Noel Gallagher "Death of You and Me" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-28T16:22:00.001+01:00

I was a huge fan of Oasis in the mid-90s, once again thanks to the good taste of my lovely daughters! As a result, there are obout 30 Oasis songs on my Oasis guitar chords page.

I kinda didn't keep up with the later albums, but since hearing the first few songs from the debut album, simply titled "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds", I have been re-converted. Noel and his new troupe of musicians combine the best of the melodic side of Oasis, without being 'Oasis-light' - there is still a rocky edge to the sound. Delighted to hear that the new tour ( currently in Ireland ) is really kicking up a storm, with fans and critics alike.

I've worked out the chords and lyrics for the first single from the album "Death of You and Me", which for convenience I have posted to my Oasis page (see above). Click on the link below to go straight to the page for the song:

Death Cab for Cutie "Codes And Keys" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-28T15:07:00.003+01:00

Death Cab For Cutie are one of the bands who have been recommended to me by my daughters and their friends, but which I never seem to get around to having a good listen to.

I did get a chance to have a listen to their new album "Codes And Keys", and was really impressed. Comparisons to Coldplay, Keane, Snow Patrol are inevitable, particularly with many of the songs being keyboard driven. But they acquit themselves very highly in this company.

I was particularly taken with the Title track, "Codes and Keys ( duh... ) and have worked out the chords and lyrics for it, which I've posted to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page, or you can just click on the link below:

Guitar Chords and Lyrics to "Codes And Keys" by Death Cab For Cutie.

Playing along with the video above, or on Youtube at Death Cab For Cutie "Codes And Keys" on YouTube

Just a throwaway piece of info for the anoraks - the band got their name from a really funny song by the great 60's outfit "The Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band". Just sayin'..!

Bruno Mars "The Lazy Song" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-27T13:23:00.003+01:00

I've already worked out chords and lyrics for "Just The Way You Are" and "Grenade", the first two singles from Bruno Mars' chart-topping album "Doo-Wops and Hooligans". I really like his upbeat mix of pop, reggae and just generally "feelgood" music.

I recently worked out and posted my interpretation of the third single from the album, "The Lazy Song", and posted it to my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page, at the link below. The original song is in the key of B major, which means that the song chords would be quite tricky for learning players. I have transposed the song down four semitones, to the key of G ( every beginner's favourite! ), so the transposed chords are G, D, C, B7, Am, Bm and Em. Just put a capo on the 4th fret to bring the song back to B, if you want to play along with the original. The song is available on my website at:

Aloe Blacc "I Need A Dollar" Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-20T17:15:00.003+01:00

Aloe Blacc is yet another artist I'd never heard of before this song hit the airwaves with a vengeance - but it would seem he has been performing and recording since the mid 90's. "I need a dollar" was taken from his Eight album, good things.

The song is a pretty simple, straightforward R&B ( that's Rhythm and Blues folks! ) song, which maybe accounts for it's universal popularity.

Although the song is in the fairly tricky key of G# minor, I have transcribed it down four semitones to E minor - put a capo on the 4th fret if you want to play it in the original key. After transcription, the chords I've worked out are: Em, D, Am, and B7 for the Verse/chorus, with the 'bridge' being Bm, Em and Am.

I've posted the chords for "I need a dollar" to my Pop songs guitar chords at the link below:

Adele "Set Fire To The Rain" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-19T17:01:00.004+01:00

Yes, it's another Adele song, who'd have thought?! In fairness, she has just brought out a bunch of really good songs in rapid succession, so when looking for songs to add to my website, she's a Godsend!!

Another power-ballad, with nice melodic verse and bridge building up to an anthemic and memorable chorus. The original song is in the key of D minor - I have transcribed it to A minor to create an easier set of chords to play, so you would need to put a capo on the 5th fret to play along with Adele's version.

I've posted my transcription of "Set Fire To The Rain" to my Pop Songs guitar chords page at the link below:

La Roux "Bulletproof" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-17T15:37:00.006+01:00

Regular visitors to my website will know that I generally stick to an eclectic selection of the musical genres I like, mainly Rock and Indie songs, plus some niche areas like Folk Songs , "Golden Oldies" , Soul/R&B Songs and of course Christmas Songs ( Never too early ....! )

While I do have a large bunch of songs on my Pop Songs guitar chords page, these are mainly songs by the Rock or Indie bands that were just a bit 'light' to be considered as "Rock" - sometimes it's a fine line!

But I have lately found that there are less and less 'guitar songs' around, particularly being played on the radio stations, and in the singles charts, so I've opened my mind to some of the other music styles I might previously have bypassed.

One of these is the great 'Electro-pop' single by La Roux called "Bulletproof". I found by concentrating on the Bass lines, it wasn't too difficult to figure out which chords would underpin the song. Although the song is in the key of E flat minor, I was able to transpose it down a semi-tone to D minor, producing chords: Dm, G, Bb and F - not too tricky, huh?!

The plus side of playing songs like this out at open-mic or just get-together sessions is the 'surprise element' - you get a few bonus 'kudos points' for playing a song that your audience would'n have expected an acoustic guitar player to manage.

I have the chords and lyrics for La Roux "Bulletproof" at the link below:

Train "Marry Me" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-15T20:24:00.004+01:00

I first heard of Train last year, when their single "Hey Soul Sister" ( which I have posted to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page ) was getting lots of radio play, but I gather they've been around for quite a few years.

I will try to catch up on their older stuff at some point, but in the meantime I have worked out the chords and lyrics for their latest single "Marry Me".

The chords are pretty playable, even for beginners: C, G, G5, Am, F, Am/G, Bb and Csus4. If some of these chords don't sound familiar, don't worry, I have included diagrams for them, they are mainly just variations of chords you'll already know.

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

Loggins and Messina "Danny's Song" Guitar chords and lyrics

2011-10-15T16:32:00.005+01:00

This is one of those in the 'Songs I'd almost forgotten' class. I was only reminded of it when my daughter heard the Anne Murray version on radio, and asked me if I could work out the chords for her - which, as a good, thoughtful Dad I of course did! I thought I didn't know the song at all until I heard the chorus, then remembered it from back in that early period in the 70's when Kenny Loggins and Dan Messina were up there with The Eagles in the big Country/Rock scene.

It's actually a pretty nice song to play, nice chord sequence - D, C, Bm, E7 and A for the verse, and G, A, D, Bm for the main part of the chorus, ending back with the verse chords.

I posted my version of the song chords and lyrics to my Old Songs guitar chords page on my website. Check it out at the link below:

Adele "Rolling in The Deep" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-14T20:14:00.009+01:00

It's hard to avoid Adele when thinking of songs to work out these days! There have been times where she seems to occupy every second position in the singles charts.

I have already worked out the chords and lyrics for "To Make You Feel My Love", "Someone like You", and "Set Fire To The Rain", and posted them to my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page.

Struggling to keep up with the prolific Adele, but I have now worked out easy to play chords and lyrics for "Rolling In The Deep". The song is in the key of C# minor / E flat major, which would be pretty difficult for those of us who are not quite expert guitar players, so I have transcribed the song to be in the key of A minor / C major, which makes for a much more playable set of chords - Am, F, G, Em, E, and C. Putting a capo on the 3rd fret will bring the song back to the original key - but you should obviously aim for a key which suits your voice.

There is a 'bridge' part which is piano/keyboard based, which involves playing some notes over an A minor chord, but you can busk it through with just the A minor if you find this too difficult.

You can find the guitar chords and lyrics for "Rolling In The Deep" on Guitarsongs.info at Adele - guitar chords for "Rolling in the Deep"

MGMT "Kids" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-14T18:57:00.004+01:00

I honestly thought I had worked out the chords for "Kids" a long time ago - when the song was always on the radio. But I received a request on Facebook for the chords of the song, and discovered that it was one of the 'ones that got away'.

It's too good a song not to have on my site, so I've remedied the situation and posted my version of the song chords and lyrics to my Rock Songs guitar chords page on my website. Check it out at the link below:

Guitar chords and lyrics to "Kids" by MGMT

The chords for "Kids" are very simple, F#m, D, A and E throughout, except for the bridge, which also features a B major chord.

Sade "Still In Love With You" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-14T17:48:00.003+01:00

Following a return from over 10 years of retirement, and the release of a new album "Soldier of Love", Sade have released a brilliant compilation album, "The Ultimate Collection", featuring all of the old classics ( including my own personal favourite "By Your Side".

As well as providing all your favourite Sade songs on one album, there is also the inclusion of an absolutely gorgeous cover of a ( to me at least ) lesser-known Thin Lizzy song "Still in Love with You". Since hearing the cover, I have checked out the original, which is brilliant, but when you listen to the cover version it just sounds like the song was written for Sade's smooth and smoky vocals.

The chords for the song are straightforward enough - Am, D, Dm, G, C, C/B and Am7, with a single Fmaj7 right at the end, although as indicated in my transcription, you can alter these chords slightly for a bluesier sound.

I've posted my interpretation of Sade's cover of "Still in Love With You" to my Sade song chords page, or at the link below:

Foo Fighters "Rope" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

2011-10-14T15:28:00.009+01:00

"Rope" is the first single from the new Foo Fighters album "Wasting Light", and it's Dave and the boys doing what they do best - nifty riffs and chords, building up to the trademark anthemic chorus. It's the first Foo Fighters song I've added to PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics since "Wheels", almost two years ago.

It's great to see a classic rock band like the Foo Fighters still out there making good rock songs and releasing singles - I have been finding it really difficult in the past few years to use the charts as a source of good songs to work out on guitar, and I'm hearing fewer and fewer songs on radio that make me want to reach for my guitar.

Although it's not an obvious song for playing on acoustic guitar, I have worked out a set of chords which will hopefully be playable on either electric or acoustic ( no tabs for the lead solo, I'm afraid! ). The main body of the song is carried along with a set of 'triads' - three chords played in quick succession, i.e.:

Bm-D-Bm ; F#m-A-F#m ; Dm-C-Dm ; Dm-C-Dm ;

The chords in the pre-chorus and chorus are pretty straightforward, Bm, F#m, Dm, G, Em and A, with a nice little slide up at the end: G-G#m-A-Bb-Bm

I have uploaded my transcription of "Rope" to my Foo Fighters songs chords page, or at the link below:

Adele "Someone Like You" chords and lyrics

2011-08-12T22:32:00.005+01:00

Like pretty much everyone else, I've run out of superlatives to describe the amazing vocal talents of Adele. A glance at any UK, US or other charts inevitably will have at least 4, maybe 5 of her songs in the top 40, so it's great to see she is getting the recognition she deserves.

"Someone Like You" is the second single from her "21" album, and co-written by Adele and Dan Wilson.

I have worked out the chords for "Someone Like You" and posted them to my Pop Songs guitar chords page, along with "To Make You Feel my Love", which I'd posted earlier.

The song is in the key of A major, but I've transposed it to G major to generate an easier set of chords to play. Use a capo on the 2nd fret to bring the song back to the original key, particularly if you want to play along with the video (below).

The song chords for "Someone Like You" are now available on Guitarsongs.info at Adele - chords for Someone Like You"

Guitar Chords - Amy McDonald "This is the Life"

2011-07-05T12:08:00.009+01:00

TV commercials can be a great source for discovering new artists ( or at least artists new to me! ) and some great songs for playing on guitar.

The recent Fiat 500 Twin Air TV ad featured a great song I had never heard, and which on 'Googling' it discovered was Amy McDonald singing "This is The Life", from her debut album of the same name in 2007, which reached the number 1 spot in the UK's ( and several other European country's ) album charts. First impression was that she sounds like a female version of fellow-Scot Paolo Nutini, but that's just my impression.

The song is in the key of C# minor, with chords being C#m, B, E and G#. Not the easiest set of chords for guitar players in the early learning stages, so I transposed the song to the key of A minor. This allows for a much more straightforward set of chords: Am, F, C and E, which are played throughout the song. Play with a capo on the 4th fret to bring the song back to it's original key.

I have posted my transcribed version of the chords and lyrics to "This is the Life" to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at Guitarsongs.info.

You can check out my version of "This is The Life" now at the link below:

Two Door Cinema Club - Chords for "What You Know"

2011-07-05T10:46:00.004+01:00

This is my second attempt at working out a 2-Door Cinema Club song, having posted chords and lyrics for "Something Good Can Work" to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords Page about a year ago.

With the shortage of good new songs by what I'd class as "Guitar Bands" these days, I've had to step a bit outside of my comfort zone and try working on songs by bands like "Owl City", "Florence and the Machine", "Paramore" and a few others in, I suppose, the "electro-pop" genre, including of course "Two Door Cinema Club". They are almost all nice, catchy, sing-along songs though, and generally sound ok even just played on acoustic guitar, even though the song itself is carried mostly by electronic keyboards.

This one is in the key of F#m, so I have transcribed it to Em, which means putting a capo on the 2nd fret, to bring it up to the original key.

Chords aren't too tricky: Em, Em7, D6, Bm, Cmaj7 on the verse, and Em, Em7/F# ( 220000 ), G and Cmaj7.

My guitar version of "What You Know" has been uploaded to my Rock songs chords page, you can find it at the link below:

Guitar Chords - Jamie Lawson "I wasn't expecting That"

2011-07-05T09:23:00.007+01:00

Like David Gray before him, Jamie Lawson is another West of England singer-songwriter who has been 'adopted' by the Irish music loving people as one of their own. His great single "I wasn't expecting that" went to #1 in the Irish iTunes charts, having gone viral on YouTube, with over 360,000 views since it was posted earlier this year.

Jamie has been touring his new album of the same name ( "Wasn't expecting That" ) around Ireland over the past few months, and is building up a huge following around the country. I have only had the chance to 'dip into' the album, some of the songs sound amazing, some possibly need to grow on you. Very much a new artist finding his feet, but one I believe will explode on the international scene very soon.

I have worked out an easily playable chords and lyrics version of the single, and posted it on my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page at www.guitarsongs.info (PJ's Guitar Chords and Lyrics)

The chords are straightforward enough: C, Em, Am, G, F, Dm and E7 for the verse and chorus, and a bridge which also includes G# and G7. The key for the song is actually F#, but Jamie plays it with a capo on the 6th fret, using the chords above, which just seem to suit the song.

The chords and lyrics for "Wasn't Expecting That" are at this link:

Guitar Chords Avril Lavigne "Everybody Hurts"

I still think of Avril Lavigne as a relatively new young artist, so was amazed when checking on Wikipedia that her first album "Let Go", which included "Complicated" and "I'm With You" was released in 2002. Yup, nine years ago!

In that time, I have worked out easy chords and lyrics versions to 8 of Avril's songs, including the two mentioned above, with "When You're Gone" being the last one posted, back in 2007, on my Avril Lavigne song chords page.

Haven't heard much from Ms. Lavigne since then, but just heard her new single "Everybody Hurts" on the radio, and it sounds like she's back to top form.

The song is in the key of F#/G#m, with chords being G#m, E, B and F#. As these are quite difficult chords for early learning guitar players, I transposed the song to the key of D/Em, which produces a much more manageable set of chords: Em, C, G and D. Play with a capo on the 4th fret to bring the song back to it's original key.

I have posted my simplified chords and lyrics version of "Everybody Hurts" to my Avril Lavigne Guitar Chords page at Guitarsongs.info.

You can check out my version of "Everybody Hurts" now at the link below:

Shine on you Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd

2011-06-22T17:06:00.006+01:00

Pink Floyd are not a band whose songs lend themselves to being interpreted for just acoustic guitar and voice - my only other 'Floyd' song on guitarsongs.info is "Wish You Were Here", one of their few songs beloved by buskers worldwide, which is on my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page.

After watching a video on Facebook of Christy Moore and Declan Sinnott perform their version of the song, I decided to give it a go. I listened to a live version of the song by Dave Gilmore ( see below ), pretty much sat in awe thru the 5 min. 25 second instrumental intro, and worked the chords from the start of the first sung verse.

Chords are not the handiest - Gm, F#, Bb, Eb, Dm, Cm, F, C, D, Edim, so you'll be pretty much deploying barre chords most of the way, but it is a slow tempo song, so ideal for anyone who wants to learn some new chords, practice playing songs with lots of barre chords, and at the end of it all, be able to play a classic Pink Floyd rock song on your guitar.

I've added my chords and lyrics version of "Shine On to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at Guitarsongs.info.

You can check out my version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamon" at the link below:

Play along with the video above, or on YouTube at Dave Gilmour Live "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" ( actual song/vocals start at about 5:25 )

Villagers - "Becoming A Jackal" chords and lyrics

2011-06-21T17:15:00.006+01:00

My first attempt at chording a song by Irish Band "Villagers". I first heard this song on "Later with Jools Holland", they sounded to me quite like one of my favourite bands "The Shins".

One thing these bands certainly have in common is producing very melodic songs with basic major and minor chords, but which are really difficult to play - the lyrics not always following the chord sequence in any flowing or rhythmic way

But - I've given it my best shot, and added my chords and lyrics version of the song to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page at Guitarsongs.info.

The chords themselves are straightforward enough - Am, Am7/G, Dadd9, B7, Em, Em7, C, C/B, G, Bm, F and G7. Keeping them flowing, while singing the lyrics, I must admit I found quite difficult, so this one may not suit the early learner.

You can check out my version off "Becoming A Jackal" at the link below:

Belle & Sebastian - I want the world to stop

2011-06-21T16:31:00.006+01:00

Belle and Sebastian are one of those 'fleeting' artists I only hear at very irregular intervals.

I had already worked out and posted chords for "If you're feeling Sinister" ( from the 1996 album of the same name, and "Step into my office, baby" from the 2003 album "Dear Catastrophe Waitress". I guess the Glaswegian band's quirky style doesn't sit that well with mainstream radio DJs.

I recently did hear "I want the world to stop" from their 2010 Album "Write about Love", worked out the chords and lyrics, and added them to my Rock Songs Guitar Chords page, along with the previous two. Hmmm... just looking at the gaps in these posts, I guess you can expect the next Belle and Sebastian song from me sometime in 2018!!

The song has a fairly playable bunch of chords: Am, Dm, C, E, A, G, Em and F, has a great melody and some nice harmonies.

You can check out my version off "I want the world to stop" at the link below:

Belle and Sebastian "I want the world to stop" chords and lyrics

Noah and the Whale - L.I.F.E. G.O.E.S. O.N.

2011-05-18T15:30:00.006+01:00

I have already posted chords and lyrics for "5 Years Time" and "Shape of my Heart" by English indie-folk-rock band Noah and the Whale, from their debut album "Peaceful, the world lays me down". You can find them on my Rock songs guitar chords page.

I have to admit that I really didn't catch the second album, "Blue Skies", but "Life Goes On" ( or more accurately "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N." ), the first single from the new album "Last Night on Earth" has been getting lots of airplay, and receiving good critical review.

I have worked out a very playable chords and lyrics version of the song, which has also been added to my Rock songs page, you can check it out at the link below:

Noah and the Whale "Life Goes On" chords and lyrics

Play along with the video above, or on YouTube at Noah and the Whale - Life Goes On. The song is in the key of E, chords are E, A, B and F#m.

Guitar Chords and Lyrics "Aretha" by Rumer

2011-05-07T17:19:00.002+01:00

Rumer is a British female pop/soul singer born in Pakistan. Her voice has been compared to many great female singers, including the late Karen Carpenter, but her vocals are a unique brand of sweet, bluesy and sultry, and I believe she will go on to be a huge star in her own right.

I had previously posted my chords and lyrics version of her first single "Slow", from her debut album "Seasons of the Soul". "Aretha" is the second single taken from the album, and is another gorgeous soulful ballad.

Rumer is already a hit with some top names in the business, having toured with Jools Holland and Joshua Radin among others, and has the distinction of having had a number of songs written especially for her by the great Burt Bacharach.

I have worked out my chords and lyrics version of "Aretha", and added it to my Soul Songs Guitar Chords page at the link below. The song is in the key of F major, which means there is a tricky enough selection of chords involved.

The chords are F, B flat, G minor, E flat, E flat minor, D minor and C minor. I would normally suggest transcription to a lower key, using a capo to bring the pitch up to the correct key, but in the final verse there is a key change from F to G, the chords here being G, C, A minor, F, F minor, D minor, and E7th.

Transcription would produce an easier set of chords for the main body of the song, but even more difficult chords for the last verse. In any case, the original chords just fit the bluesy feel of the song, so it is worth while putting in the extra effort to practice these chords.

You can try out my version of the song at the link below:

Guitar Chords "To Make You Feel My Love" Adele and Bob Dylan

2011-04-01T15:15:00.007+01:00

This post is a 2-for-1 special! When I heard Adele's version of "To Make You Feel My Love" I realized that I hadn't posted the chords for the original version by Bob Dylan, despite the fact that I am a huge Dylan fan.

Thought I might have gotten away with just working out the song once, but on listening to both versions, there are quite a few differences, the Dylan version is bluesier, and is in a totally different key. So... I worked out the chords for both versions, so that you should be able to play whichever is your favourite version. Or even mix it up and alternate between the two!

The Adele version is in the key of B flat, a tricky key, so I have transposed it to the key of G - if you put a capo on the 3rd fret you'll be playing back in B flat, and can play along with the original Adele version. The transposed chords are: G, G/F#, F, C, Cm, G, A7, D7 and G for the verse and C, G, B7, C, G, C, G, A7, D7 for the Bridge.

The Dylan version is in the key of C sharp, so I've also transposed the chords for this version, down to C, so in this case you would need a capo on the 1st fret to play along with the original.

The chords are a bit more complex, but I have included a chart showing the fingering for each of the chords used, which are: Cadd9, Em7, Em7b5, F, Fm, C, D7, G, Cadd9 for the verse, and for the Bridge - F, C, E, F, C, F, C, Dm7 and G.

I've posted my chord arrangement for Adele's version on my Pop Songs Guitar Chords at the link below:

I've posted my version of Dylan's original on my Bob Dylan Songs Guitar Chords at the link below:

I haven't been able to locate the Dylan version on YouTube, it's available on his "Time out of Mind" album if you can get hold of it.

Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Cee Lo Green "Forget You"

2011-03-29T14:49:00.005+01:00

This has gotta be the classic pop/soul song of 2011! I'd never heard of Cee Lo Green before this, but I gather from Wikipedia that he was half of Gnarls Barkley, who had had a UK and US number 1 previously with "Crazy"

"Forget You" ( originally titled "F**k You", but very sensibly toned down to get radio exposure! ) is a tongue-in-cheek lyric, bemoaning the fact that he can't get the girl 'cos he ain't got the money, but surging along on an almost 60's Motown feelgood rhythm and melody.

I figured this one would probably be a "must play" cover for all guitarists who play at work / friend / family sessions ( most probably using the original lyrics ... ), so I've worked out a chords and lyrics version which is very easy to play, even for beginning guitarists. Basically it is C major, D7th, F major and back to C most of the way thru.

There is a bridge which has E minor, A minor, F major, G major and D minor ( there is a little bass "walk-up" from the Am to the Dm if you can manage it, but you'll get away without it - chances are your audience will be singing along so loud they won't notice! )

I've posted my chords and lyrics version of "Forget You" on the Guitarsongs.info Soul, R&B page at the link below:

Bruno Mars "Grenade" chords and lyrics

2011-03-27T20:48:00.002+01:00

This is the second single from Bruno's debut album "Doo-wops and Hooligans", a great selection of bright and bouncy pop tunes.

I have been listening to the song, and have worked out a simple chords and lyrics version, and posted it on my Pop Songs Guitar Chords page at www.guitarsongs.info (PJ's Guitar Chords and Lyrics)

The song is in D Minor, with the chords being D minor, A minor, B flat, A major, F major, C major and G minor.

Because there are a few tricky chords here for the early learner, I transcribed the song to A minor, which produces chords: A minor, E minor, E major, F major, C major, G major and D minor - a set of chords most people learn at an early stage. Just put a capo on the 5th fret while playing the A minor version, and you will still be in D minor, and able to play along with the original.

You can find the chords and lyrics for "Grenade" at this link:
