Counting Stars by OneRepublic - chords and lyrics

A work colleague of mine told me about this song by OneRepublic the other day - and ever since I've been trying it out with my gheetaah. Maybe I'll add a YouTube clip when I finally master the high notes of Counting Stars. In the meantime, here are the chords and lyrics (lyrics as they sound to me) for you to play along with.

Am C G
(and) I_I feel something so wrong
F
(for) Doing the right thing

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Summer Of My Dreams Ft chords lyrics

In this hemisphere it's winter, so whilst I was thinking of summer days and memories, this song came to mind...

The Summer of My Dreams

In the D shade of this old G tree
In A7 the summer of my D dreams
By the Bm tall grass, by the A wild rose
Where G the trees dance, and the A7 wind blows
As D the days go oh-so-A7- G slowly
As A7 the sun shines oh-so-D holy
On the D good and gracious G green
In the D summer A7 of my D dreams

By the D banks of this old G stream
In the A7 summer of my D dreams
By the Bm deep pool, where the A fish wait
For the G old fool with the A7 wrong bait
There's a D field of purple A7- G clover
There's a A7 small cloud passing D over
And then the rain comes washing G clean
In the D summer A7 of my D dreams

See the F# raindrops on the Bm grass now
Just like F# diamonds lying Bm there
By the E old road where I A pass now
There's a E twilight in the A A7air...
And as D the sun sets down A7 before me
I see my A7 true love waiting for D me
Standing by D the back porch G screen
In the D summer A7 of my D dreams

In the D shade of this old G tree
In A7 the summer of my D dreams
By the Bm tall grass, by the A wild rose
Where the G trees dance, and the A7 beans grow
As D the days go oh-so- A7 slowly
As the A7 sun shines oh-so- D holy
On the D good and gracious green
In the summer A7 of my dreams
In the D summer A7 of my D dreams

Royals by Lorde - chords and lyrics - cover

If you haven't heard of Lorde yet, you soon will. This young singer/songwriter from New Zealand has a wisdom beyond her years that will see her talent be a global success story.
Check out some more of her music and then really support her by buying her stuff.

This is the (male) version - though the chords in brackets are not :-). The second verse is below...

And if you want to see how to totally ACE a cover, then check out Laura Zocca's version below.
I recon it's the best cover of Royals

ROYALS

D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
(C) (G)
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
D (C)
And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
G
No postcode envy

D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns (tuxedos), trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G
Let me live that fantasy

D
My friends and I we've cracked the code
(C) (G)
We count our dollars on the train to the party
D (C)
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
(G)
We didn't come from money

D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns (tuxedos), trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
    D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

  D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
  D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
  C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy

D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
G
And I'm in love with being queen (king)
D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
Life's a game without a care
G
We aren't caught up in your love affair
  D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
  D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
  C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy
