One Day Like This - Elbow

The trick with this song is to let it build, and avoid every verse sounding like the last. build slowly, like Hey Jude.
 

Nice version from the West Cork Ukulele Orchestra as well

(Single strums)
F 2010
Drinking in the morning sun
F/A# 2011
Blinking in the morning sun
F/C 2013
Shaking off the heavy one
F/A# 2011
Heavy like a loaded gun

F
What made me behave that way?
F/A#
Using words I never say
F/C
I can only think it must be love
F/A#
Oh, anyway
F/A#                           F
It's looking like a beautiful day

(strum with more energy, still light)

F
Someone tell me how I feel
F/A#
It's silly wrong but vivid right
F/C
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
F/A#
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

F
Cause holy cow I love your eyes
F/A#
And only now I see the light
F
Yeah Lying with me half-awake
F/A#
Oh, anyway
F/A#                           F
It's looking like a beautiful day

(more energy)

(Same as 1st verse)
When my face
Is chamois-creased
If you think
I'll wink, I did
Laugh politely
At repeats
Yeah, kiss me
When my lips are thin

(lots more energy)
Cause holy cow
I love your eyes
And only now
I see you like
Yeah, lying with me
Half-awake
Stumbling over
What to say
Well, anyway
It's looking
Like a beautiful day

5553                     3331
So throw those curtains wide
     x565
One day like this
                5553
A year'd see me right

The way you make me feel (groovy version)

I was sent this by a twitter friend, and it is a cool groove daddy-o! Thanks Tabitha. The lyrics below are closer to MJs original, but season to taste as they say.

St. Patrick's Day: Danny Boy

Another sad song of longing and death, but beautiful all the same.

It was used in a fantastic scene in Miller's Crossing by the Coen Brothers.
This isn't exactly as I remember it...
C             C7                        F      Fm
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
C                       Am                D7  G
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
C                    Cmaj7               F    Fm
The summer’s gone and all the roses dying
C          Am           Dm     G      C
‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide

G            Am       C         F         C
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
G            Am   G  Am          F         D7   G
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
            C        F              C Em Am Fm
And I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
C        Am            Dm      G        C
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

C               C7                   F    Fm
But if he come and all the roses dying
          C        Am             D7 G
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
C                Cmaj7                     F    Fm
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
C              Am     F   G         C
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
G           Am           C        F      C
And I shall feel, though soft you tread above me
G           Am          F            D7 G
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
              C         F                C Em Am Fm
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
C            Am            Dm      G        C
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me
