Florence & the Machine – Kiss With A Fist (Chords)

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.

Buy Florence & the Machine

    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 :)

  9. Woodshed February 2nd, 2009 9:29 pm

    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’.

    i’m new to the uke and i love this band. Some guidance on figuring out the strumming pattern?

  13. Alistair March 21st, 2010 10:09 pm

    What’s the stumming pattern? That’d really help me out as I can’t strum for toffee.

  14. Laurahh April 11th, 2010 8:37 pm

    Eh.. Is it down-down-up-up-down-up over and over really fast? Don’t take my word on it though, I’m relatively new to the game too ;D

  15. Woodshed April 14th, 2010 7:44 am

    Laurah: Yep, that would work.

  16. monkeyman June 13th, 2010 9:05 pm
