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!

The Frames - "Plateau" chords and lyrics

The Frames are a band I frequently come back to, both to listen to, and to work out songs to play. A prolific band ( 10 albums in the past 12 years and still going strong ), there are a great selection of songs to choose from.

I've been listening to the 'Dance the Devil' album mostly of late, and have already included "Star Star" and "Neath the Beeches" from this album on my Frames guitar songs page .

I've now worked out fairly playable chords and lyrics to "Plateau" which you can find on my guitar chords website at the link below:

Jason Mraz - "I'm yours" chords and lyrics

I must have been on another planet for the past few years - I only became aware of Jason Mraz when I installed a new search option on my blog, and checking the stats found that this song is the most searched for by a mile, ahead of even the Kings of Leon "Use Somebody" and Greenday "21 Guns" (both of which I have already posted on my site).

Jason Mraz has been around for several years, so I have a lot of catching up to do, but I figured I'd better have a listen to "I'm Yours", when so many guitarists obviously want to play the song.

It's a great little song, with a reggae/calypso beat, reminded me a lot of some of Jack Johnson's songs. It's fun and easy to play too - it's actually in the key of B major, with chords B, F#, G#m, and E, with a C#7 thrown in once or twice, but putting the capo on the 2nd fret, I was able to transpose it to A, so the chords are a much easier set - A, E, F#m, D, with the occasional B7.

I've posted my version of the chords and lyrics to "Jason Mraz - I'm Yours" to my Pop Guitar Songs page, at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.

Five for Fighting - Easy Tonight chords and lyrics

I have to admit that Five for Fighting ( stage name of US singer-songwriter John Ondrasik ) largely passed me by. I know that Superman (It's not easy) was a hit from the 2000 album "America Town" ( mental note to add this one to my 'to do' list )

But I heard "Easy Tonight" while watching an episode of the TV show Scrubs, and remembered it as one of the 'ones that got away' - I know I had it on my list at the time, but it somehow slipped through the net.

So, somewhat belatedly, I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics, and added them to my website at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics to "Easy Tonight" by Five for Fighting.

Colbie Caillat - Fallin' For You chords and lyrics

I accepted a MySpace friend request from Colbie Caillat about three & a half years ago. I promote my chords and lyrics website on my MySpace account, so I get a lot of friend requests from bands and artists.

She was an unsigned artist then, but had already had a huge number of listeners to the songs featured on her MySpace page. She has a great voice, and the songs even back then were polished and professional, so I was telling anyone who would listen that she was going to be 'BIG!'.

I've posted chords and lyrics for the brilliant "Bubbly", which had over 22 million plays on her MySpace page before taking the US charts by storm and hitting the #1 single spot in May 2007, and also chords and lyrics for "Realize", which was also a top 20 hit from the debut album "Coco".


I have now worked out my interpretation of her latest single "Fallin' for You", released in June 2009, and which went straight into the US charts at #12. Still puzzling as to why this success isn't mirrored in the UK and Europe, maybe it's just a matter of time.

For those who are familiar with these songs, and would like to attempt playing them, I have worked out fairly easy to play versions which you can reach at the links below:

Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly" chords and lyrics.

Colbie Caillat - "Realize" chords and lyrics.

Colbie Caillat - "Fallin' For You" chords and lyrics.


If you're not familiar with the songs, you can check them out at these links:

Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly" on YouTube.

Colbie Caillat - "Realize" on YouTube.

Colbie Caillat - "Fallin For You" on YouTube.

You can buy her great new album "Breakthrough", or 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!!!

P.S. - In case you're wondering, my latest tip for the next band to make it big via MySpace is a Canadian rock band recently re-invented as "Moeraes Fate" and previously known as "Dame", now gigging and recording as "Moeraes Fate" - check out their new & old MySpace pages at http://www.myspace.com/moeraesfateband and http://www.myspace.com/dameband Moeraes Fate are a fantastic 3 piece all-girl rock band who are destined for greatness. You heard it here first!

Pearl Jam - The Fixer chords and lyrics

I guess some bands just pass ya by! Unbelievably "The Fixer", from the new "Backspacer" album is the first Pearl Jam song I've worked out and posted to my chords and lyrics site.

