To Love Somebody - Ray Lamontagne & Damien Rice - Chords and Lyrics -

Originally sung by the Bee Gee’s – I quite enjoy this version of “To Love Somebody” by Ray Lamontagne & Damien Rice and I reckon every songbook4guitar should have this one in it.

Chords: G-Am-C-F-D




G

               There is a light

               Am

               A certain kind of light

               C                              G

               That never shone on me

               F                 G

               I wanted my life to be

                             D

               Live with you

                             C

               Live with you

              

G            There is a way

Am         Everybody says

C-G        Do each and every thing

F-G        Oh but what good does it bring

D            If I ain't got you

C            If I ain't got... baby

chorus

G                        D

               You don't know what it's like

                      C                                      G 

               Baby, you don't know what it's like

                            D

               To love somebody

                            C

               To love somebody

                          G

               The way I love you

G            In my brain

Am         I see your face again

C-G        I know my frame of mind

F-G        How you got to be so unkind

D-C        And I'm blind, have I grown blind

G-Am     But I'm a man, can't you see what I am

C-G        I live and I breathe for you

F-G        Oh but what good does it do

D            If I ain't got you

C            If I ain't got... baby

repeat chorus

San Francisco Bay Blues - Eric Clapton - chords lyrics

This week I put in my Eric Clapton cd and was drawn to strumming along to THIS song on my guitar with the original track playing. Just a pity I didn’t have a duck-caller…

Checking out some clips on You Tube of San Francisco Bay Blues, I was surprised to see so many different artists singing it in so many differering styles.

But, here is the song – chords and lyrics - from Eric Clapton’s “Unplugged” album 1992.


Chords: C-F-C7-A-D-G7-E7

I got the [C]blues from my baby down

[F]by the San Francisco [C]Bay[C7]

Where the [F]ocean liners, they aren't so far a[C]way[C7]

 [F]I didn't mean to treat her [C]so bad

she was the [A]best girl I ever have had

[D]Said goodbye, had to take a cry

[G7]I wanna lay down and die

I [C]ain't got a nickel and I [F]ain't got a lousy dime.[C] [C7]

If she [F]don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my [E7]mind.

 [F]If I ever get back to [C]stay

it's [A]gonna be another brand new day,

[D]Walkin' with my baby down

[G7]by the San Francisco [C]Bay[G7]

Sittin' down lookin' from my back door

wondrin' which way to go

The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more

Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue

I'll ride all the way to the end of the line, thinkin' only of you

Meanwhile, livin' in the city, thinkin' I'll go insane

Thought I heard my baby's voice

the way she used to call my name

If I ever get back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day

Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay, hey hey

Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

Yeah, walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

Ends on a C7

for the ending, just repeat D, G7, C, and A7 until the final

flourish of C F C

Adele - Someone Like You - Chords and Lyrics

I quite enjoyed playing this song. 

Nice easy chords and interesting to sing.
If you've got a capo, don't be shy to use it - try going down the frets till the sound matches your voice

I also found two versions on YouTube I rather enjoyed as well, so here they are:

This first one is by Danny Hilton
I reckon the best male version I've heard of this song

and this one by The Draymin - 
with a bit of a techno version to it:

          Em

        C

      G

you'd know

        D

how the time flies

     Em

only yesterday

        C

it was the time of our lives

        G

we were born and raised

    D

in a summer haze

      Em

bound by the surprise

       C

of our glory days

  Am                         C

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
