Be Still - The Fray - cover sung by Babs



I found "Babs" on YouTube recently when watching different versions of Songbird.
Then I found this song...

It was written by Isaac Slade (The Fray vocalist) as a lullaby for his little brother and comes off their album, Scars & Stories released in February 2012.
Enjoy


Be Still – The Fray – chords and lyrics

Intro: G  D  Am Em C

      G         D             Am        Em
Be still and know that I'm with you
      G         D             C     G
Be still and know that I am here
      G         D             Am        Em
Be still and know that I'm with you
      G         D          G
Be still, be still, and know

           G           D        Am    Em
When darkness comes upon you
        G        D           C           G
And covers you with fear and shame
      G         D             Am        Em
Be still and know that I'm with you
       G       D          G
And I will say your name

    C               Em
If terror falls upon your bed
        G                      D
And sleep no longer comes
     G          D       Am        Em
Remember all the words I said
      G         D         G
Be still, be still, and know

                G         D              Am Em
And when you go through the valley
              G         D                 C           G
And the shadow comes down from the hill
    G         D       Am         Em
If morning never comes to be
      G         D        G
Be still, be still, be still

    C                  Em
If you forget the way to go
        G                             D
And lose where you came from
    G           D              Am   Em
If no one is standing beside you
      G         D         G
Be still and know I am

      G         D             Am       Em
Be still and know that I'm with you
      G         D         G
Be still and know I am

I Think of You - Sixto Rodriguez - chords and lyrics


One of his more mellow songs - here is a love song for all you romantics... It's straight from my handwritten songbook onto here.

July 2013 - I just found this awesome cover by Anna Carow.
Check her out and buy her debut album on iTunes.:-)



If you want to see all the chords and song lyrics of Rodriguez I have on my blog - scroll down and click on the Label: "Sixto Rodriguez" - at the bottom of this post


I Think Of You  by  Rodriguez


                    Amaj7
Just a song we shared, I'll hear
Dmaj7
Brings memories back when you were here
Amaj7
Of your smile, your easy laughter
Dmaj7
Of your kiss, those moments after
  Amaj7
I think of you,
      Dmaj7
and think of you
      Amaj7                   Dmaj7
and think of you.

 Amaj7
Of the dreams we dreamt together
Dmaj7
Of the love we vowed would never
Amaj7
Melt like snowflakes in the sun
Dmaj7
My days now end as they begun
         Amaj7
With thoughts of you,
Dmaj7
and I think of you
Amaj7
and think of you.

D               Dmaj7                     C#m
Down the streets I walked with you
 Dmaj7          C#m                   E
Seeing others doing things we do

Amaj7
Now these thoughts are haunting me
Dmaj7
Of how complete I used to be
Amaj7
And in these times that we're apart
Dmaj7
I'll hear this song that breaks my heart
Amaj7
And think of you
Dmaj7
And I think of you
Amaj7
And think of you
Dmaj7
and think of you
Amaj7
And I do

Dmaj7, Amaj7

I won't let you go - James Morrison - chords and lyrics



I've only just been reminded of this song so thought it worthy of putting on my web songbook...
It took a few goes of strumming and plucking along to the song to get a 'feel' for it.
I've still got a few more practice plays to 'endure' before I'd feel comfortable singing this one to an audience that aren't a dog or a cat :-)

I won’t let you go  -  James Morrison
          C
When it's black
                            Am 
Take a little time to hold yourself
                            F
Take a little time to feel around
               C 
Before it's gone
C                                                      Am 
You won't let go, but you still keep on falling down
                              F 
Remember how you saved me now
                      C
From all of my wrongs

Chorus:

And if there's love just feel it
                              Am 
And if there's life we'll see it
                                       F
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
G                  C 
I won't let you go

C                                                                 Am
Say those words, say those words like there's nothing else
                                     F                                    C 
Close your eyes and you might believe that there is some way out
C                                Am 
Open up; open up your heart to me now
                     F 
Let it all come pouring out
                                 C 
There's nothing I can't ta_ke yeah


C
And if there's love just feel it
                              Am 
And if there's life we'll see it
                                        F 
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
G                 C 
I won't let you go

C
And if your sky falling
                           Am 
Just take my hand and hold it
                                         F
You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah
G                  C
I won't let you go

                F            G               C
And if you feel the failing of the light
                       F           G               C 
And you're too weak to carry on the fight
                   F                G                             Am 
And all your friends that you count on have disappeared
        C                        F                   C 
I'll be here now darling, forever, holding on

Woah


C
And if there's love just feel it
                               Am 
And if there's life we'll see it
                                       F 
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
G                  C 
I won't let you go

C
And if your sky falling
                            Am 
Just take my hand and hold it
                                         F 
You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah
G                  C
I won't let you go

Woah no, no

C
I won't let you go, no I won’t let

I won't let you go, no I won’t let
C                              F                    C
I won't let you go; no I won’t let you go
