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:

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.

REM - Supernatural Superserious chords and Lyrics

REM released "Accelerate", their 14th studio album, earlier this year. After the general disappointment of fans with its predecessor "Around the Sun", "Accelerate" marks a return to a more guitar-based sound. Which suits me just fine!

'Supernatural Superserious', the first single from the album is definitely reminiscent of earlier albums, I think it sounds as if it could have been on 'Monster'.

My chords and lyrics version of the song, suitable for either electric or acoustic guitar players is now on my guitar chords and lyrics website, strangely enough, on the REM page! I have quite a few of their songs, scroll down about halfway down the page. Check it out at the link below:

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.

Meanwhile, I have worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics for "You and Me", my favourite song from the eponymous "Lifehouse" album in 2004. You can check it out at the link below:

Wilco - Either Way Chords

Yet another band I keep promising to listen more too - Wilco, a kind of alternative country/indie band from Chicago. They've been around for quite a while ( first album released in 1995 ), but I'm listening to their later stuff and working my way back!

I've worked out my interpretation of "Either Way" from their new 2007 album "Sky Blue Sky" - a lovely song, one I really enjoy playing.

You can find my version of the song chords and lyrics for "Either Way" on my Rock Songs page at the link below:
