"Last Christmas" Chords & Lyrics

Never thought in the seven years since I uploaded my first songs to the website that I would ever be posting a Wham song! In my defence (a) it's a Christmas song, (b) it was a request and
(c) it's also been covered by Hilary Duff, Whigfield, Manic Street Preachers and Jimmy Eat World, among many others.

"Last Christmas" is one of those songs you will inevitably be asked to play at some Christmas session, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day and for the res.... uups, sorry, wrong film!

Anywaze I have posted the chords and lyrics to "Last Christmas" on my Christmas Songs page at PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics - Christmas song chords . Give it a go, forget it was a Wham song, and just have fun with it!


Enjoy your music!

I Wish it could be Christmas - Wizzard song chords

Finally sat down and worked out chords and lyrics for one of my all-time favourite Christmas songs - Wizzard's "I wish it could be Christmas everyday". Mainly from memory, with a bit of help from some tabs I found on the net ( get 'em while they're still going! ), which I had to transpose to a (fairly) playable key.

It's not the easiest of songs to play solo on acoustic, fine if you're part of a band with full brass section, obviously! I've indicated some 'optional' chords in brackets, mainly 'step' chords from the end of one line to the beginning of the next, where the sax would normally be playing the little end riffs - but you can play without these if you're playing solo at the Christmas night out, with you're inebriated buddies singing their hearts out! I've always said, nobody appreciates mediocrity quite like the drunken mob!!

Seriously, it is a playable song, my interpretation of the chords and lyrics are on my Christmas Songs page at: PJs Guitar Chords and lyrics - Christmas songs "I Wish it could be Christmas" ( last song on page ). There are a whole bunch (47 to be exact ) of Carols and other seasonal songs on the page, from the classics thru the pop range, including Slade, Darkness, John Lennon, Live Aid, Chris Rea - all the good stuff.

I know it's mid-November, but if you plan on Carol singing, or just want to add some fun holiday songs to your repertoire, you should be practicing NOW!



Enjoy your music!

America - Razorlight guitar chords and lyrics

London's Razorlight have been blazing the charts and making the world sit up and notice over the past year or so. I'd have to say I thought 'In the Morning' was a more typical, bouncy rock song than 'America', their latest single, but it's a good song nonetheless, and I've added my version of the chords and lyrics to my 'Razorlight easy songs for guitars' page:
