Florence and the Machine – Kiss With A Fist (Chords)
A very strange year for me was 2008. It was the first time in history my Crush of the Year wasn’t a musician or Janeane Garofalo (24?) but Countdown champion, writer and bus-atheist Ariane Sherine.
But she hasn’t written any shouty, punk-pop songs so today’s post is about Florence & the Machine who distinguished herself by using ukes, covering Beirut and kicking ass.
Kiss With A Fist is a simple three chord slash-a-long. If you wanted to avoid the E chord, you could move everything up a fret so the chords are Bb, Eb and F.





Speaking of Countdown related crushes, Suzie Dent rocks my world.
p.s. I’m sorry my comments are never uke related.
Iain: Digress as much as you like.
As a bit of nerd lover, I’d agree. But don’t think much to the new numbers and letters girl.
I wish I could do that shouty pop punk thing. Fun song.
I think if you want to avoid the E chord this song works really well with the E7 instead. A D E7 is even easier than Bb Eb F.
Thanks for the suggestion, Tuscadero. That’d work.
This song sounds suspiciously like another…
A certain song by the White Stripes.

Calaco: Yeah, neither of them are going to win any awards for originality.
The chords for Dog Days are Over are just G, Am, Em…..I think :)
Thanks, Sarah, you’re bang on. I’m planning on writing up some of the parts and some point.
my only complaint is that I cant look at the chords and watch her dance around all at once. Yikes thats great
Joey: Oh, yes. You’ve gotta love the dancin’.
