Charlie Darwin – The Low Anthem

C F

Set the sails I feel the winds a’stirring

Am G

Toward the bright horizon set the way

C F

Cast your wreckless dreams upon our Mayflower

G F C

Haven from the world and her decay

C F

And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin

Am G

Fighting for a system built to fail

C F

Spooning water from their broken vessels

G F C

As far as I can see there is no land

F C E7 Am G

Oh my god, the water’sall around us

F C G C

Oh my god, it’s all around

F C E7 Am C F G C

C F

And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin

Am G

The lords of war just profit from decay

C F

And trade their children’s promise for the jingle

G F C

The way we trade our hard earned time for pay

F C E7 Am G

Oh my god, the water’s cold and shapeless

F C G C

Oh my god, it’s all around

F C E7 Am G

Oh my god, life is cold and formless

F C G C

Oh my god, it’s all around

F C E7 Am C F G C (G C)

Enjoy.

I’m just starting to learn ukulele and I really want to learn “Ukulele Me” by Stephin Merritt on his Showtunes album. Does anyone know what chords are used? I have a terrible ear for these things and can’t figure it out. Thanks!

Lyrics

I could be loud man, I could be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I could be a gentleman, or I could be violent
I could turn hot man or I could be cold
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy
Waitin’ for all hell yeah to break loose
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn’t mean that I don’t believe in the noose
So I’m singing …

(La bom bom bom bom, bom bom bom bom, bom bom bom bom bom ect)

I could be rich like a wandering gypsy
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
I could be the first man or I could come last
It’s not who breaks the ribbon boy it’s how you get across
I could be red, blue, black or white sunset
As dark as a day boy or bright as a night
I could be the sun boy or I could be the moon
I made it from the stars so I’m shining so bright
So I’m singing…

I could be asleep boy, or I could be awake
I could be alive man or be the walking dead
I could be ignorant or I could be informed
I could lead my life man or I could be lead
I could be anything I put my mind to boy
All I gotta do is give myself a half-a chance
I could bring love back into my life
And share it with the world if I got some balance

Owls by Cocoon (Chords)

Owls by Cocoon (Chords)

By: jer989

Strum pattern is pretty easy to get from listening to the song – I believe that it’s 6 strums for all but the last of both the verse and chorus chords – the last chords get 7 strums. Also, on the last strum of the Aadd9 chord [2102] during the verse, I think it sounds right to lift up your finger on the ‘A’ string to briefly make an A chord [2100] before changing to the final B chord.

Check out the live version of the song on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF4uv4a3m8k

Have fun with it! – and please comment if you think it can be improved.

She lost a treasure there …treasure there
In the forest’s heart…forest’s heart
She lost a treasure there…treasure there
She can’t remember what

She’s a queen, she’s a queen
And her anger grows
She’s a queen, she’s a queen
And I’m breeding owls

I’ve been hunting bears…hunting bears
In the forest’s heart…In the forest’s heart
I found a long black hair…a long black hair
She just took it back !

She’s a queen, she’s a queen
And her anger grows
She’s a queen, she’s a queen
And I’m breeding owls

Laura Veirs – Spelunking

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

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

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!
