VERSE 1
[C]Don't you worry there my honey
[F]We might not have any money
[Am]But we've got our love to pay the
[F]bills

[C]Maybe I think you're cute and funny
[F]Maybe I wanna do what bunnies
[Am]Do with you if you know what I
[F]mean

CHORUS
Oh lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up [C]there, you and [F]I, [G]you and [C]I

VERSE 2
Well you might be a bit confused
And you might be a little bit bruised
But baby how we spoon like no one
else

So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
And we will put the lonesome on the
shelf

CHORUS

CHORUS with no chords

UkuleleHunt.com Information:
The chords are pretty simple and ideal for beginners. She does use the less common variations of F and Am (with the A string at the third fret). But if you find that tricky, use the ones you’re familiar with.

Suggested Strumming:
d – d u – u d u

Play it twice for each chord in the verses and once for each chord in the chorus. An exception is in the, “You and I/You and I” where you do d – d u once each for the F and G chords.

Remark:
The main mistake I made on trying to learn this song initially was strumming d - d u - u d - instead of d - d u - u d u. Playing it as d - d u - u d u definitely opens the flow to playing F and G combo at the end of the chorus as d - d u d - d u. If you play d - d u - u d - then somehow the F and G combo sounds better as dF - dF uG - uG dG -. Strange.

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

Image
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/bruno_mars/the_lazy_song_crd_992284id_01102010date.htm With this tab, strum up twice on each chords. Except perhaps the occasional need to strum four times. Strumming down works. Or sometimes strumming to imitate the whistling works. I didn't want to go through and memorize it at the moment because I didn't want to spend to much time feeling it out. But the chorus is B F# E repeated three times and then B D#m E. The song appears to be in the key of B major. B C# D# E F# G# A#. The tab writes Ebm instead of D#m.

The Calling - Wherever You Will Go [C2]

20100113: C G Am7 F C. 20100114: The intro is more easily done on an acoustic guitar where the neck is narrower which allows for use of thumb on the [1] and [3] on the sixth string during the F chord. Or, one could ignore the [0] on the third string and then barre an F chord and use the middle finger which would normally be on the fourth string and hover over the [3] on the sixth string. 20100115: Got a real capo yesterday, tried it a bid. So now I have three different capos. This one isn't bad, but just barely fits the classical guitar. I'll have to bring it to MD and see how it compares to my other two kinds. The F to C intro is hard, again due to the width of the neck of a classical, but I'm able to play and sing looking at the lyrics. I just have to try and remember the bridge. All the C, C', C'' business is mostly just variation that may or may not be discernible. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/calling/wherever_you_will_go_acoustic_crd.htm

Nolwenn Leroy - Song of the Sea (Lullaby)

Chord Analysis: Key C Progression a : I vi V vi I vi V V Progression a': I vi V vi I vi V I Progression b : [iii] IV I I V IV I V V Progression b': [iii] IV I I V IV I V I Verse 1: Prog a / Prog a' (single strum per chord) Chorus: Prog b / Prob b' (single strum with a few notes following) Verse 2: Same as Verse 1 (single strum with several notes following) Chorus Bridge: IV I I IV Chorus (Instrumental) Chorus Outro: I vi I [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.
