Well, here we are again, my doves: another song of mine, another play around in my DAW, and another arrangement that’s closer to what I heard in my head when it was born. Come listen to a song I wrote about hope…

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.
A while ago, the sheet music was released for free on the internet by the composer (a very nice chap called Darren Korb) so these aren’t hard to find. Anyhoo, here are the simplified ukulele chords I’m playing for my cover – which can be found up on YouTube right now.

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 wrote this song about a week or so ago, and since then I’ve had it playing in my head a few times, at random.

This is the first song of mine that I ever played for anyone other than my Kind-Eyed-Boy. I did it at an open mic night and royally messed up after the bridge. Of course, nobody could tell, because nobody knew how it was supposed to go except me.

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.

I love me some dodie: she's one of the women who inspired me to start my YouTube channel, and to start sharing the songs I write. She's an advocate for a bunch of stuff dear to my heart, and she writes prose well, too. I think she's awesome.
Human is an fantastic track off an excellent EP, and it works well played solo. Come get you some simple ukulele chords...

Another of mine, and one I penned a good while ago now as an exercise in writing something different: it’s a slow, slow, slow song, that’s restricted to a simple melody more-or-less throughout.
Come hear a song called Pegasus.

Kaze No Ne, or Sound of the Wind is a beautiful song from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a fantastic co-op title for GameCube back in the day, and set to release next year on a bunch of other platforms.
I’ve often thought about sorting some chords for it, and sat down one night a few months ago to hash it out. Here’s my arrangement of chords for ukulele…

Working out needs the right music, and never more than on the boring, boring bike. Well, hell’s bells my fellow mistake-makers, do I have some great cardio bike music for you…

I’ve written a load of songs I’m extremely proud of, but that I’m not ready to share yet. Here’s one that I’ve written, that I’m really proud of, but for some reason I’m ready to share.

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.
I sang it anyway.
This is the main end credits theme from Ico, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It still gives me chills. Come get the guitar/ukulele chords!

I did warn you that there’d be a bunch of Billy Joel on here. What can I say? I really like the guy’s music.
New York State of Mind is one of those songs that has just the right whistful feel for a solo acoustic version on ukulele or guitar. Come get you some chords.

I write songs sometimes. I’ve written a handful that I’m really proud of, either because of what they say, or how they say it. Here’s one of those songs.

You read me right: Pigeon Street, the kids show from the late 70s/early 80s; the one with the absolutely banging theme tune.
It’s short, quite tricky on ukulele, and really, really fun to play. Come get the guitar/ukulele chords!

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.

Dang, this is a nice song, and it's from a really nice album, too. Extraordinary Magic is one of those Ben Rector tunes that, when I heard it the first time, I fell in love with it straight away. It's how I feel about my Kind-Eyed-Boy, and yes, I know how lucky that makes me.
Come get you some chords so you can play this gentle, gorgeous, heartfelt love song yourself…
