Little Drop of Poison - Tom Waits

I have been remiss in not posting any songs by my favourite arist of late.

This is another song from the amazing triple CD "Orphans - Bawlers, Brawlers and Bastards" by the indescribably brilliant Tom Waits.

This time round I've worked out my interpretation of the wonderfully quirky "Little Drop of Poison", from the "Bawlers" CD, this song also featured in the soundtrack of "Shrek 2"

You can find my version of the chords and lyrics to "Little Drop of Poison" at the link below:

The Tom Waits album "Orphans - Bawlers, Brawlers and Bastards" can be purchased online at

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly chords and lyrics

I first 'discovered' Colbie Caillat ( not literally! ) when she sent me an add request on MySpace about 18 months ago. She was an unsigned artist at that time, but listening to her profile songs ( to which Bubbly was added quite early ), it was obvious she was going places. Having been #1 Unsigned singer for an amazing 3 months, Bubbly finally broke the charts in the US, making it all the way to the #1 Spot.

For some reason, it's taking some time for Colbie to hit the same heights on my side of the pond - if you are one of the unfortunates who haven't heard her sultry blend of country/blues/rock ballad, check out the 6 songs on her MySpace profile ( Bubbly included ), and see why the song had 22 million clicks up to last August!!

For those who are familiar with the song, and would like to attempt playing it, I have worked out a pretty straightforward version which you can reach at the link below:

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly chords and lyrics.



You can buy her brilliant first album "Coco", featuring "Bubbly" and her other singles at CD Universe - Colbie Caillat music page

Colbie's official website is at http://www.colbiecaillatmusic.com/ Her world renowned MySpace page is at http://www.myspace.com/colbiecaillat - this is a 'must visit' page!!!

The Arcade Fire - Wake Up Chords

Another band I really need to catch up with is "Arcade Fire". While being aware of them for some time, I really haven't taken the time to listen to their work.

They are a Canadian band founded in 2003 by Win Butler and Régine Chassagne ( husband and wife ), and have released two studio albums - "Funeral" in 2004 and "Neon Bible" earlier this year.

"Wake up" comes from the earlier album, and I've added my chords and lyrics version of the song to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:
Hopefully I will manage to add another couple from this album before moving on to "Neon Bible".

Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God guitar chords and lyrics

Just watching TV coverage of the Summer Rock Festivals has been a great 'heads-up' for some songs I have neglected to post on the site.

One of these was from Leeds rockers The Kaiser Chiefs, one of the ultimate rock anthems - "Oh My God". With the chorus line repetition, you'll definitely get the crowd ( and/or your dog.. ) singing and clapping along to this one. I've posted my interpretation of "Oh My God" on my Kaiser Chiefs song chords page, see link below:

Supertramp - Breakfast in America (girlfriend) chords and lyrics

It was only when I heard Cupid's Chokehold on radio with their single "Take a look at my girlfriend" that I realized that I hadn't posted the classic Supertramp song "Breakfast in America", from which the chorus samples are taken, to my site. So - I've rectified the omission, my interpretation of the original Supertramp song is now on my Rock Song chords page ( link below )

Though it dates back to 1979, it's another one of those timeless, anthemic songs, when you play it you'll be surprised at how many people are singing along!

My Chemical Romance - Teenager chords

This is my first post of a song by New Jersey band "My Chemical Romance". They've been around since 2001, but have been kinda on the fringe of my musical taste. But "Teenagers", their latest from the much-acclaimed 2006 album "The Black Parade", has a real 'Rock Anthem' feel about it, and I felt I had to give it a go and add it to the collection of over 1,600 songs now on my guitar chords website . My interpretation of "Teenagers" is at the link below:

Amy Winehouse - Love is a Losing Game

This is my fourth Amy Winehouse song, having previously posted 'Rehab', 'You Know I'm no Good', and 'Back to Black', all from the brilliant 'Back to Black' album.

Have to admit that I was on the fence after hearing 'Rehab', but the girl has definitely got soul. I watched TV coverage of her performance at the Glastonbury Festival, and it blew me away, particularly her rendition of 'Love is a Losing Game'. ( Although the cover of The Special's 'Monkey Man' was also superb!! ).

So... I've worked out my interpretation of the song, and added it to my Soul/R&B song chords page, please check out the link below:

NOTE: All Amy Winehouse songs have been relocated on my Amy Winehouse guitar chords and lyrics page.

Joshua Radin - Closer ( from Scrubs )

Once again, 'Scrubs' re-runs have nudged me toward another good song, this time "Closer" by Josh Radin. I believe it has also featured in 'Greys Anatomy'.

Anywaze, I've worked on it, and my interpretation is now on my Pop Songs guitar chords page ( link below )

PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Pop Songs, Joshua Radin "Closer"

I hadn't heard of Josh before, but it's a really nice singer-songwriter-y kinda song. I checked out his Wikipedia page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Radin, it seems he's been around a few years.
Check out the Joshua Radin MySpace page, where you can listen to "Closer" and 3 of his other songs, check out his official website at JoshuaRadin.com

Paul McCartney - Dance Tonight chords

I suppose it couldn't by any stretch be called a classic song from a former Beatle, but "Dance Tonight" from Paul's new "Memory Almost Full" album is an extremely playable and fun song to do on guitar, as well as mandolin, and with just a few chords, very suitable for early learners, so I have worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics and posted them to my Beatles page ( link below )

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

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

Ordinary Day - Dolores O'Riordan

All Cranberries fans will be delighted to see that former lead singer and song writer Dolores O'Riordan has released her solo album "Are You Listening", her first recording since the Cranberries last album "Wake up and smell the Coffee" in 2001 ( although she has been involved in several projects in the meantime ).

I have worked out my ( simplified ) interpretation of the chords and lyrics for her new single "Ordinary Day", which you can find on my Cranberries Song chords page:

Release Me - Oh Laura ( Saab Ad )

I found myself humming this song, and couldn't figure out for an age where it was coming from - but it's the song for the new Saab ad, "Release Me" by Swedish Band 'Oh Laura'.

Really catchy song, best suited for femal vocals, but I worked out a playable version, which I've posted on my Pop Guitar Song chords page: www.guitarsongs.info/pop.htm . The song is actually in A major, but I think it sounds better played in E, with the capo on 5th fret to bring it up to A, which allows for a nice E-F# riff. Check it out at the link below, I hope you'll enjoy it!
