[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
C

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]

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 ...

Parokya ni Edgar - Harana

20160630: Learning to play this song was interesting because I was practicing a lot and yet I was unable to play it by myself without the original song playing in the background. Eventually, however, it all just clicked. I started playing at a continuous rhythm and I sang at the proper pace. There were still a couple of hiccups along the way, but I was amazed at how smooth I managed to both play and sing the song. There were also some realizations made when it came to simplifying the guitar part, because I couldn't handle the complicated strumming while also singing. Another part was knowing the chord progression and not forcing it to go over specific words. Said differently, I succeeded when playing and singing to a lyrics-only page (as opposed to a lyrics-and-chords page). Unfortunately, since it's not in English, it'll be a long time before I can memorize the lyrics on my own. In fact, I can hardly remember lyrics for songs which are in English (unless they're my ...

Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight

20101222: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/e/eagle_eye_cherry/save_tonight_ver2_tab.htm The song is simply: Am F C G. What takes a little getting used to is the moments to sing. The key is to start certain sentences before the start of the next strum, not the start of the previous strum. It is perhaps easiest to get accustomed to this by starting with the chorus. Chorus lyrics are easy: Save tonight. Fight the break of dawn. Come tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll be gone. Repeat twice. Come and close the curtains, we have enough light, all we need is candle light. Let's drink wine. I'm going away. So let's drink the wine and delay our misery. Third verse: Fire, desire Fourth verse: Ain't easy to say goodbye. 20110302: I've gotten used to playing the rhythm and singing if I look at the lyrics. Now its a matter of memorizing this simple progression and memorizing the lyrics. I suppose the difficulty for me is that most songs I think about, I want to go fro...
