Emeli Sande - "Next To Me" (chords and lyrics)

This is where we first saw Emeli Sande (my computer won't type the ' on the e of her surname...) and my wife mentioned she "quite liked her singing voice" (note to self for Valentines Day...)

So, here are the chords and lyrics to "Next To Me" - easy peasy - Am - G - C - repeated throughout the song.

If you want to play this song at a slower pace, try using Capo on 5

Am    G    C
Am    G    C
Am                                      G           C
You wont find him drinking under the table
Am                                G           C
Rolling dice and staying out till three
Am                                 G           C
You wont ever find him being unfaithful
Am                                G                   C
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Am                                      G                 C
You wont find him trying to change the devil
Am                                       G           C
For money, fame, for power out of greed
Am                                  G           C
You wont ever find him where the rest go
Am                                G                   C
You will find him you'll find him next to me


Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                                G                   C
You will find him, you'll find him next to me

Am                                             G                          C
When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
Am                                      G                   C
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
Am                         G                     C
I know there's no need for me to panic
Am                             G                    C
Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
Am                                         G                        C
When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
Am                                          G               C
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
Am                                   G                            C
(But) all I need is a hand to stop the tears from falling
Am                     G                   C
I will find him, I'll find him next to me




Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me

Am                                              G                       C
When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
Am                                          G                  C
When we spoiled the land and dried up all the sea
Am                                         G                C
When everyone has lost their heads around us

Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me




Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me

Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am               G    C
Next to m_e ooooh
Am                        G                   C
I  will find him, I'll find him next to me

Paradise - Coldplay - chords and lyrics

I'm always keen to see how various covers of songs are done, and I reckon this one by Laura Zocca of Coldplay's "Paradise" is the best of the ones I've seen.

Check out her stream for more good songs she does...

Here are the chords and lyrics to 

Paradise - Coldplay

Intro:

Bm E F#m A (3x)

D A E/G# (2x)

Bm D A E (4x)

F#m                D

When she was just a girl,

A            E

She expected the world,

F#m                      D

But it flew away from her reach,

A                   E

So she ran away in her sleep.

  Bm              D

Dreamed of para-para-paradise,

A       E

Para-para-paradise,

Bm     D

Para-para-paradise,

A                      E

Every time she closed her eyes.

Bm D A E (2x)

D              A

When she was just a girl,

A              E

She expected the world,

D                        F#m

But it flew away from her reach,

F#m                     E

And bullets caught in her teeth.

Bm

Life goes on,

    D

It gets so heavy,

    A               E

The wheel breaks the butterfly.

Bm           D

Every tear, a waterfall.

D                A

In the night, the stormy night,

          E

She closed her eyes.

 D            A

In the night, the stormy night,

       E

Away she flied.

          Bm           D

And dreamed of para-para-paradise,

A        E

Para-para-paradise,

Bm      D

Para-para-paradise,

A           E

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh. (2x)

Bm E F#m A (4x)

D E A

Still lying underneath the stormy skies

She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

I know the sun's set to rise.

And dreamed of para-para-paradise,

A E

Para-para-paradise,