It wasn't that I didn't like the band - I particularly liked "Jeremy", "Black", "Daughter" and "Animal" from the early albums - I think I just didn't see them as songs for acoustic guitarists or for early learners.

But "The Fixer" is a good rock song, and very playable even if you're a begginner to intermediate player. The intro and riff are just major chords - B, D, G, and E; the rest of the song, verse and chorus, consists of G, Em, D, Bm. There is a bridge with chords: C Eb Bm A, but that's pretty much it!


I've added my chords and lyrics version of "The Fixer" to my Rock guitar songs page at the link below:

The Eels 'That Look You Give That Guy' chords & lyrics

I'd almost forgotten about The Eels - the last song of theirs I worked out and added to the site was "Last Stop This Town" from their 1998 album "Electro-Shock Blues".

Recently heard the single "That Look you give that guy" from their new album "Hombre Lobo" and have just worked out a chords & lyrics version of this, and added it to my Rock guitar songs page at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "That Look You Give That Guy" by The Eels.

The chords might look tricky for beginners, but are straightforward enough - C, C/B, Bb, A, Dm, Dm/C and G, repeated thru all verses and chorus. The C/B is just x2x010, and Dm/C is xx3x21.

Lady Lenka - The Show chords and lyrics

This is another one of those really good songs I first heard on a TV advert, though I can't actually remember what the ad was for! Took me a while to locate it, as I thought it was called "Caught in the middle", but a search on the always reliable Wikipedia set me straight.

It's just a really nice bubbly pop song, easy to play, and one I can imagine many people would enjoy playing.

The chords are very straightforward - C, G, Am and F, and there is an infectious dum-de-dum ending part, that your audience are bound to sing along to!

I've posted my version of the chords and lyrics to "The Show" to my Pop Guitar Songs page, at the link below:

Iron and Wine - Arms of a Thief chords and Lyrics

I have already posted three Iron & Wine songs - "Flightless Bird, American Mouth", "Passing Afternoon" and "16 Maybe Less" to my chords and lyrics website, having been introduced to their music by my lovely daughters.

The more I listen to Sam Beam's voice, the more I like it, so I hope to continue to add more of their songs, beginning with "Arms of a Thief", from their "Around The Well" album, which I've just added to the Rock guitar songs page of my site.

The song is in the key of Eb, but I've transcribed it to D, which makes for a much easier set of chords - Em, D and C - doesn't get much easier than that! If you put a capo on the 1st fret, you can play along with the song, you'll be in the right key.


Check out my chords & lyrics version of "Arms of a Thief" on my Rock Guitar song chords page at the link below:

Greenday - "21 Guns" chords and lyrics

Greenday were the one of the bands who got me back into listening to music again in the 90s, with their punchy songs and anthemic choruses.

I wasn't a huge fan of their "American Idiot" album, although I did post the chords and lyrics for the title song plus "Holiday", "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" to my Greenday song chords page - just one of those albums with a few gems, and some fairly forgettable songs.

Their latest album, "21st Century Breakdown", although again it's a "Rock Opera", I think it's overall a better collection of songs, I hope to work out a bunch of playable versions over the next few weeks.

For the moment I have transcribed and added "21 Guns" to my Greenday guitar chords site page. The chords are not too tricky, being Dm, A# (Bb), F and C, with a D thrown into the chorus and an A# minor ( Bb minor) appearing in the bridge. It's quite a slow tempo song, so even early learners get a chance to make the chord changes in time!

You can find "21 Guns" on my Guitar Chords & Lyrics website, on the Greenday page.




If the embedded video above doesn't play correctly, you can check it out on this YouTube - Greenday 21 Guns link.


BTW - If you are a wannabe lead guitar player, you really should check out James Todd's Guitar Leads website, it is a really excellent resource for guitarists of all levels to acquire or improve their lead guitar playing skills.

Arcade Fire - Wake Up chords and lyrics

This is actually a blog post for a song which has been on my site for some time.

I haven't listened nearly enough to Arcade Fire, I don't even have any good excuses.

But, to be honest, the main reason I'm highlighting the song today is that my nephew created a short video of my beautiful daughter's wedding ceremony, with this song as the background track, so as a proud father, it now has new meaning for me. It is also a really great and fun song to learn and to play.



My chords and lyrics version of the song is on my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below:

PJ's Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Miscellaneous Rock Songs

And you can play along with the song by playing the video below. Obviously I'd rather you gave the clip a run through first, if only to see why I've done the proud father thing - also thought my nephew did a first class job catching the moments, the little glances and the general happiness of bride, groom and everyone present.

But, of course, if you just want to learn the song, that's good too!



If the embedded video doesn't play, you can find the YouTube version at Arcade Fire "Wake Up" - Nycola and Marc's wedding

Aqualung - Breaking My Heart guitar chords and lyrics

This is my third post of an Aqualung song, following earlier transcriptions of "Brighter Than Sunshine" and "Strange and Beautiful". Aqualung is the stage name of singer-songwriter Matthew Hales, who really only hit public prominence when "Strange and Beautiful" featured as the song for the VW Beetle TV ad, and went on to be a UK top 10 hit.

If you're not familiar with Aqualung, check out their songs on YouTube, if you like 'em, see if my interpretations are useful in helping you to play the songs.

Modest Mouse - Blame it on the Tetons chords & lyrics

Just posted my second Modest Mouse song! It was last September that I worked out and posted the anthemic "Good Times are killing me". I had meant to take more time to listen to their stuff, particularly with Johnny Marr as the guitar player on their later stuff.

"Blame it on the Tetons" is also from the "Good news for people who love bad news" album. Early learners shouldn't be put off by the first chord - Dadd11 - it's really just a D major chord with the 3rd string left open, and the 6th string muted ( usually with your thumb ).

Other than that the chords are playable enough - G, C, D, Cmaj7, and Am. There is a little riff on the C chord which just involves removing and adding the index finger ( kinda slow 'hammer-off', 'hammer-on' ). I could have expressed this as C-Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7, but I've just used C*, with an explanation of the riff at the start of the transcription.

You can check out my version of "Blame it on the Tetons" at the link below:

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots#1

23rd July 06:

Added the wonderful and quirky "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots #1", by Oklahoma psychedelic alternative Rock Band, The Flaming Lips. Very playable, but interesting sequence of guitar chords, and even without the 'interesting noises' on the original, sounds pretty cool just played on an acoustic or electric guitar. Click on the link below to check it out:

Also just added chords and lyrics for Bob Dylan's song "Dirge", from the much underrated "Planet Waves" album - can't believe I didn't already have this one, I've played it often enough! Check out the link below:

Wilco "Summer Teeth" guitar chords and lyrics

Looking forward immensely to hearing the new Wilco album ( imaginatively titled "Wilco, the album"...!), their first since 'Sky Blue Sky', and by all accounts a class collection of songs.

Meantime, I'm listening to my back catalogue, and have picked "Summerteeth" from the 1999 album of the same name, to work out chords and lyrics, and add to my site.

A bit tricky for the early learner, as it's in the key of E, with the main chords being E, C#m, F# and A. Here I would often suggest transposing to an easier key, say C major, where these chords would become C, Am, D and F - but... the final part of the song switches to the key of G major, so the transposition would bring this part to Eb major - even more difficult chords to manage.

If you really like the song, it's worth while going to the effort of learning and practicing the chords you're not too familiar with - this is something I would always advocate for early learners - it's a carrot & stick approach to making sure you continue to improve!

You can find my chords and lyrics interpretation of "Summer Teeth" on my Wilco page (below):

Rod Stewart - In a Broken Dream ( Python Lee Jackson )

Every now and again I hear a song on the radio that I used to play years ago, but haven't played in a long time. So I get my guitar out, and, as I've usually forgotten some if not all of the lyrics ( chords too! ), I go to the artist page on my site, or use the search option at the top of each page, find the song - sorted! Sometimes I will add it to my current repertoire (abbatoir??!) of songs, sometimes it won't get played again for a while.

And sometimes I discover that I never actually got around to posting the song, even though when I first created my chords and lyrics site, I thought I had transcribed every song from every notebook, scrap of paper etc.

But... it's all good, as well as revisiting the song myself, I get a chance to feature it on my site, on the artist page and on the updates(new songs) page. For some it will be a treasure, as many of these songs can't be found elsewhere, for others a chance to listen to and learn a really good 'blast from the past'.

In this instance the song is "In a Broken Dream" by Python Lee Jackson. "Python who?" I hear you ask. Well, if you run a Wikipedia search for the band you'll find out that they were a 60's Australian band, and a whole lot more, but from my perspective, when I was a big Rod Stewart and the Faces fan, this song, on which he guested as singer, was re-released somewhere between The Faces "Stay with Me" and Rod's solo classic "Maggie May", and was probably the most played jukebox song of my youth.

It's a classic rock/blues song, and Rod's vocals fit like a glove.

I've made good my omission, and added the song to my Rod Stewart guitar chords and lyrics page, at the link below:

Leonard Cohen - Democracy chords & lyrics

I wasn't fortunate enough to catch Leonard Cohen on his recent European tour, but watched a one hour extract on BBC TV from the London performance. At 74 years of age, he has lost nothing of his stage presence, and still has the voice of a Holy Man. Considering he has over 40 years of back-catalogue to choose from, I thought the song selections were spot-on, from Suzanne thru the best songs from "Various Positions" and "I'm Your Man" to his more recent works.

I was already conscious that I hadn't added to my own collections of Cohen chords and lyrics for some time, so I've worked out the chords to "Democracy" from the 1992 "The Future" album, and posted them to my Leonard Cohen songs page, at the link below:

Moeraes Fate ( was Dame ) - Listen and vote for the future of rock!

Ok, I have a small favour to ask. It will take a few minutes of your time, but I think it will be an enjoyable experience. It involves listening to a great new band called Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ). NOTE 29 Sept 09 - Dame have been re-invented as Moraes Fate, are about to release a new EP, and you can follow their fortunes at Moeraes Fate on Facebook

Because of my song chords website, I've been involved in pretty much all of the social media sites for several years now. Needless to say, most of my Myspace and Facebook 'friends' are bands and artists - 'birds of a feather' and all that. Which is great, because I get to listen to new bands and keep my finger on the pulse of new music.

Back in November 2007 I created a blog post here extolling the virtues of Dame ( now Moeraes Fate ) - a band from the Toronto area, who are still the best new band I've heard on any of the music community websites I subscribe to. Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ) are a trio of young ladies who belt out some of the best rock sounds I've heard in years. Which is astonishing when you realise that none of them are over 18. They have won numerous competitions for bands in the Toronto, Canada area, and are my tip to join artists like Colbie Caillat and The Fleet Foxes ( both of whom I had previously supported and promoted ) in the transition from MySpace to the recording studio and international recognition.

What I would ask of you is to visit the voting site on YouDiscover and vote for Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ). You'll find two of their live videos, and two songs on audio here, but I would suggest that you also visit the Moeraes Fate ( formerly Dame ) MySpace page to get the bigger picture - some of their earlier songs, Cyclops, Intervention and Hey Angel show off their lead singer Katee's bass guitar skills, as well as her kickass vocals, alternately sweetly seductive and in-your-face goddamn scary! This is a live acoustic version of one of their new songs "Making of the new me":



Add this to Ali's aggressive-blues licks, and Kayla's mission to beat the crap outta that drumkit ( in the best possible way! ) and you have a rock band which I'm convinced will punch their way to the mainstream, and really soon.

I know you will have received requests to listen to dozens of new bands, but please visit YouDiscover , listen, enjoy and VOTE FOR DAME! You know it makes sense - don't make me tell you in a few months that "I told you so...!"

Thanks for your attention, I'll be posting more song chords and lyrics really soon!

Enjoy your music,

PJ

Bob Dylan - I feel a change comin' on chords & lyrics

Although I've been a huge Dylan fan for many years, I must admit that I haven't given much attention to his later works.

But his latest album - Together Through Life is very listenable, very likeable. Ok, lyrically I guess I'll have to accept that we won't be getting the gorgeously intricate and metaphoric lyrics of past days, but he still manages to get some wry observations on life ( "Dreams never did work for me anyway, even when they did come true" ... )

I've worked out the chords and lyrics for "I feel a change comin' on", and posted them to my Dylan chords and lyrics page at the link below:

Paolo Nutini - "Candy" guitar chords and lyrics

I had previously posted just one Paolo Nutini song - "New Shoes" from the "These Streets" album, have now worked out and posted the new single, Candy.

It's a very simple song to play, with just 4 chords - A, Em, G, D7 comprising the verses and chorus, and with a C chord thrown in for the outro chord sequence.

