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.

Wake Me Up by Avicii - chords and lyrics

I wouldn't have a clue what category of music genre this song fits into, but the beat and melody should have you tapping your feet and slapping your guitar strings with gusto. Nice easy chords too - they follow the same sequence throughout the song, and try as I might to get them published on the blog at the right spot - sometimes they don't land up at exactly the right spot... Use your ear to guide you

Wake Me Up  by  Avicii


Bm - G - D - A

Bm            G                      D
Feeling my way through the darkness
Bm      G                 D
Guided by a beating heart
Bm      G                     D
I can't tell where the journey will end
Bm     G                   D
But I know where to start
Bm              G                      D
They tell me I'm too young to understand
Bm               G                   D
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Bm             G                      D             (A)
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Bm          G          D
Well that's fine by me

                   Bm         G       D  A
So wake me up when it's all over
                Bm    G         D  A
When I'm wiser and I'm older
           Bm           G         D  A
All this time I was finding myself - and I
Bm     G               D  A
Didn't know I was lost
                   Bm         G       D  A
So wake me up when it's all over
                Bm    G         D  A
When I'm wiser and I'm older
           Bm           G         D  A
All this time I was finding myself - and I
Bm     G               D  A
Didn't know I was lost

Bm A (a few times)

Bm            G                      D
I tried carrying the weight of the world
Bm     G                  D
But I only have two hands
Bm       G                       D
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
Bm    G                   D
But I don't have any plans
Bm            G                          D
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Bm            G              D
Not afraid to close my eyes
Bm      G                      D
Life's a game made for everyone
Bm  G             D
And love is the prize

                   Bm         G       D  A
So wake me up when it's all over
                Bm    G         D  A
When I'm wiser and I'm older
           Bm           G         D  A
All this time I was finding myself - and I
Bm     G               D  A
Didn't know I was lost
                   Bm         G       D  A
So wake me up when it's all over
                Bm    G         D  A
When I'm wiser and I'm older
           Bm           G         D  A
All this time I was finding myself - and I
Bm      G                D
I didn't know I was lost
Bm      G                D
I didn't know I was lost
Bm      G                D
I didn't know I was lost
Bm      G                D
I didn't know I was lost
Bm      G                D
I didn't know I

I didn't know I - I didn't know I


- And after I did all that, I happened to chance upon this vid that explains how to play it. By none other than the man who co-wrote the song - Michael Einziger -
