Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof chords and lyrics

Vampire Weekend are another of the new bands I've taken a shine to, although I've only had a few listens to their debut "Vampire Weekend" album, released earlier this year.

Hard to put a label on the band, lot of influences, certainly an African flavour, and there are hints of the Shins and a few other 'Indie Rock' ( yet another expression that has been virtually rendered meaningless by overuse! ) bands.

My interpretation of the guitar chords and lyrics for the first single from the album "Mansard Roof" are available at the link below:

The Kooks 'Seaside' chords and lyrics

I recently posted "Always where I need to be" from the new Kooks album "Konk" - and hopefully will be working out some more songs from this excellent 2nd album.

But... I received a request ( or possibly a reprimand ) from one of my visitors, who asked in my Guestbook if I could post a "simple" version of "Seaside", the first track from their debut album "Inside in/Inside Out'.

When I listened to the song again, I could see what he meant - it was in the key of E flat minor ( well, actually F sharp major but let's not get hung up on detail! ), which doesn't lend itself to handy chords for the learning guitarist to get around.

So I transposed the chords down to B minor ( A major ), which produced a set of chords ( Bm, D, G, A, E ) which most early learners could get their fingers around, and posted it to PJs free Guitar Chords site at the link below:

It's a short, cute little summer song, check it out here on Youtube and see if you can play along. If you put a capo on the 4th fret, and play the chords indicated, you should find that you're in the right key.

You can buy all of the Kooks music at CDUniverse - The Kooks Music page

The Kooks official site can be found at http://www.thekooks.co.uk/ and their MySpace page is at http://www.myspace.com/thekooks

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 Song chords page at the link below:

UPDATE 12 OCT 2009. This song, along with the other Wilco songs I've worked out, is now on my Wilco guitar chords and lyrics page. PJ

Scissor Sisters - I don't feel like Dancing

Whatever it is about the Scissor Sisters, it's always hard to find anyone who admits they might be cool, but everytime they release a single, it's the most requested song I get!!

Took me a while to exorcise the whole ghost of the 'Bee Gees' that haunts the new one, but, in the end, it's just a good-time song you can have a lot of fun playing on guitar, so I've posted it to my 'Pop Songs' page:

My 10 Million Visitor competition is now over - to see if you've won, check out the winners page:

There are a lot of guitar lessons sites and programs out there, but I've discovered a really great resource for the 'Beginner' to 'Intermediate' guitar player, which doesn't assume any previous musical knowledge or skills, but takes you through all of the early stages of the learning process, and brings you along at a pace that traditional guitar lessons could never match.


Enjoy your music!

America - Razorlight guitar chords and lyrics

London's Razorlight have been blazing the charts and making the world sit up and notice over the past year or so. I'd have to say I thought 'In the Morning' was a more typical, bouncy rock song than 'America', their latest single, but it's a good song nonetheless, and I've added my version of the chords and lyrics to my 'Razorlight easy songs for guitars' page:
