Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind #2 guitar chords and lyrics

Hard to believe that it's over 2 years since I've posted a song by Alicia Keys! But it was indeed March '08 when I uploaded chords and lyrics for "Like you'll never see me again" to my Soul/R&B songs page.

When I heard the 'original' Empire State of Mind I had my usual rant: "Another good song ruined by taking a great soul vocal and letting some banal rapper take all the good out of it". So I was delighted to hear that Alicia released her own version, Empire State of Mind #2, and got right down to working out a playable version for guitar.

Easy enough chords, just E, Amaj7 ( x02120 ) and B. If you're still finding the B a bit tricky, I've given an alternate version with C, Fmaj7, E, putting a capo on the 6th fret.

I have worked out my version of the chords and lyrics for "Empire State of Mind #2" and added them to my Pop Songs guitar songs page at the link below:

Mumford and Sons "The Cave" Guitar chords and lyrics

This is the second song I've worked out from the recent and brilliant "Sigh no More" album by London's "indie/folk/rock" band Mumford and Sons.

"The Cave" is the 3rd single from the album, and (so far) my favourite song, with the deceptively quiet folksy opening building up to raucous anthemic choruses.

Once again, it's quite an easy song to play. I've tabbed the little riff around the D chord from the intro and at the start of each verse ( indicated as D* in the song transcription ). Other than that it is basically D, Bm, A and G chords covering the verses and the chorus.

Chords and Lyrics - Two Door Cinema Club "Something Good can work"

Just heard this song on the radio, although I gather the single has been around for a while. Hadn't heard of the band either, I have to confess - they're from Bangor in Northern Ireland. Their debut album "Tourist History", from which "Something Good Can Happen" is taken, was released in Europe earlier this year, and will shortly be released in the USA. I've just had a few listens, but it's really good, bright pop-rock, I hope to work out a few more of their songs soon.

Although there is fairly electronic mix on the single, it translates really well to guitar, chords are very straightforward - C, G, Am, Em and F - getting the rapid-fire lyrics to synchronize with your guitar playing is the tricky bit!


I have worked a playable version of "Something Good can Happen" and uploaded it to my Rock Songs guitar songs page at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics - Greenday "21st Century Breakdown"

Greenday have had some musical 'ups and downs' since releasing their first album "Smooth" in 1990, with subsequent albums being met with varying critical acclaim.

I have to admit to not being a big fan of "American Idiot", though I did work out and publish chords and lyrics for the title song and also "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 once again very much a "Themed Album" in the same style as "Idiot"m I think has a much better selection of punchy punk/rock songs.

I had already worked out my version of "21 Guns", and added it to my Greenday guitar chords site page. A little later than intended, I've now also worked out chords and lyrics for the latest single and title-track "21st Century Breakdown".

For early learners, or anyone who wants to play this on acoustic, the chords, while basic enough, could be a bit tricky ( C#, G#, F#, Bbm and G#/C ) While I've chorded the song using these chords, I've also worked out an easier set ( C, G, F, Am and C/B ( x2x010 ) - if you put a capo on the 1st fret using this set of chords you can still play along with the song.

I've posted both versions of "21st Century Breakdown" to my Guitar Chords & Lyrics website, on the Greenday page.




Play along with the video above, or on YouTube - Greenday 21st Century Breakdown"

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.

Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Mumford & Sons "Little Lion Man"

I've only recently had the pleasure of hearing "Sigh no More", the debut album from London "Indie/Folk" band, Mumford and Sons. Although they have been labelled Indie/Folk or Folk/Rock, there sound is unique, not really reminiscent of any of the Folk-Rock bands from the 60s and 70s.

Great melodies, and great lyrics performed on guitar, double bass, banjo and keyboards, this is just such a catchy song I had to learn it!

Easy chords too, Am, C, G, F, Fmaj7 ( x33210 ) - that's it, these chords cover verses and chorus.

Crosby Stills Nash and Young "Our House" chords and lyrics

Ok, probably one for the more 'mature' Blog visitor, but Crosby Stills and Nash are touring again, and a lot of their old songs are getting airplay. I know, it's not quite "rock'n'roll", but the song is just evocative of the whole "Peace and Love" era, I've always liked it, and it's a fun song to play, especially if you have a bunch of friends who can do the harmonies!

The chords are straightforward enough, G, G/F# ( 2x0003 ), Em, C, Am, D, Bm, Em7, with just an Eb (D#) thrown in at the end the verses for effect.

I've added my chords and lyrics version of CSNY's "Our House" to my Neil Young guitar songs page at the link below:

The Fratellis "Milk and Money" guitar chords

The second Fratellis album "Here we Stand" never quite got to me in the way that the debut album "Costello Music" did. Never sure why? I suppose when any band produces such a brilliant first album, topping it is always gonna be difficult.

But I have previously posted a couple of the gems to my Fratellis song chords page - "Look out Sunshine" and "Mistress Mabel", the first two singles from the album.

Just giving it a fresh listen, and the track that stood out this time was "Milk and Money", which has a lyrical ballady bit, and ends with the usual raucous rumpus you expect from Glasgow's finest.

I've worked out my interpretation of the chords and lyrics of "Milk and Money", and added it to my Fratellis song chords page:

The Fratellis guitar chords and lyrics - Milk and Money

Chords are quite playable, even for 'newbie' players, with the verse consisting of C Am Dm G, and the Chorus having C C7 F Fm. Even the frenetic bit at the end ( which you might wanna avoid if your playing on acoustic ) only uses chords Am G F and Em - but the chord changes can be hard to catch just right!

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:

Ben Harper - "Faithfully Remain" chords & lyrics

Another 'debut' artist on my website, and yet another song that I first heard in an episode of "House MD".

"Faithfully Remain", by Ben Harper and Relentless Seven, is a great song on the 2009 album "White Lies for Dark Times", and showcases Harper's anguished vocals, superb guitar playing and songwriting skills.

Ben has been around for quite a while ( first album "Pleasure and Pain" released in 1992 ), so apologies to fans for not including any of his previous stuff, I'll certainly try to catch up on his work and work out some more of his songs for this Blog.

I've worked out chords for "Faithfully Remain" and posted them to my Pop songs guitar chords page at the link below:

Pop Guitar chords and lyrics to "Faithfully Remain" by Ben Harper and Relentless 7



Try playing along with the video above or at this Youtube link for Faithfully Remain

Chords are pretty easy to play, even for relative beginners, consisting of E, A, B and C#m. If you find these chords tricky, put a capo on the 2nd fret, and transpose down a full tone, so the chords will change as follows:

E -> D
A -> G
B -> A
C#m -> Bm

That should do it!

Ben (and Relentless 7) have a really feature-rich website at http://www.benharper.com/

Rory Gallagher "If the day was any longer" chords

I received a request for a Rory Gallagher song, from his days with Taste, the song being "If the day was any longer" from the 1970 "On the Boards" album.

While I do have a Rory Gallagher song chords page on my guitar chords and lyrics website, I don't have a great many Rory songs, as my site is primarily aimed at learning guitarists, and the songs are in simple chords and lyrics format, not usually suited to Rory's unique and complex sound.

When I played the song on YouTube however, I actually remembered it, and it's one of those gorgeous mellow bluesy ballads Rory used to play as part of the acoustic section of his gigs.

So I was able to work out a version just using chords E, E7, A, G and B7, which should make it playable for most learning guitarists.

I have posted the song to www.guitarsongs.info at the link below:


Rory Gallagher guitar chords - If the day was any longer



You should try playing along with the video above ( it's also on YouTube - Rory Gallager and Taste: If the Day was any Longer )

Marcy Playground "Sex and Candy" chords and lyrics

This is another song which I had worked out some years ago, but somehow forgot to add to my site - I only discovered this when moving my site to it's new location at www.guitarsongs.info a short while ago.

The song was actually a hit ( pretty much their only big hit ) back in 1997, but still stands the test of time as a great rock song. Although the band have been pretty quiet since then, they toured the US and Canada in 2009, promoting the upcoming release of 2 new albums, so... watch this space!

"Sex and Candy" is quite an easy song to play, with just A, F and E in the verse, and Am, F and G in the chorus.

I've added the song to my 'Rock Song Chords' page, at the link below:

~~~~~

I also wanted to let you know of a great event happening on Sunday 20th, on www.imagefm.ca, at 4pm Eastern Time, 9pm GMT. ( Check time for for your zone ).

Having joined MySpace and Facebook several years ago, I have hundreds of band on my friend lists. Of all of these, one Canadian band, "Dame", a progressive-power-pop female trio from Toronto really stood out and sparked my interest almost 2 years ago.

Back in August they won Canada's YouDiscover.ca Band of the Year, beating hundreds of really good bands along the way. Among their prizes were a recording contract, and a fabulous gig supporting Styx for a televised New Years Eve special from Niagara Falls.

In the course of the recording arrangements, there was a name change to "Moeraes Fate" ( Greek legend reference ).

So this Sunday you can watch the band play and celebrate the festive season at their Christmas Special on ImageFm.ca. I'm reliably informed they will be sticking to a Christmas theme, so there should be some fun and frolics.

I wouldn't normally stick my neck out, but I think these girls can be part of the future of Rock Music, which is in sad decline right now. You can check out samples of the songs from their new recording on their MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/moeraesfateband

Set your reminders! Start time is at 4pm Eastern Time, so adjust to your time zone accordingly - it will be 9pm here in Ireland (GMT).

See you there!

The Fray "Over My Head" chords & lyrics

Since the title track of their debut album "How to Save a Life", The Fray have continued to produce songs which are 'instant anthems'. "How to Save a Life" and "You Found Me" are two of the most downloaded songs from my website.

"Over My Head" (Cable Car) has the same timeless qualities, I've worked out a very playable of the song and added it to my Rock Song chords page at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "Over My Head (Cable Car)" by The Fray

It's a great and fun song for even the early learner to play. The chords are generally among the first chords every guitarist learns, G, C, D, Em, and Am, with an Em7 (022030) and G/F# (2x2030).

Play along with the video below:

John Mayer "Who Says" chords and lyrics

Unlike John Mayer's earlier songs from 'Room for Squares' and 'Heavier Things', or even the bluesy 'Continuum', where I had quite a bit of trouble working out 'easy-play' chords and lyrics versions, the new album 'Battle Studies' seems to have a few tracks which, without taking anything away from the original recording, can be quite easily played on acoustic by guitar players in the quite early learning stages.

"Who Says", the first single from the album comes into this category - I was able to work out a version (using Capo on 1st Fret), with just G D Em A Bm and F# ( ok, on the outro there are also Asus4 - 002230 and G/F# - 2x2003 ), but all-in-all a song that's fun to do, and pretty playable.

I've added it to the list of songs (16 now, from "Your body is a Wonderland" up to "Who Says") on my John Mayer page at the link below:

Foo Fighters "Wheels" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

The Foo Fighters seem to have been around forever! Actually, their first album "Foo Fighters" was released in 1995.

They recently released their "Greatest Hits" album, and as you listen to the songs again it's easy to see why they are one of the most respected and influential bands on the planet.

I already had ten chords & lyrics versions of their songs on my Foo Fighters guitar songs page, so I've now worked out my version of a previously unreleased track "Wheels" which was included on the new Greatest Hits album, you can check out the chords and lyrics at the link below. Only 4 chords repeated throughout - Dsus2, A, F#5 and E. If you're a learning guitarist and think these chords look too hard, well Dsus2 is just the D major chord with the first string open, and the F#5 can be played as just an F# major chord, with or without the barre.

Paolo Nutini "Pencil Full of Lead"

Paolo Nutini is certainly one of those artists who grows on you!

I had already posted chords & lyrics for "New Shoes", "Candy" and "Last Request", all of which showcased his serious talent as a musician in the "singer/songwriter" genre, with a great voice and songs falling somewhere between Pop and Rock.

"Pencil Full of Lead" is showing the lighter side of Paolo, it's a fun, rockabilly-style romp, the song, and video ( below ) reminded me more than anything of the re-release video version of Jackie Wilson's "Reet Petite".

I've worked out the chords and lyrics for "Pencil Full of Lead" ( it's a really easy song to learn, only requires chords D,G and A ) and posted them to my Pop Songs chords and lyrics at the link below

Van Morrison "Streets of Arklow" chords & lyrics

I had a very poignant request yesterday from Roscoe in Idaho, for this song. Roscoe has been fighting a long battle against cancer for some years, and takes great strength from listening to and playing music.

He particularly wanted to be able to play Van Morrison's "Streets of Arklow", from Van Morrison's 1974 "Veedon Fleece" album.

I did used to own the LP version of this great album, but it was one of many vinyl casualties of a house move some years ago.

I searched YouTube for an official version of the song with no luck, and my own recollection of the song was too vague to be sure of working out a reasonably accurate version.

So I owe a debt to 'Kefera' on YouTube, who had recorded a cover of the song, which on listening sounded true to the memory of the song I had in mind.

I worked out my chords & lyrics version based on this video, and have posted it to my Van Morrison guitar chords page, at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "Streets of Arklow" by Van Morrison"



Chords are as easy as you would wish - just C major and E minor, using hammer-on and -off on both chords for stronger effect. Play along with the great cover version of "Streets of Arklow" if you want to get the feel and rythm of the song just right.

I know you will join with me in wishing Roscoe success in his long-term battle against his illness, I hope there is truth in the power of combined prayer and well-wishing. I hope also that Roscoe doesn't mind that I have dedicated this post to him, and requested your combined wishes for his recovery. He is bearing his burden with strength and dignity, but I really hope that directing the positivity of the music community to his fight will be a force in aiding his recovery.



Enjoy your music, and let it be a source of strength to you, whatever your struggles may be.

The Smiths "Cemetry Gates" guitar chords & lyrics

"The Queen is Dead" is widely recognized as the finest Smiths album, it's certainly my favourite!

The Smiths were one of very few bands and artists - Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Madness, Nirvana - who sustained me through the 80's. Morrissey's quirky lyrics and compelling voice and Johnny Marr's acrobatic guitar playing were a real breath of fresh air.

I've already posted a few of the songs from the album to my Smiths guitar chords page, including "Frankly Mr. Shankly", "Bigmouth", "There is a light that never goes out" (great, great song!), I've now added "Cemetry Gates" (original spelling) to the list.

Quite easy chords (for The Smiths!) - just G, C, D, Em and Bm, with a Gmaj7 thrown in for the opening and closing riffs. Obviously you're not gonna recreate the Smiths sound just playing chords, but you can still have a lot of fun with this song. Check out the chords and lyrics at the link below:

Semisonic "(It's) Closing Time" guitar chords & lyrics

Heard this one on the radio recently - I remembered the song but couldn't be sure who was singing it.

So I searched around, and the first information I got was that it was Greenday. I searched YouTube, and sure enough it came up as a Greenday song. I worked out the chords and lyrics, and posted them to my Greenday guitar chords page.

But, I was pretty sure that it wasn't Billie Joe Armstrong singing the song, even tho' the overall song structure was very 'Greenday-like', rock ballad chords building up to crunchy power chords. Searched again and found an equal number of 'yes it is / no it isn't Greenday', or it's a Greenday cover of a Semisonic Song, or it's Dan Wilson doing guest vocals for Greenday.

I've always found Wikipedia to be pretty reliable in these matters: "'Closing Time' is a song by Semisonic from their album Feeling Strangely Fine. It is sometimes misattributed to Green Day".

From the guitarists point of view, it's just a great song to learn and play. For the non-believers, I've left on on my Greenday song chords page, but have now added it to my Rock songs guitar chords page, at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics for 'Closing Time' by Semisonic Chords are nice & simple, just G, D, Am, C throughout, with an A major and a Dsus2 ( x00230 ) as the bridge.



I always recommend that you play along with the song (above) or on the YouTube video

Jack Johnson "Hope" guitar chords & lyrics

When I heard about the impending release of Jack Johnson's new album 'En Concert', it reminded me how great the 2008 'Sleep Through the Static" album was, and how few songs I'd worked out from it. The last Jack Johnson song chords I posted to the site were for "If I had eyes".

So I've had a listen through the album again, and picked "Hope" as a great song, both to listen to and to play, as my next song to work out playable chords and lyrics for. I've posted them to my Jack Johnson page, at the link below:

Jack Johnson guitar chords and lyrics I know you'll have fun playing this one! It has the typical Jack Johnson bubbly calypso sound, and very easy chords - G, Am, and C - pretty much the first three chords most learning guitarists get to grips with.

Stereophonics - "Innocent" guitar chords & lyrics

The Stereophonics are one of those bands who seem to have been around for ever! According to Wikipedia, they were formed in 1992, released their first album in 1997, since when they've released 6 albums, 5 of which have topped the UK albums chart. I've always been a fan, and have a bunch of their songs from thru the years on my Stereophonics guitar chords and lyrics page.

They are releasing a new album "Keep Calm and Carry On" next month. I've worked out the chord and lyrics to "Innocent", the first single from the album, and posted them to my Stereophonics song chords page at the link below:

Snow Patrol "Just say Yes" chords and lyrics

Snow Patrol are one of those bands who I really like, but maybe not in my 'Top 10', but I always enjoy playing Snow Patrol songs on my guitar, so I was thrilled to find out that they're releasing a new compilation album "Up To Now" this month, with studio tracks, B sides and three brand new songs, the first of which "Just Say Yes" will be their new single.

Never one to let the grass grow under my feet, I've got off the blocks quickly, and worked out my chords and lyrics version of "Just Say Yes" . Snow Patrol songs don't tend to be too difficult to play - this one is no exception, with just the chords A, D, F#m, D throughout the entire song ( or if you're an early learner and find the F#m a bit tricky, you can put your capo on the 2nd fret and play G, C, Em, C ).


I've posted my version of "Just Say Yes" to my Snow Patrol Song Chords page, please feel free to check it out.

Rory Gallagher "I'm not awake yet" chords & lyrics

Once again, somewhat 'punching above my weight' with this, but it's a great song by one of my favourite all-time artists, and I am a huge Rory Gallagher fan, and I actually have a Rory Gallagher chords page on my website.

Ok, I know my version of the song is a bit light, with just chords and lyrics and the short solo, but if you can even aspire to playing the solo at the end of the song, well ... you probably shouldn't be reading this! I think the song can work well as an acoustic number, if you can figure any neat embellishments to add to the sound, so much the better.

But, I've worked out my usual "chords and lyrics" version of the song, if you want to try it out, click on the link below:

Rory Gallagher guitar chords - I'm Not Awake Yet



You should try playing along with the video above ( it's also on YouTube - I'm not awake yet )

Tom Waits "Alice" guitar chords & lyrics

This is another song which somehow 'slipped thru the cracks'. I discovered my transposition of 'Alice' while migrating my site to a new host recently. Another one I had worked out and forgotten to post to the site. Ah well, better late than never, I s'pose...

In fairness, Tom did release 'Alice' and 'Woyczec' - two albums with totally contrasting material, on the same date in 2002 - as a huge Tom Waits fan, I probably spent that whole month just listening to the great new songs.

But I have now posted the chords for "Alice to my Tom Waits songs page at the link below:



Guitar chords and Lyrics for Tom Waits songs - "Alice"



You should try playing along with the video (above), or on Alice on Youtube

The original is in the key of F#m, which throws out somee tricky enough chords, so I've transposed it down to Em ( Check out my guide to chord transposition, to see how this is done. ). Anywaze, this leads to a more manageable set of chords - Am7, B7, Em, and E7. It's one of Tom's softer songs ( "Bawlers..." ), so you don't have to drink a quart of bourbon and smoke 60 Lucky Strikes before attempting it...!

The Frames "Seven Day Mile" chords & lyrics

I find myself more and more depending on hearing good songs on TV ads and programs, to get songs I'd like to work out and feature on the site. "House" has been a particulary good source recently, they've used some clips of great songs in the first 5 seasons.

While watching the second part of Season 6, Episode 1, at a critical point in the story ( don't worry, I won't ruin the plot! ), they played a great song I didn't recognize, so I searched for a "House Episode guide", and found that not only was it an Irish band, but one of my favourite - The Frames. The song was "Seven Day Mile", from their 1999 album "Dance The Devil", from which I had already posted chords and lyrics for "Plateau", "Star, Star", and "Neath the Beeches" I guess I'd forgotten just how good "Seven day Mile" really was.

I've now worked my chords and lyrics version of "Seven Day Mile" which you can find on my guitar chords website at the link below:


The Frames "Seven Day Mile" guitar chords and lyrics

Chords are a very easy set of G, A, Bm and D, so it's worth having a go, even if you aren't quite a virtuoso yet.



Play along with the video above, or if this doesn't play, with Seven Day Mile on YouTube

You can buy the Frames albums, including "Dance the Devil", at CD Universe - Frames music page

Iron and Wine - Love Vigilantes

I am only a recent convert to the silky voice and fantastic songwriting of Sam Beam, a.k.a.

Norah Jones "Chasing Pirates" chords & lyrics

Norah Jones has released a new album "The Fall", her first since 2007's "Not Too Late". The album marks something of a new direction musically, and the artist credits boast some top studio crew and musicians who have previously collaborated with the likes of Tom Waits, Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse, Beck, REM, Elvis Costello and Johnny Cash.

The chords and lyrics for Norah's "Thinking about You" was my last Norah Jones post, and I've only had a chance to have a quick listen to the new album, it sounds really smooth, with a 'fuller' sound than previous albums.

I have worked out and posted the chords and lyrics of "Chasing Pirates", the first single from the new album, to my Norah Jones song chords page, check out the link below.

PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Norah Jones songs, "Chasing Pirates"



If the embedded video above doesn't play, you can still play along with the song by listening along on YouTube - Norah Jones "Chasing Pirates"

Chords for the song are very straightforward, it should be suitable for early learners to have a go! Verse chords are D, Bm, G, Em and chorus chords are: G, A, D, Bm. That's it!

Norah's official webpage is http://www.norahjones.com

Jason Mraz "Make it Mine" chords and lyrics

Having been one of the last on the planet to 'discover' him, I posted my interpretation of the chords and lyrics for Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours" , the first single from his 2008 album "We sing, we dance, we steal things" about a month ago. As it's been the most visited page on my Blog since then, I've now also transcribed guitar chords and lyrics for "Make it Mine" , you can find it on my Pop songs guitar chords page at the link below:

Jason Mraz - guitar chords and lyrics to "Make it Mine"



If the video above doesn't load, click on this YouTube - Jason Mraz "Make it Mine" link.

The chords could be trick enough if you're an early learner. Verse chords are Cmaj7, Bm7 and Am7 ; Chorus is Am7, D, Bm7, Em7 and Cmaj7 at the end. Bridge chords are D#, A#, C and D.

The official Jason Mraz website is at http://www.jasonmraz.com/

Arctic Monkeys "Crying Lightning" chords and lyrics

"Crying Lightning" is the first single from the Arctic Monkeys 2009 album "Humbug".

The Arctic Monkeys are one of my favourite bands, and even though their quirky manic brand of rock doesn't lend itself terribly well to 'busking' on an acoustic, I've managed to work out pretty playable versions of 8 of their songs, which are on my Arctic Monkeys song chords page.

The most recent of these is "Crying Lightning", you can try out my simplified version of this one at the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics for Arctic Monkeys "Crying Lightning" - new single from "Humbug"



If the video above fails to play, you can play along with the song on This Youtube Link

Though I've tried to present it as simply as possible, it might be a bit of a stretch if you're in the early learning stages. Chords are A, F, G, C, G#, E, Am, and Dm.

Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" chords and lyrics

This is another piece of buried treasure unearthed during my recent website move. I had worked out the song back when it was released, (in 1983!), used to play it regularly back then, but had never posted it to my chords site.

It's a really straightforward song to play, with verse and chorus being Am F E all the way through the song, with just a Dm thrown in during the bridge. Of course no-one will ever sing it like Annie Lennox, but it's a fun song to do, everyone always joins in on the chorus.

"Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" is now on the site, on the Rock Song chords page, at the link below:

Weezer - "I want you to" chords and lyrics

The full song title "If you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to" wouldn't fit in the title bar, for obvious reasons!

Just realised that the last time I posted Weezer song chords to the site ( "Peace" from the 2005 album "Make Believe" ) was over a year ago!

Bang up to date this time tho' - it's the new single (as above) from their brand new album "Raditude". It took a while for this one to grow on me, but it has, I'm really enjoying both listening to and playing the song. If the rest of the album is up to this standard, you can expect more Weezer songs from "Raditude" on my site very soon!

Anywaze, I've worked out my version of the chords and lyrics to "... I want you to" and posted them to my Weezer guitar chords page. It's a really catchy song, I hope you like it, and will have fun playing and singing along.



If the video above doesn't play, you can find the song at this Youtube link

Learn more about Weezer at their official website : weezer.com and CDUniverse have a Weezer page where you can browse their collection of albums and singles, maybe treat yourself to an early Xmas present!

Paolo Nutini - "Last request" chords & lyrics

This is my 3rd Paolo Nutini song, having previously posted "New Shoes" and "Candy" to my Pop songs chords and lyrics page.

Another melodic ballad, with a big-hitting chorus, that's really fun to play and sing. If you find the chords difficult ( verse: F Am Cm Gm, bridge: Bb Dm Gm, chorus: F Am Dm Gm Bb C ), you can use my Guide to chord transposition to slide the chords to a key which suits your playing ability. Sliding down 3 semitones would give you verse: D F#m Am Em, bridge: G Bm Em, chorus: D F#m Bm Em G A. Just put a capo on 3rd fret to bring it up to the original key.


I have posted my version of the song chords and lyrics for "Last Request" to my Pop Songs chords and lyrics page at the link below:
