Three Rounds and a Sound - Blind Pilot - chords and lyrics

This is another song that I heard on TV as part of an advertisement - and thought it sounded pretty good. It's the background music to the current TV ad for Heartland Seniors Finance in New Zealand.
After a bit of sleuthing around, I found out that the song in the ad was sung by Auckland singer - Taine Buchan. Check his channel out on YouTube if you want to see more of his talent.
After a bit more research on the internet I found that 3 Rounds and a Sound was an original from the group, "Blind Pilot". This is the YouTube song I chose when writing the lyrics down from it - so the lyrics below might not be an exact take on the original. I write down what I hear. Then I get my guitar out and try and match the sound using easy chords.
So the original Key is: C#  Bb  Gmaj7  E
Putting the Capo on 1 gave me: C  Am  G  F
But if you want a more Ukulele sound, slap your Capo on 6 using: G  Em  D  C
Here goes...

3 Rounds and a Sound by Blind Pilot

Capo 1

C  Am  G  F

                          C                                    Am
They're playing our song, they're playing our song
              G                                   F                         C
Can you see the lights? Can you hear the hum of our song?
                   Am                        G                                     
I hope they get it right, I hope we dance tonight
                  F               
Before we get it wrong
           C                                    
And the seasons will change us new
                       Am    
But you're the best I've known, and you know me
                       G                      F 
I could not be stuck on you if that weren't true

C  Am  G  F

   C
I was swimming - my eyes were dark
             Am
'Til you woke me and told me that opening
    G                  F
Is just the start - It was
           C
Now I see you 'til kingdom come
                 Am
You're the one I want
                                   G                                    F    ?  ?                          
To see me for all the stupid things I've done
C                                 Am                          
Soil and six feet under, kept just like we were
G                                     F
 Before you knew you'd know me - And you know me
C                                            Am  
Blooming up from the ground - 3 rounds and a sound
G                               F
Like whispering you know me - And you know me

C  Am  G  F

                   C                           Am
So this was our song, this was our song
         G                            F
I still see the lights, I can see them
             C                                               Am  
And the crisscross of what is true won't get to us
                                                          G               F
Coz you know me - I could not give up on you   (wouldn't feel true)
              C                                      Am
And the fog of what is right won't cover us coz you know me
                  G                      F
I could not give up a fight   (wouldn't feel right)
C                                 Am                          
Soil and six feet under, kept just like we were
G                                     F
 Before you knew you'd know me - And you know me
C                                            Am  
Blooming up from the ground - 3 rounds and a sound
G                               F
Like whispering you know me - And you know me
C                                 Am                          
Soil and six feet under, kept just like we were
G                                     F
 Before you knew you'd know me - And you know me
C                                            Am  
Blooming up from the ground - 3 rounds and a sound
G                               F
Like whispering you know me - And you know me

C  Am  G  F

Wasn't Expecting That - Jamie Lawson - chords and lyrics

Jamie Lawson had a hit with this song in Ireland a few years back. Since then he's signed up with Ed Sheeran's new label and now the song is doing quite well in this part of the world.
It's a love song... apparently - and if you haven't yet heard it - I won't spoil the ending for you.
Happy playing. Nice easy chords and a good string-slapping tune as well. I didn't even have to do too much chord figuring out for this one since his video/s on YouTube show how it's done.

(Just a little note: G#m and Ab are the same chords by my understanding, so in this song I've put them down as Ab. Only sounds hard... Just play a normal E chord with bar chord on 4th fret)
I play this song with or without a Capo - but if you want to play along to the original - the sound coming out of your speakers, put your Capo on 6)

Wasn't Expecting That - Jamie Lawson

C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C  Am/G

C        Em          Am           G                    F
It was only a smile but my heart it went wild
F         G                        C      Am/G
 And I wasn't expecting that
C        Em       Am         G                     F
Just a delicate kiss, anyone could've missed
F      G                    C      G
 I wasn't expecting that
C       Em              Am                    G                   F
Did I misread the sign? your hand slipped into mine
F         G                        C      Am/G
 And I wasn't expecting that
C                       Em               Am        G                           F
(You) spent the night in my bed, you woke up and you said,
F         G                          C
Well I wasn't expecting that
Dm                                     Em             E7
And I thought love wasn't meant to last
F                   G                                     C
Oh I thought you were just passing through
Am                              Em
(And) if I ever get the nerve to ask
F                                               G                          G7
What did I get right to deserve somebody like you
                              C
I wasn't expecting that
C        Em            Am           G             F
It was only a word, it was almost misheard
F        G                        C      Am/G
Coz I wasn't expecting that
C        Em                 Am                 G                    F
But it came without fear - a month turned into a year
F          G                          C
(And) I wasn't expecting that
Dm                                    Em          E7
And I thought love wasn't meant to last
F                          G                                    C
Honey, I thought you were just passing through
Am                         Em
So if I ever get the nerve to ask
F                                                     G                          G7
What did I get right to deserve somebody like you
                              C
I wasn't expecting that

C  Em  Am  G  F  G  C  Am/G

G                   Ab        Am                                 F
Oh and isn't it strange   -   how a life can be changed
F                     G                             C
(With) In the flicker of the sweetest smile
G                            Ab      Am
   We were married in spring
Am                                              F
You know I wouldn't change a thing
F                                   G                                             G7
Without that innocent kiss - what a life I'd have missed
C              Em             Am             G             F
If you did not take a chance on a little romance
F           G                        C       Am/G
When I wasn't expecting that
C       Em               Am             G                 F
Time doesn't take long - three kids up and gone
F  G                        C       Am/G
I   wasn't expecting that
C                    Em                Am                G                   F
And when the nurses they came, said it's come back again
F  G                        C       Am/G
I   wasn't expecting that
C             Em               Am                  G                   F
Then you closed your eyes - took my heart by surprise
F        G                         C
And I wasn't expecting that

Let It Go - James Bay - chords lyrics

If you're looking for the song from the movie "Frozen" - this isn't it, but take some time to check out the song anyway since you're here :-)
I first heard James Bay singing his song, "Hold Back The River" in our supermarket. Well, not him personally entertaining the shoppers - it was over the instore speakers.
Thought to myself, "Hmmm, this sounds like a good song for trying out on guitar". I'm still mastering the quick chord changes on that one...
Then this week I heard "Let It Go" and decided it would be a Songbook addition. I can't do any fancy stuff on guitar but just by strumming down-strokes on the G-C-Em7-D bit - you can get it to sound half decent. Cover version to follow when I get time to record it...
Oh, and you'll need a Capo for this one - placed all the way down on the 6th fret if you want to play along to the original.

Let It Go - by James Bay

Capo on 6th

G-C-Em7-D  twice

G                                    C                    Em7     D
From walking home and talking loads
G                              C                               Em7     D
To seeing chirps in evening clothes with you
G                             C                          Em7     D
From nervous touch and getting drunk
G                          C                              Em7     D
To staying up and waking up with you
                         Em7
And now we're sleeping at the edge
D                                             C
Holding something we don't need
                 Em7
Oh this delusion in our heads
D                                        C
Is gonna bring us to our knees
                             C          G
So come on let it  go - o - o
                Em7       D
Just let it  be - e - e
                              C              G
Why don't you be  you - oo - oo
                  D
And I'll be me
                              C            G
Everything's that   bro - o - oke
                         Em7            D
Leave it to the  bree - ee - eez
                              C              G
Why don't you be  you - oo - oo
                  D
And I'll be me
D
And I'll be me

G - C - Em7 - D  twice

G                                    C                    Em7     D
From throwing clothes across the floor
G                                    C                                Em7     D
To teeth and clothes and slamming doors at you
G             C                        Em7     D
If this is all we're living for
G                                                   C                      Em7     D
Why aren't we doin' it - doin' it - doin' it - anymore ?
               Em7
I used to recognise myself
D                                       C
It's funny how reflections change
                        Em7
When we're becoming something else
D                                   C
I think it's time to walk away
                             C          G
So come on let it  go - o - o
                Em7       D
Just let it  be - e - e
                             C              G
Why don't you be  you - oo - oo
                  D
And I'll be me
                                    C            G
And everything's that   bro - o - oke
                        Em7            D
Leave it to the  bree - ee - eez
                              C              G
Why don't you be  you - oo - oo
                  D
And I'll be me
D                 G - C - Em7 - D  twice
And I'll be me
Am                                               Em7
Trying to fit your hand inside of mine
Em7
When we know it just don't belong
D
There's no force on earth
                                 C
Could make me feel right - no - wo ooh oh
Am                                               Em7
Trying to push this problem up the hill
Em7
When it's just too heavy to hold
D                                            C
Think now is the time to let it slide
                             C          G
So come on let it  go - o - o
                Em7       D
Just let it  be - e - e
                              C              G
Why don't you be  you - oo - oo
                  D
And I'll be me
                                     C            G
And everything's that   bro - o - oke
                         Em7            D
Leave it to the  bree - ee - eez
                        C          G
Let the ashes    fa - a - ll
                     D
Forget about me
                            C          G
So come on let it  go - o - o
                Em7       D
Just let it  be - e - e
                              C              G
Why don't you be  you - oo - oo
                  D
And I'll be me
D
And I'll be me

G - C - Em7 - D  twice  -  end on G

On Top Of The World - Mindy Smith Ft. Inland Sky - chords and lyrics - Valentines Day song

It's Valentines Day - so this is my simplified version for this song by Mindy Smith and Inland Sky - dedicated to my lovely wife.
It is the theme song from Michael Hill's, "We're For Love" ad campaign.



I'm not sure I totally agree with the message in their ad, but they definitely chose a good song. Watch the ad and make up your own mind.
I didn't buy my wife any jewellery this year, but think singing this song for her is a suitable gift.
Enjoy playing along....
Original key Eb - ...but I do easy chords :-)