My interpretation of the song chords and lyrics for "Candy" is on my Pop Songs page at the link below:

B'ehl - I'm sorry for being such a Crappy Friend

There are so many idiosyncrasies around this song, it's hard to know where to start!

It's a first, in that I've never posted a B'ehl song before. Actually, if I'm completely honest, I'd never heard of B'ehl before.

It definitely wins the prize for best song title on this blog....

And, while it's quite an easy song to play, and didn't take terribly long to work out, it definitely gets the #1 spot for 'longest time spent researching the background for a song on this blog'.

When I heard this song first, as so often these days on one of my daughters' MP3 players, I thought it was by The Sundays - the vocals sounded just like Harriet Wheeler at her best. But the title on the MP3 said "Bright Eyes - I'm sorry for being such a crappy friend", so I was all set to post it as a Bright Eyes song ( I had already posted their "First day of my life" to my Rock Song Chords page ).

But... it didn't sound like anything I'd heard from Bright Eyes, so I started my Google journey for the truth behind the song.

A search for the song name gave confusing results, suggesting it was... Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley, Commander Venus (Bright Eyes precursor), and, finally B'ehl. When I clicked on the first few results, the name B'ehl seemed to be a common link, so I tried to find them on Wikipedia. For the first time ever, I came up with a blank. Then I just searched CDUniverse for B'ehl, and discovered a 2003 album of theirs titled.... "Bright Eyes"! End of confusion!.

Apologies for the ramble, but I've been working out guitar chords and lyrics for songs for over ten years now, and this was certainly the most troublesome. But well worth it, I really love the song, and I've posted my version of the chords and lyrics to my Pop Guitar Songs page, at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "I'm Sorry for being such a Crappy Friend" by B'ehl.


If the video doesn't load below, click here to watch it on YouTube




I couldn't find an official B'ehl website, best I could do was this page at Last.fm, but their music can be browsed or bought online at the link below:

Snow Patrol "Take back the city" chords and lyrics

Love to play Snow Patrol songs on my guitar, so I was delighted to hear they're releasing a new album "A Hundred Million Suns" last month, I've only had a quick 'listen-thru', but it sounds great, and I'm hoping I'll be able to work out playable versions of some of the songs.

I've got the ball rolling with the new single "Take back the city". If you're an early learner you may be put off by the number of 'sus' chords throughout the song, but I have provided the diagrams for these chords at the beginning of the song - once you get familiar with the shapes and can get into the rhythm with which they carry the verses along, you'll be fine!

I've posted the song to my Snow Patrol Song Chords page, please feel free to check it out.

Iron & Wine - 16, maybe less chords and lyrics

I posted my first Iron & Wine songs in May ( "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" and "Passing Afternoon" ) having just recently started to listen to the band.

I've liked everything I've heard so far, so I plan to keep listening, and working out playable versions of their songs, beginning this month with "Sixteen, maybe less" from their joint venture with Calexico, "In the Reins".

The chords are pretty simple, just D, Bm, G and A - although I have transcribed to C, Am, F and G, with capo on the 2nd fret. I suspect this is how the original was played, as there are nice little runs between the C and Am, that lend the song to being played in the key of C.



You can check out my chords and lyrics interpretation of "16, Maybe Less" on my Rock Guitar song chords page at the link below:

The Shins - Sea Legs chords & lyrics

My last Shins post was "Strange Powers", which actually didn't feature on "Wincing The Night Away", but was the B side of this song, "Sea Legs", the 4th single from that album.

As with almost all of the Shins songs, the quirky intricacies of the lyrics and melodies suggest that they would be hard songs to play, but again, this song has only 4 chords - G, D, A# ( Bb) and F. The rhythm of the chords sometimes seems to go counter to the melody, but it just takes a little getting used to!

You can find my version of The Shins "Sea Legs" on my guitar chords website at the link below:

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal chords and lyrics

The Fleet Foxes ( another debutant band for my site ) are one of the new breed of 'Social Web' artists who, like Colbie Caillet, rose to prominence principally through the exposure of their music on their MySpace page, culiminating in the release of their debut album "Fleet Foxes" last year.

Missing songs from Chordie

Those of you who regularly use Chordie will have seen frequent messages for several songs indicating that "The person hosting these songs has asked them to be removed from the Chordie index"

Apologies, but I am that person! I'm sorry if you've been frustrated by seeing these messages instead of your requested song chords, but permission was never given to Chordie to use these songs, and they have graciously removed them at my request.

I would have preferred if they had instead replaced their pages with links to my original transcriptions, but this was unfortunately not possible.

Anywaze, you can find all 1,800 of 'em at PJ's Guitar Chords and Lyrics - http://www.guitarsongs.info/. Or just search for PJs Chords.

While there are many 'warehouse' song chord and tab sites out there, my site is based on accurate chord interpretations of an eclectic selection of my favourite songs and artists from the 60's right up to songs in the current charts.

~~~~

P.S. I've received one post from a Chordie fan which was 'less than complimentary'. Just want to say that this post was not to 'diss' Chordie in any way, it is an excellent site, and I have had a great working relationship with Per & Co for many years. But 'an unexpected error occurred', resulting in all of my efforts of 10 years being subsumed into the Chordie 'engine'. Per has corrected this, but has left the links pointing to an apology. I'm just trying to make sure people who have reached these pages know that the songs have not just disappeared, and let them know where to find them.

Ok J??

Midlake - "Roscoe" guitar chords and lyrics

Another 'debut' band for my site! Not that Midlake are a new band ( formed in 1999, according to the ever-reliable Wikipedia ). Hailing from Texas, they list Radiohead, Jethro Tull, Grandaddy and Travis amongst their influences, which was good enough for me to give them a listen.

I liked what I heard too. I could hear the 'Tull influences in "Roscoe", but also, I thought, a hint of the Shins in the vocals and the melody.

The song has a nice gentle flow to it, and with just three chords, is pretty playable, although the chords of G#m, F# and E might be a bit daunting to early learners. If you are among this group, you should learn to transpose songs like this to an easier key, and use your capo ( if necessary ) to bring the song pitch up to the original key.

In this case I would replace the G#m, F# and E with Em, D and C ( in that order ) and put a capo on the 4th fret, so that you're playing Em shape, but actually playing a G#m chord. Check out my beginners guide to chord transposition, you will hopefully find it useful!

I have uploaded my interpretation of Midlake's "Roscoe" to my rock guitar songs page at the link below:

Bat for Lashes - "Daniel" guitar chords and Lyrics

I had been aware of "Bat for Lashes" for quite a while, they'd played Glastonbury in 2007, won the ASCAP Vanguard award the same year, toured with Radiohead and was nominated for two Brit Awards last year, but I only heard them for the first time on "Later with Jools Holland" on BBC TV, singing "Daniel". Either they aren't getting the radio coverage they deserve, or I'm not listening to enough radio!

I think they are a great band, and this is a great song! Just checking out Wikipedia's page for the band, comparisons have been made with Bjork, PJ Harvey, Annie Lennox, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Stevie Nicks and Dolores O'Riordan. Not bad company to be keeping!

The song itself is really melodic and moves along at a nice pace. The version I heard was in the key of E / G#m, but I've transcribed it to G / Em, which means the chords are a more playable set of Em, G, C, Am. These are repeated throughout both verse and chorus, making it a really easy song to learn and play. Just put your capo on the 4th fret and play the 'G' chords as indicated, and you will be able to play along with the 'real' version in E major / G minor.


I've posted my version of the song to my Pop Guitar Songs page at the link below:

Wilco - 'My Darling' guitar chords and lyrics

So far I've mainly been working out and including Wilco songs from "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", this having been the album which ( somewhat belatedly ) got me hooked.

The plan was to move forward thru the newer albums, but I don't make any apologies for now including the gorgeous "My Darling", from the even earlier "Summerteeth Album".

My musical taste for anything post-1990 has been mainly informed by my gorgeous daughters, who are both Wilco fans, and "My Darling" is a really beautiful song from a parent to their child, which I'd like to dedicate to them. I know, I know, you didn't have me pegged as the schmaltzy type - it's a Father thing.... But it is a lovely, simple song, with pretty basic guitar chords - C, Em, D, G, F.

You can find my chords and lyrics interpretation of "My Darling" on my Wilco page (below):

Wilco - "My Darling" song chords and lyrics


Check out the songs on YouTube, hopefully these interpretations can help you play along with the songs while learning them.
