Stay With Me - Sam Smith - chords and lyrics

What's not to like about this song?
A work colleague played this song for me on her device and I thought it would be good to have a crack at playing "Stay With Me" on guitar. So, why not share the effort with other guitar players looking to learn it as well...
Two options for you here - one without Capo and the other with Capo on 5.

Head on over to Sam's website to view this song ft. Mary J. Blige

And check out this arrangement from "Babs" -
who says it's only 'young people' who can ace a current cover song?... :-D

Stay With Me - Option 1 - no Capo

Intro: C - F - C - F - Dm - G

Am                           F                           C
Guess it's true I'm not good at a one night stand
Am                F                         C
But I still need love coz I'm just a man
Am                      F                   C
These nights never seem to go to plan
Am                      G                                 C
I don't want you to leave - will you hold my hand
                  Am  F       C
Oh won't you stay with me
               Am F C
Coz you're all I need
               Am        F         C
This ain't love - it's clear to see
                 Am F      C
But darling, stay with me
Am        F              C
Why am I so emotional
Am                       F                              C
No it's not a good look - gain some self control
Am                 F                    C
Deep down I know this never works
Am                             G                       C
But you could lay with me so it doesn't hurt
                  Am  F       C
Oh won't you stay with me
               Am F C
Coz you're all I need
               Am        F         C
This ain't love - it's clear to see
                 Am F      C
But darling, stay with me

Am - F - C - Am - F - C - Am - F - C - Am - G - C

oh oh ho ohh oh....

                  Am  F       C
Oh won't you stay with me
               Am F C
Coz you're all I need
               Am        F         C
This ain't love - it's clear to see
                 Am F      C
But darling, stay with me

                  Am  F       C
Oh won't you stay with me
               Am F C
Coz you're all I need
               Am        F         C
This ain't love - it's clear to see
                 Am F      C
But darling, stay with me

So that's it for that part. 

And the strumming I've been told is:

Down - Down -Down -  Down - Up

But if you get a bit un-co like me - just strum intuitively to what sounds ok to your ears. When your pets run a mile or your goldfish start swimming crazy, then you know you need more practice :-)

If you like a Ukulele/Mandolin sound to your guitar playing, then slap your Capo on the 5th fret and sing away to these chords:

Stay With Me - Option 2

This ain't love - it's clear to see
                 Em C      G
But darling, stay with me

Say Something by A Great Big World - chords and lyrics

Heard this song on the radio the other day and knew instantly that I'd have to add it to my digital songbook4guitar...

The band - A Great Big World, released the song as a single in Sept 2013.
By November, it was re-released with Christina Aguilera - and has since "taken off"

This is the no Capo version (Bm-G-D-A) , but if you like the Capo'd sound - feel free to slap your Capo on 2 and play Am-F-C-G - - - or go further down to Capo on 7 and play Em-C-G-D to give you that Ukulele sound.

Say Something by A Great Big World Ft. Christina Aguilera

Bm                G                       D       A 
Say something I'm giving up on you
Bm            G                        D       A 
I'll be the one if you want me to
Bm           G                                D       A 
Anywhere I would have followed you
Bm                G                       D       A 
Say something I'm giving up on you
      D                     F#m
And I am feeling so small
          G
It was over my head
                           D   A
I know nothing at all
      D                         F#m
And I will stumble and fall
           G
I'm still learning to love
                       D       A
Just starting to crawl
Bm                G                       D       A 
Say something I'm giving up on you
Bm               G                       D       A 
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Bm          G                                D       A 
Anywhere I would have followed you
Bm                G                       D       A 
Say something I'm giving up on you
       D                         F#m
And I will swallow my pride
                 G
You're the one that I love
                              D      A
And I'm saying goodbye
Bm                G                       D       A 
Say something I'm giving up on you
Bm            G                        D       A 
I'll be the one if you want me to
Bm           G                                D       A 
Anywhere I would have followed you
Bm                G                       D       A 
Say something I'm giving up on you
Bm                G                       D       A 
Say something I'm giving up on you
Bm                 G   D
Say something

All Of Me - John Legend - chords and lyrics

This song appeared twice in the same week on my feed, so I thought I'd add it to this Songbook. Nice easy chords you can play, with or without a Capo - though a Capo sounds better. It's a longer playing song than most, but enjoy...

All Of Me by John Legend

Capo on 1

Em - C - G - D

Em               C                             G
What would I do without your smart mouth
                 D                             Em
Drawing me in and you kicking me out
           C                    G  
Got my head spinning - no kidding 
  D                 Em
I can't pin you down
                   C                          G
What's going on in that beautiful mind 
                D                      Em
I'm on your magical mystery ride
           C                     G
And I'm so dizzy - don't know what hit me
      D          Am
But I'll be alright
     Am              G
My head's under water
      D                 Am

Even when you're crying - you're beautiful too
                 C                 G
The world is beating you down
        D                          Em

You're my downfall - you're my muse
              D                                    Em
My worst distraction - my rhythm and blues
                 C
I can't stop singing

It's ringing in my head for you
     Am              G

Cards on the table - we're both showing hearts
