Dresden Dolls - Jeep Song chords & lyrics

The Dresden Dolls, who describe themselves as "Brechtian Punk Cabaret" ( can't argue with that! ) were first burned into my consciousness when a friend played me "Coin Operated Boy" a few years ago. I loved the sound, Amanda Palmer's almost Waits-ian singing style is superb. I posted the chords and lyrics to "Coin Operated Boy" back in June 2005 and can't believe that I didn't follow up with more.

I'm rectifying the omission now, I've posted my interpretation of "Jeep Song", which is also from their eponymous first album to my Rock Guitar Chords page at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to 'Jeep Song' by Dresden Dolls.

I hope to post more, though there is so much going on in many of the songs, they don't all lend themselves to just strumming on an old acoustic!


You can buy their music, from the original "Dresden Dolls" album to this years "No, Virginia" EP at the CD Universe Dresden Dolls music page

The official Dresden Dolls website is at http://www.dresdendolls.com/ and you can check out their MySpace page here: Dresden Dolls on MySpace



Enjoy your music!

Fratellis - Henrietta chords and lyrics

As I eagerly await the new Fratellis album "Here we Stand", I realised I hadn't included chords and lyrics for "Henrietta", the very first single from "Costello Music" ( which as regular readers will know is my favourite album from a new band for many, many years ). I had kinda held off 'cos it's one of those bouncy songs, with staccato bursts of chords, and in the key of B major. Basically the kind of song I'd have run a mile from when I was in the early learning stages.

But I've done my best with it, I transcribed it to A major ( you can put your capo on the 2nd fret if you want to play along with the song, or want to sing it in the right key ). This takes some of the sting out of it by removing some of the tricker chords - if you still have problems with the power chords (A5 etc. ) just play them as standard major chords.

So the staccato burst at the end of the pre-chorus lines could be changed from:

A5-G#5-G5-F#5   to

A-G#-G-F#

If you'r still struggling with the chord changes, just play
the A and the F# e.g.:

D          E             A         F#
Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out

... still gives you a 'buskable' version of the song.
Obviously for your own improvement, playing the tricky
parts is something you *should* do.  A song to revisit
when your range of  chords and speed of change have
improved, perhaps.  But it is a song to be enjoyed, so
you are excused if you want to take the simpler options
for now!
