King of Pain is one of my favourite songs by The Police, and it’s been on my list to do for a while. Though I’ve searched, I’ve just never found chords on the net that I was happy with. So I figured these ones out myself, and…yeah, I’m pretty happy with them.
These were put together from sheet music for the song, machine algorithm versions, and my own ear, and while they’re not perfect by any stretch, they’re a darn sight more correct than many of the other versions I’ve seen available online so far.

A short, sweet, surprisingly-lovely-when-sung-acoustic-style song for this week. Though my vocals are nowhere near as pretty as the original – because how an anyone truly hold a candle to that beautiful soul? –it’s still a gorgeous version.

Bastion is an absolutely phenomenal game. In fact, it’s up there as one of my favourite games of all time, that’s how good it is.

At some point I should probably write something self-reflective about the new decade, given that I’m full of thoughts and ideas and whatnot about it.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is my absolute favourite Christmas movie. It's the best, and anyone who says otherwise can get into the frozen sea.
It Feels Like Christmas is the song that the Ghost of Christmas Present sings...and it's hard as balls to play. (For me at least.)
Come get you some chords for this epic Muppety Christmas carol…

I sure as heck can’t fingerpick. It’s just not in my DNA. Adam Melchor sure can though, which makes covering Metadata, my fave of his songs, kind of tricky. It means you have to strum either really slow, which kind of kills it, or reallyfastandprobablymessitup.
Come get you my simple chords so you can play this lovely song at your leisure.

This song was originally, as far as I figure, sung by a choirboy. He did a great job. Me? Well, I am not a 12-year-old boy.

Who doesn't love a bit of Kate Bush? She's an incredible singer and songwriter, and that kind of genius is magnetic as all get out. She's not an easy artist to cover, because there's simply no way to do her justice. But, you know me, trying anyway because I'd rather make mistakes than not make anything at all.
Come get yourself some simple guitar/ukulele chords for Running Up That Hill.
