Session 3: Breathless By The Corrs

Breathless:

Here is another easy song to play, mostly with regular chords. However, the challenging part about this is playing with a couple of bar chords and I have also played the intro with a couple of notes. Here is what my sister and I sound like:




The chords to this song are:

Breathless - The Corrs

N/C
Go on, Go on, leave me breathless... (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

Intro:
B B B B (with riff)
B F# C# G# F# (with riff)

Verse:
B F#
The daylights fading slowly,
C# G# F#
But time with you is standing still,
B F#
I'm waiting for you only,
C# G# F#
The slightest touch and I feel weak,


Pre-Chorus:
E F# G#
I cannot lie,
E F# B
>From you I cannot hide,
E F# G#
And I'm losing the will to try,
E F#
Can't hide it, can't fight it,

Chorus:
E A B
So go on, go on, leave me breathless,
E A B
Tempt me, tease me, till I can't deny this
E A B
Loving feeling, make me long for your kiss,
E A B
Go on, go on, yeah, c'mon.



This is what the Corrs sound like:





Session 2 She will be loved By Maroon 5

She will be loved is not a challenging song at all, its all about rhythm with a few easy chords. Here is what I sound like with my sister on vocals, just after 3 tries.












Here are the chords;


Bm                            A
Beauty queen of only eighteen
Bm A
She had some trouble with herself
Bm A

He was always there to help her
Bm A
She always belonged to someone else

Bm A
I drove for miles and miles
Bm A
And wound up at your door
Bm A
I've had you so many times but
Bm A
somehow I want more

D5 A
I don't mind spending everyday
Bm G5
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
D5 A
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Bm G5
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
D5 A
And she will be loved
Bm G
She will be loved
(Repeat same rythm)










This is what the original song sounds like.

A chart of a few guitar chords















My aim is to learn all the majors, minors, sharps and 7's for A-G.

THE WAY TO READ THIS CHART.
There are six strings, the left most vertical line, corresponds to the top string of your guitar and the bottom is the right most string. The dot on the grid tells you what fret and string to hold on your guitar, fret 1 being the first horizontal line from the top. If there is a number besides the horizontal line, e.g.; 4 then the top column would correspond to the fourth fret on your guitar.
