The Smiths "Cemetry Gates" guitar chords & lyrics

"The Queen is Dead" is widely recognized as the finest Smiths album, it's certainly my favourite!

The Smiths were one of very few bands and artists - Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Madness, Nirvana - who sustained me through the 80's. Morrissey's quirky lyrics and compelling voice and Johnny Marr's acrobatic guitar playing were a real breath of fresh air.

I've already posted a few of the songs from the album to my Smiths guitar chords page, including "Frankly Mr. Shankly", "Bigmouth", "There is a light that never goes out" (great, great song!), I've now added "Cemetry Gates" (original spelling) to the list.

Quite easy chords (for The Smiths!) - just G, C, D, Em and Bm, with a Gmaj7 thrown in for the opening and closing riffs. Obviously you're not gonna recreate the Smiths sound just playing chords, but you can still have a lot of fun with this song. Check out the chords and lyrics at the link below:

Beatles - All Together Now chords & lyrics

Yet another song brought to mind by a TV ad - this time it's the Budweiser ad, featuring a version of the Beatles "All Together Now", from the Yellow Submarine album. When looking for Beatles songs to play on guitar , Yellow Submarine is not the first album you reach for, so this song has pretty much passed me by over the years.

But hearing it again on the ad, it is a bouncy, fun song, and very easy to play - in fact it is one of the 'dream' songs for early learners, as it features just three chords - G, C and D, generally the first three chords guitar tutors will teach.

So as it's a fun song, and very suitable for early learners, I have worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics and posted them to my Beatles page ( link below )

I hope you'll have as much fun with it as I have!

Jack Johnson - Bubble Toes

August 16 - added Jack Johnson's 'Bubble Toes' ( Bubbly Toes ? ) to my Jack Johnson Song chords page - www.guitarsongs.info/jack-johnson.htm, Just started listening to JJ, and this song is pretty cool, so I'll probably be adding more of his stuff.


Check out the chords and lyrics to 1400+ other great songs at PJ's Guitar Chords and Lyrics

Also - check out the articles and lessons on my GuitarTips blog http://www.guitar-tips.blogspot.com/ All articles supplied by Chris Elmore, GuitarTips webmaster especially for my site visitors.

For those if you aspiring to play keyboards, I highly recommend Jermaine Griggs' HearAndPlay program. The 'play by ear' techniques he employs had me playing some of my favourite songs literally within days, and I'm building up a real keyboard repertoire now. Whatever your musical preferences - Rock, Soul, Country, Blues - this program will have you playing your favourite songs on piano/keyboards ( and understanding how to recognize regularly used sequences for re-use in other songs ) in just a few days

Tom Waits, John Kongos songs

Two new songs added to the site, the delicious "Singapore" by the inimitable Tom Waits, and a probably lesser known song: "Tokoloshe Man" by John Kongos.

My love of Tom Waits music is probably pretty obvious by now! Much of his stuff is difficult to translate just for guitar, but I've done my best with "Singapore", great song!

You can find my interpretation on my Tom Waits page:

http://www.guitarsongs.info/waits.htm

Younger visitors are probably saying "John WHO??". But if you haven't heard Kongos' early 70's 'Jungle Stomp' songs, you should really try to get hold of both "Tokoloshe Man" and "He's Gonna Step on you again" ( covered by Def Leppard, among others ) - the songs are available on iTunes according to www.johnkongos.com. His "Tribal Stomp" sound was, I believe, the first use of authentic African music fused with rock, well worth checking out.

Both songs are posted on my "Rock Songs" page, at:

http://www.guitarsongs.info/rock.htm#Hs ( "He's gonna step..." ) and
http://www.guitarsongs.info/rock.htm#Ts ( "Tokoloshe Man" ).

Fratellis - Ol' black n blue eyes chords and lyrics

Ok, if you're not a fan of The Fratellis, recent posts may have seemed repetitive, not to say evangelical! But come on, listen to the album a few times - get with the program!!!

Seriously, "Costello Music" by the Fratellis has been a real revelation to me, one of the best pop/rock/punk albums I've heard in the last 10 years. If you haven't already got this album - go get it now!!

I have now worked out easy-to-play chords for "Ol' Black'n'blue eyes", and it's on my guitar chords website.

Beatles - I'm So Tired

Listening (again) to the Beatles' White album, I realized I've posted many Beatles songs to my Guitar Chords website, but very few from this epocryphal album. To begin the process of setting this right, I've posted "I'm so Tired to my "Beatles guitar songs" page, just click on the link below:

http://www.guitarsongs.info/Beatles.htm

Lots of Beatles songs sound better with piano - if you're interested in playing piano there is a great website which can teach you to play by ear, and recognize patterns which repeat in hundreds of songs, so you can be playing your favourite songs within a few days. The site is called Hear-And-Play, and you can see for yourself at the link below:
