Imagine Dragons - Demons (Live in Stockholm) - with chords and lyrics



I've heard this song a few times on the radio before but only now decided to try playing it out myself.
When I play it, my Capo is slapped on 3. So if you don't have a Capo - the chords should work just as well.
I haven't yet played it with my guitar to the video (solo 'performances' only thus far...)
The lyrics below are from the video above - so some words are missing. (Unless you are OCD - it shouldn't bother you)

DEMONS by Imagine Dragons


C  -  G  -  Am  - Fmaj7    -  twice

               C
When the days are cold
             G
And the cards all fold
             Am
And the saints we see
          Fmaj7
Are all made of gold
C
Dreams all fail
             G
And the one's we hail
            Am
Are the worst of all
            Fmaj7                C
And the blood's run stale
                            G
I wanna hide the truth
                         Am
I wanna shelter you
                             Fmaj7
Oh with the beast inside
                                      C
There's nowhere we can hide
                               G
No matter what we breed
                                 Am
We still are made of greed
                                  Fmaj7
This is my kingdom come
                            C
This is my kingdom (come)
                             G
When you feel my heat
                        Am
Look into my eyes
                                   Fmaj7
It's where my demons hide
                                   C
It's where my demons hide
                         G
Don't get too close
                  Am
It's dark inside
                                   Fmaj7
It's where my demons hide
                                   C
It's where my demons hide
           C
At the curtain's call
         G
Is the last of all
               Am
When the lights fade out
           Fmaj7
All the sinners crawl
         C
They dug your grave
        G
And masquerade
          Am
Come calling out
         Fmaj7              C
In the mess you made
                                   G
I don't want to let you down
                         Am
But I am hell-bound
                                  Fmaj7
Though this is all for you
                                      C
I don't wanna hide the truth
                               G
No matter what we breed
                                 Am
We still are made of greed
                                  Fmaj7
This is my kingdom come
                            C
This is my kingdom (come)
                             G
When you feel my heat
                        Am
Look into my eyes
                                   Fmaj7
It's where my demons hide
                                   C
It's where my demons hide
                         G
Don't get too close
                  Am
It's dark inside
                                   Fmaj7
It's where my demons hide
                                   C
It's where my demons hide
                                      G
They say it's what you make
                        Am  
I say it's up to fate
                             Fmaj7
It's woven in my soul
                           C
I need to let you go
                                            G
Your eyes - they shine so bright
                               Am
I want to save that light
                              Fmaj7
I can't escape this now
                                   C
Unless you show me how
                             G
When you feel my heat
                        Am
Look into my eyes
                                   Fmaj7
It's where my demons hide
                                   C
It's where my demons hide
                         G
Don't get too close
                  Am
It's dark inside
                                   Fmaj7
It's where my demons hide
                                   C
It's where my demons hide

May It Be - chords and lyrics

It's that 'lull' just after Christmas and with time on my hands, I've found myself playing a lot more guitar. The Mrs likes this Celtic-style song, "May It Be", so I've been playing it for her. Now here it is - on my blog to have access to wherever in the world we find ourselves. If you have the song handy, and your guitar is in standard tuning - you can play along whilst it is playing...
One day I hope to be able to play this on pan-flute.

May It Be

First thing, Capo on 2

Em                           C
May it be an evening star
G                     D
Shines down upon you
Em                                 C
May it be when darkness falls
G                        D
Your heart will be true
        C                 G
You walk a lonely road
            Am                     D
Oh how far you are from home
G     Em   C     D
M-ornie    Utuli"e
G               C          Am         D
Believe and you will find your way
G     Em    C      D
M-ornie    Alan-ti"e
G        Em       Am           D
A promise lives within you now
Em                              C
May it be the shadows call
       G      D
Will fly away
Em                              C
May it be your journey on
     G           D
To li-ght the day
               C                D
When the night is overcome
              Am                 D
You may rise to find the sun
G     Em   C     D
M-ornie    Utuli"e
G               C          Am         D
Believe and you will find your way
G     Em    C      D
M-ornie    Alan-ti"e
G        Em       Am           D
A promise lives within you now
G        Em       Am      D   G    
A promise lives within you now

To Make You Feel My Love - Bob Dylan - chords and lyrics - 2 options

Words and music by Bob Dylan and a song that has been sung by many -more recently and most famously by Adele. Here I have two options of chords for you to play along with - both songs requiring a Capo...If stretching your fingers out to play the C#7 chord doesn't appeal to you, then stay with the first option. Have fun...

To Make You Feel My Love - Option 1

Capo on 3

G                                   D
When the rain is blowing in your face
F                                 C
And the whole world is on your case
Cm                        G
I would offer you a warm embrace
A7               D7        G
To make you feel my love
G                                              D
When evening shadows and the stars appear
F                                       C
And there's no one there to dry your tears
Cm                           G
I could hold you for a million years
A7               D7        G
To make you feel my love
C                                           G
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
B7              C                  G
But I would never do you wrong
C                                            G
I've known it from the moment that we met
A7                                            D7
No doubt in my mind where you belong
G                           D
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue
F                                   C
I'd go crawling down the Avenue
Cm                          G
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
A7               D7        G
To make you feel my love

- G  D  F  C  Cm  G  A7  D7  G

C                                        G
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
B7              C                G
And on the highway of regret
C                                               G
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
A7                                        D7  C/D
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
G                                                   D
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
F                             C
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Cm                          G
Go to the ends of the earth for you
A7               D7        G
To make you feel my love
Cm                          G
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
A7               D7        G
To make you feel my love


Option 2 below is my preferred choice - but choose the one that YOU'RE comfortable playing - and the one which better suits your voice... Remember - No chord is really too difficult to learn - it's just a matter of a little bit of practice. The difference between being ordinary or extraordinary? - is that LITTLE BIT extra.
