[20150921][20191223 Edit]
I found information here on the word "stóirín":
Mo stoirín (pronounced mu store -een) This is translated as my “little darling”. Stór is the Irish word for my love/my darling so by adding the een onto the end it becomes my little darling.

INTRO

VERSE 1
C           Am      G                   Am
Hush now my stóirín Close your eyes and sleep
C            Am    G             G
Waltzing the waves Diving in the deep
C                 Am         G              Am
Stars are shining bright The wind is on the rise
C          Am       G              C
Whispering words of long lost lullabies

CHORUS
             F         C
Oh won't you come with me?
          C               G
Where the moon is made of gold
           F       C
And in the morning sun
G           G
We'll be sailing
Em           F         C
Oh won't you come with me
          C               G
Where the ocean meets the sky
           F           C
And as the clouds roll by
      G                    C
We'll sing the song of the sea


VERSE 2
  C                Am        G                  Am
I had a dream last night And heard the sweetest sound
  C                 Am        G              G
I saw a great white light and dancers in the round
C              Am   G              F
Castles in the sand Cradles in the trees
C            G              C
Don't cry, I see you by and by


[CHORUS]

Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else But You [Duet]

20100307: It's a simple song, just two chords. So the focus is on the lyrics. But the song is best with two people as its done by the band. This way, the song is a sort of conversation. And plus, from one verse to the other, the "But you" leads into slightly into the next verse. The tabber below starts the Cmaj7 at "But you" but I feel the Cmaj7 starts at "in anyone else." ::shrug:: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/moldy_peaches/anyone_else_but_you_crd.htm 20110324: I concur with my above opinion about when to start the Cmaj7. Actually it's not a matter of when to start it, it simply starts there due to the timing of the song. As I sort of said above, the "But you" comes in near the end of the measure, perhaps on beat four. If this was done in a pair, the person singing "But you" can carry the note for a couple extra beats. Doing the piece solo, one option is just to play an extra G and Cmaj7 before starting the next ...

Everclear - Wonderful

Played 20100101: This was an easy enough song, that before looking at the tab, I knew the first chord is G, and that the key was in G, and that the other two chords would be D and C, and was pretty sure on the G D C D progression. But not entirely. Though I knew it didn't sound like Brown-Eyed Girl, so it wasn't a G C G D progression. And the music was lively enough to not contain an Am or Em. The Dsus4 does sound better than the D, but I wonder if it should replace the second D as well. G Dsus4 C Dsus4 instead of the below G Dsus4 C D. ::shrug:: If just playing the guitar part as done in the song, the strumming is Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum... where the two strums are strumming one chord from the previous and then the next, i.e., G, G D, D C, C D, D G, etc. But when playing alone, or with only guitars, it's better to be a little creative to fill in the blanks. I seem to be doing D D D DU UD. But I don't know how that's happening because I'm ...

Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights

20160127: It's been a long time since I first looked at this song and I've learned many things since that time. Looking at the tab below, I'd start by just practicing the following chord progression: C, C, G, G, F, F, C, G. It is sufficient to strum and sing along with these chords. Then a simple finger-picking patter can spruce it up and a provides a good opportunity to practice timing the vocals. Finally, before playing the song as tabbed below, I'd start with the following simplification: C e|-------0---------|------[-]--------| B|-1-------------1-|-------1-------1-| G|---0-------0-----|---0-------0-----| D|-----2-------2---|-----2-------2---| A|-3-------3-------|-3-------3-------| E|-----------------|-----------------| _| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | G e|-------3---------|------[-]--------| B|-0-------------0-|-------0-------0-| G|---0-------0-----|---0-------0-----| D|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---| A|-----------------|-----------...
