Muse "Uprising" guitar chords and lyrics

Strangely enough, this is the first song I've posted from Devon's finest alternative rockers Muse. I guess I didn't really see them as a 'guitar band', or at least thought their songs weren't suited to early learners and acoustic players. Their earlier stuff sounded very close to Radiohead ( not that that's a bad thing! ), but on their newer songs, particularly the 2009 album Resistance, from which Uprising is taken, they have most certainly stamped their own sound.

Uprising can sound fine without the synth effects, and has only 4 chords - Dm, Gm, F and A, so should be within the grasp of most early learning guitarists.

I've worked out chords for "Uprising" for my Rock songs chords page, you can find it at the link below:

QOTSA - Make it Wit Chu chords and lyrics

This is my first attempt at 'chording' a Queens of the Stone Age song. "Make it wit chu is the 3rd single from their most recent album Era Vulgaris.

It's quite playable on acoustic, and only features the chords C, A, A7 and E, so you should be able to pick it up quite quickly

I've transcribed my 'simplified' version of the song, and posted it to my Rock song chords page at the link below:

The Fratellis - Mistress Mabel chords and lyrics

I suppose it's inevitable, when you are bowled over by a band's debut album, that it can take a while to warm to the second one. I've only had a chance to have a couple of play's of the Fratellis "Here we Stand", the songs are great, but I kinda feel that Jon has toned down his raw, manic vocals just a bit. In fairness, I need to listen to the album a few more times.

Nothing wrong with the first single from the album. "Mistress Mabel" stands up there with the best from "Costello Music".

I've worked out my 'chords & lyrics' version of the song, and added it to my Fratellis song chords page:

The Fratellis guitar chords and lyrics

The song is in the key of B, and I had originally intended to transcribe it to A or G, and advise using capo on 2nd or 4th fret. But it's just meant to be played in B, doesn't sound nearly the same otherwise. Most of the song is covered by B, E, E7 and F#, so it's a great song to practice playing the B major chord, which I know many early learners tend to avoid like the plague!

If you do find it daunting, you can try using the capo on the 2nd fret and playing:

Verse: A D (x4)
A D7 (x2)
A D (x2)

Pre-chorus: D E (x2)

Chorus: A E (x2) D C D






If you haven't already got this album you can buy it online at this CD Universe Fratellis music link - "Costello Music" is also available there.

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:
