; Chorus is just Am and C, and the Bridge is A, Dm, Dsus4, G7 and G. I have diagrams of all of the chords included.

I've added my transcription to the other nine songs on my Travis guitar chords page, you can find them all at the link below:

Biffy Clyro "Bubbles" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

This is my first attempt at chording a Biffy Clyro song - despite the fact that both of my daughters have been fans since they were a virtually unknown band more than 10 years ago! While I liked what I was hearing from them, I didn't think they had enough global appeal to be of interest to my site visitors or Blog readers.

Only in the past couple of years have the band become an 'overnight success', their last album "Only Revolutions" hitting the UK charts at number 8, and peaking at the number three spot.

"Bubbles" is actually the 5th single taken from the album, I must admit I haven't listented to it extensively, but it is certainly more commercial than the earlier stuff I'd heard, reminiscent of bands like Snow Patrol, Keane, with maybe a touch of Kings of Leon.

I have worked out my version of "Bubbles" - the song is in G sharp/A Flat, so I've worked it out with a capo on the 1st fret, which means you can play it with chords in the key of G, and still play along with the record. Chords are mostly simple - G, D, E minor 7, B minor, A, A sus4, and F#/Dsus4 ( which is not as tricky as it sounds, being 2x0233, i.e. play the Dsus4 chord and hold down the 2nd fret, 6th string with your thumb ).

Although it's a 'rock band' kind of song, you can have fun with it on an acoustic, and it still sounds good. My transcription of Bubbles is now on my Rock Songs guitar chords page at the link below

Leonard Cohen "Feels So Good" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I can hardly believe that I'm typing this, but I have just worked out chords and lyrics for a NEW song by the 74-years-young legend that is Leonard Cohen!

Leonard Cohen's music has been a part of my life since I was a curious teenager, swimming through the oceans of bland music in search of a few islands of hope and joy. I was fortunate enough to discover 'Songs from a Room', and have been a huge fan since. This is a very humble tribute to Leonard Cohen, but you get the picture.

I was unfortunate not to be able to catch him live on his 2009 tour, but the DVD of the London performance has provided me with over 2 and a half hours of spiritual renewal and uplift many, many times.

"Feels so Good" doesn't seem to have featured on that tour, but is now one of the songs Leonard plays as he tours yet again in 2010. To still be writing songs, and indeed undertaking arduous tours, at the time other men of his age have settled for the TV remote, is an indication of the passion and the creativity of the man.

While this is by no means Leonard's best work, it fits in so well with the whole 'vibe' of his recent tours, and has some wonderful wry lyrics - "Cup of coffee in the kitchen, fire up a little danger to my health"...

I'm delighted to be adding to my store of Cohen song chords again, I've posted this one to the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics - "Feels so Good" by Leonard Cohen





You might enjoy playing along with the song above, or on Youtube at Leonard Cohen - "Feels So Good" live in Chicago . To the best of my knowledge the song hasn't appeared on a studio album as yet, but there are a number of live versions available on YouTube.

You can find the official Leonard Cohen website at : leonardcohen.com

Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Joshua Radin "I'd rather be with you"

Joshua Radin is one of those artists who just seems to pass me by, I never seem to hear his songs on radio. I had previously posted my chords and lyrics version of "Closer", which was from Joshua's debut album "We Were Here", but which I actually first heard in an episode of "Scrubs" ( which has been a great source for me in finding good artists I might never have otherwise heard ).

I did recently hear "I'd rather be with you" played on Irish radio, and assumed it was his new single, but a little research shows that this is from his 2nd album "Simple Times", released in 2008, and he actually has a new album "The Rock and The Tide" currently in pre release. I must keep my ears open this time!

In any case, I have worked on creating a simple version of the song, and my interpretation is now on my Pop Songs guitar chords page at the link below

PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Pop Songs, Joshua Radin "I'd Rather be with You"



You should try playing along with the song above, or at YouTube - Joshua Radin "I'd rather be with you". The song is actually in C sharp / D flat, but I've chorded it in C major, so you'll need to put a capo on the first fret to play along in the correct key.


Check out the Joshua Radin MySpace page, where you can listen to "I'd Rather Be With You" and 3 of his other songs, check out his official website at JoshuaRadin.com

The Script "For The First Time" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I had previously posted chords and lyrics for "Breakeven" and "The Man Who Can't be moved" from the debut self-titled album by Dublin three-piece band The Script, who are maintaining the trend of new Irish bands breaking onto the international scene in recent years. The band have recently played support for such luminaries as U2 and Paul McCartney.

If anything, their second album, "Science and Faith" is even better than "The Script", both being among those rare albums where every song is a gem, with no makeweight or lightweight songs.

I have now worked out my interpretation of their first single from the new album, "For the First Time" and posted it to my Rock Guitar songs page , at the link below:

The Doors "Break on Through to the Other Side" chords and lyrics

I'm not sure if "Break on through to the other side" has featured in a recent movie, in a TV ad, or if there is just a resurgence of The Doors music, but, not having heard this song in years, it has literally been all over Irish radio stations in the past few months.

My first reaction was to go to my Doors songs guitar chords page, and have a go at playing the song again. Then realized I had never worked out the song, or at least never added it to this page, which I first uploaded in 1999.

Second thought was that maybe it was one of those songs which didn't translate too well to just playing chords on an acoustic guitar, but I decided to have a go anyway!

While I can't claim the transcription I came up with is going to make you sound like the late, great Jim Morrison, it does offer a very simplified chords and lyrics version of "Break on Through" which guitarists of most levels should be able to have fun with.

Obviously if you have a friend who can shred some of those doom-laden Doors licks along with your playing, so much the better, but - give it a go anyway! The good news is that you only need to know two chords - D major (D) and E minor (Em). You will really need to listen to the original to get the strumming patterns, but I've indicated the chord changes as best I can.

I've added my transcription to the other Doors songs on the page ( People are Strange, Riders on the Storm, Hello I love you and Light My Fire, you can find them all at the link below:

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:
