Laura Veirs – Spelunking

smfnb — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:58:52 +0000

Tuning on this is tuned up one full step: aDF#B. If you use capos you can just put it on the second fret and play accordingly.

Intro: C (8 cts), Dm (8cts), A (16 cts)

        Am
The tiny midnight caravan
                  C
Made its way across the black hills
        Dm
As I watched from a distance
         F
The slow-going glow
                Dm
They’re wandering you know
                   G
Made me pine
               C
For the lamplight
                       F
Where you lie
                       A
Where you lie

    Am
If I took you darling
              C
To the caverns of my heart
                       Dm
Would you light the lamp dear?
                       F
Would you light the lamp dear?
                Dm
And see fish without eyes
G
Bats with their heads
                  C
Hanging down towards the ground
                       F
Would you still come around?
             A
Come around?

(Solo on the same chords)

Am
I believe in you
               C
In your honesty and your eyes
Dm
Even when I’m sloshing
             F
In the muck of my demise
    Dm
A large part of me
     G
Is always and forever tied
              C
To the lamplight
                F
Of your eyes
                A
Of your eyes

Moana Chimes-slack key style

mark-o — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:04:14 +0000

Here’s an arrangement of the steel guitar standard played in Hawaiian slack key style. Just tune your 1st string down a full step (A-G); sounds best with a low G string. There’s a cheezy midi file to hear how it sounds. Have fun!

The Blower’s Daughter Chords – Damien Rice

linzee44 — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:08:38 +0000

I absolutely adore this song by Damien Rice, and I can never find good enough chords! So here are my chords, and I they sound swell to me! Try it out.

And so it is

Just like you said it would be

Life goes easy on me

G D

Most…of the time

And so it is

The shorter story

No love, no glory

No hero in her skies…

I can’t take my eyes off you

F#m

I can’t take my eyes off you

I can’t take my eyes off of you

Can’t take my eyes off you

A G A

Can’t take my eyes

…And so on. Hope you like it!

The Kooks – Seaside

swallowedbyafish — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:26:14 +0000

These are adapted from some guitar chords I found on Chordie. They didn’t sound exactly right so I played around with them a little bit.

Here’s my version: Seaside Chords

For the last verse, they do some finger picking along with the strumming. I emulate it by fretting the chords and then picking this pattern: (I’m referring to the strings as G, C, E, and A, and strums as D and U)

After the chorus, before the verse: C – A – - – E – A – E – A – E -

During the end verse: C – A – - – U – D – U – D -

Hopefully that makes sense.

Argyle Smile – Every Song

boughter — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:49:14 +0000

Hey, so this sounds good to me, but I don’t think it’s perfect. My favorite track from last weeks UkeTube

Also, you can hear him moving around on the A-string at the end of some of the progressions, sometimes moving up to Cadd9, and other times going up to the 7th fret. I think there may even be an Am7 in there. If you guys can clear it up I’ll change the chords. Otherwise, I think they’re right… I’m never sure on this stuff. Just holler if something’s wrong.

Verse 1
C Dm
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
C Dm
And I think of all the things, what you’re doing and in my head I make a picture

Chorus
F                                                                             Am
‘Cos since I’ve come on home, well my body’s been a mess
         F                                                                                          Am
And I’ve missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
F                                                      C                                    G
Won’t you come on over, stop making a fool of me
                                                            C                   Dm
Why won’t you come on over Valerie?     Valerie

Verse 2
        C                                                                                                                                   Dm
Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sail, did you get a good lawyer?
           C                                                                                                                                  Dm
I hope you didn’t catch a tan, I hope you find the right man who’ll fix it for you
        C                                                                                                                             Dm
Are you shopping anywhere, changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
            C                                                                                                                                    Dm
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?

Chorus
F                                                                              Am
‘Cos since I’ve come on home, well my body’s been a mess
         F                                                                                          Am
And I’ve missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
F                                                        C                                  G
Won’t you come on over, stop making a fool of me
                                                             C                  Dm
Why won’t you come on over Valerie?     Valerie
                                C            Dm
                           Valerie?     Valerie

I’ve got long johns under slacks for blustery days.
C                             F
I think that it’s brainless

To assume that making changes

2 Atoms in a Molecule

boughter — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:32:58 +0000

Just the main riff. Worked out what I think is a uke friendly way of playing it. All though I didn’t put them in I use pull offs when I play a few sections. Fun little riff to play. Not in the same key as song.

New record drops August 31, preorders are up at their official blog. Just don’t steal my signed copy over at RecordStore.co.uk or I’ll be feeling a lot like this song.
