Hi Boggie and welcome to the forum.

Assuming this is the song:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaUVLvhwwK8

I couldn't find the chords for it either so I tried to transcribe them.  I had a lot of difficulty with it for some reason, so this may be a bit off here and there.

It's recorded in the key of F.  Unless you're a pretty skilled player (which I'm not), it's a hard key for guitar.  In order to pick the chords out, I tuned my guitar down a whole step (DGCFAd) and used G fingering  If you want to do that (in order to be in tune with the recording), transpose everything you see below +2.

Anyway, for what it's worth, this is what I hear:

Intro C7

Chorus:
I'm ... (F)fo-(Dm)ol ... (Gm)baby (C)
I'm ... (F)fo-(Dm)ol ... (Gm)love (C)
You ... (Gm7)half ... to (C7)heaven
And you (Bb)know ... enough (Bb/A)
(Gm)I'm ... (C)fool ... (F)love.

Verse 1:
(Dm)You've ... (Gm)near you (C)
(Dm)You ... (Gm)grow (C)
You ... (Bb)like ... (F)simple
And ... (A7)don't ... (Dm)ties
But I (G)see ... (Gm)ey-(C)es  (C7)

Then another chorus.
Then a solo which follows the chorus chords.
Then verse 2.
Then a key change +1 semitone to F#
Chorus in F#
Finish the outro as the last lines of the chorus in F#.

And that's about it.  Good luck with it.

Just an observation:  Seems like whatever I am doing is never as important as what she WANTS me to be doing.

In truth though, it's likely that I get on her nerves more than she does mine, so I count myself fortunate.

LOL!  OK Russell, technically you are right, but there are some who would argue that if the A is in the same octave as the root (a whole tone up from the root G) then it's an "add2", and not an add9.

I'm not saying I'm one of those people.  smile  I'm sure you've forgotten more music theory than I'll ever know.

Yep, I've been coming around for a few years now and I keep coming back because it's not only helpful, but the people are fun.

One of the reasons the site is so fun and useful is that the moderators don't screw around.  With that in mind, I do recommend (if you haven't already) that you make sure you read and follow the forum rules to keep yourself from being banned.  Here is the main set of rules:  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15055

Look for the "stickies" (topics with a green background) at the top of each forum section for additional useful info.

Glad you found it, and welcome.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You CAN play the Gadd9 using the A string.  Like every other chord, there are multiple ways to play it.  Here are some examples:  http://jguitar.com/chordsearch/Gadd9

But to answer your "how to avoid the A string" question, the simple answer is to mute it and then strum through it.  If it is muted (like with the side of one of your fingers), then it won't ring out when you strum over it.  For example, a lot of people (myself included) use the thumb to mute the low E string when playing an open C or A chord.  Same principle, just a different string.

I traveled through Wales on my way to catch a ferry to Ireland.  VERY interesting and beautiful country that I really enjoyed.  The people (many of whom I met and became friends with while working in England) were among the most personable I've met in my life.  One of my favorite stops in Wales was in the town with (at the time) the "world's longest name":  Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

(Copy and paste into Google if you really want to know.)  smile

Anyway,  Happy St. David's Day!

Correct.  And now that I think about it some more, when I lived in NE England from 1999-mid 2002, I learned that David Coverdale (Whitesnake) was from a little town called Saltburn, which is in County Cleveland, which is where I worked.  Again, vicarious.

I like this thread, though.

I had to do a little bit of research here.  I assume you mean "The Wailers"?

Not trying to nit-pick, just trying to understand.  I couldn't find anything on a band called "The Whalers".

A-HA!

I thought of one.  There is a well-known singer who was born in the town I currently live in, but she didn't gain fame until she moved to Corpus Christi some years later.  Unfortunately, she's dead now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selena

All of this went down before my time here (I moved here in 2002), but I know several people who knew her.

Edit:  Corrected a typo because of my CDO.

Oh yeah.  The Conchords (spelling is important in this one) are hilarious.  My favorite is "Bowie's in Space":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8f_XCH3zmM

I don't know of any bands that have made it to any level of recognition whatsoever who are from any of the towns I have lived in.

The closest affiliation I have is vicarious.  My son lives in Denton (Texas), and the Eli Young band was formed at the college he attends.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Young_Band

EDIT:  Don Henley (the Eagles) attended that college too, but it was before he moved to California and met Glenn Frey, so that probably doesn't count.

Welcome to the forum.  This is a nice song. 

Here is the recording:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CTR2zwhJYU
Here are the full lyrics:  http://www.lukabloom.com/shop/03-heart-man/

This is what I hear:

It's in E but he plays it with a capo on fret 2 using D fingering.  That's good because it's easier to play that way.

Intro:  Alternate between D and Em7.  To play the Em7, keep your ring finger anchored on the B string 3rd fret and move your index and ring to the A and D strings 2nd fret.  Alternate between D and Em7 three times.

Verse:
(D)I know ... (Em7)give, ... live
(D)Walking ... poor, (Em7) ... ground
(D)For sure  (Em7)
Heart (D)Man ... (Em7) shine (A)          >>> [X3]
It’s your (C)ti-i-(G)i-i-i-(Asus4)ime (A)
Heart (D)Man… (Em7)(D)(Em7)

Second verse and chorus same as above.

Then a little solo over the two D and Em7 combinations between verse 2 and 3.

Third verse and chorus same as before and another solo over the transition.

Then repeat the chorus chords for the outro and end on D.

And that's it.  if it's not 100% accurate, it's good enough to fake it.  smile

Welcome to the forum.  Here are the chords, shown in the key of C.

http://www.classic-country-song-lyrics. … hords.html

However, the version I heard here is in the key of E:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBG7zh97ziE

If you want to use those chords but be in tune with the recording, put a capo on fret 4.

Here's the Kenny Rogers one:

However, from my read they are not very accurate.  Wrong key, wrong chords in some places.  Play around with it (with a capo), and if you still need help, start a new thread requesting this specific song and I can probably pick them out.

Welcome to the forum.  You haven't really broken any rules, but there is a section on the message boards called "Song Requests"  A moderator will probably move your post to that section for a response.

Don't sweat it;  it happens all the time.

OK, so I don't have a facebook page, but I tried posting this part of the string in my browswer:

I got a message which says:  "Video Unavailable.  This video has either been removed from Facebook or is not visible due to privacy settings."

So my guess is if I had a facebook thing and you were my "friend" I would be able to see it.  But alas.

Any chance one of you could upload the video to YouTube for those of us who are facebook challenged?  Remember:  "Video, or it didn't happen!" smile

OK, well, I can't help with the program (Guitar Pro or whatever).  I could probably (eventually) pick out a fingerpicking tab for the intro, but it would take much more time that what I have to spend on this.
I can give you the chords.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH5EoA3nn_4

Nice song, but I don't care much for his voice.  I thought he sounded like a boy band wannabe member, and then I learned from Wikipedia that his claim to fame is winning a season of the German version of American Idol, so that explains it.  Enough editorializing.

The song is recorded in Bb.  To make it easier to play, put a capo on fret 3 and play this:

Intro:
G  G/F#  Em  C  D    G  G/F#  Em  C  D7

Verse:
(Em) first . . . (Am)paradise . . . (D)you . . . (G)me  (G/F#)
(Em) I . . . (Am)eyes . . . (D)what . . . (G)dream
(C) I . . . (D)give my heart . . . (Bm) try . . . (Em) you
Oh (Am) help . . . (Dsus4)true (D)

Chorus:
(C)take . . . a(D)bove . . . (Bm)never . . . (Em)one
Every(Am)body . . . (D) heart . . . (G) first . . . (G7)last
(C)take . . . a(D)bove . . . (Bm)my . . . e(Em)nough
You will (Am) never . . . (D) me . . . (G) first, my (G/F#)desti(G)ny

Then another verse and choris.

Then the outro starting at 3:23 which goes:  Am  D  C Bb  G

And that's it.  It's what I hear, anyway.


If you want play it without a capo and still be in the same key as the recording, transpose all of those chords +3.

EDIT:  Sorry, I couldn't resist another editorial comment.  I'm no songwriter, but this song structure is just "off" in my opinion.  It ends too abruptly.  I think the song would have been MUCH improved if after the second verse and chorus, they would have added a bridge into a solo (which follows at least the first half of the chorus chords) and then a final chorus before going to that outro.  But that's just me.  I'm thinking about this too much.  I'm done.

The easiest way I can describe it:   If you're listening to a song and hear a part (for example) between the verse and the chorus, or between a solo and a chorus which sounds "out of place", then that's a bridge.

Example:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O04o9OE3iJQ

Listen to the part between 0:45 and 0.53.
