Have gotten lots of song requests for more of Taylor's songs. She is a hit with a few of my older students. Here's one for beginner's to learn and play chords in C Major.


Ours was written in 2011 by the beautiful Taylor Swift. It's an easy progression to play. You may be thinking of another song of hers, Our Song that's a good one, too.

Chords and Lyrics: Ours

Key of C
Moderately fast
4/4 Time signature

Intro: C  Am7  F (2x)


Verse 1:

  C       Am7                 F
Elevator buttons and morning air
  C               Am7                        F
Strangers silence makes me wanna take the stairs
    C                 Am7                 F
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
           C  G/B            F   
But right now, my time is theirs

Verse:

  C                        Am7            F
Seems like theres always someone who disapproves
        C                  Am7                F
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
          C                 Am7           F
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
       G     C  G/B                F   G/B
The jury's out, but my choice is you

Chorus:

    F                    G 
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
  C                   Am
People throw rocks at things that shine
     F          G          Am
And life makes love look  hard
                 F
The stakes are high
             G
The waters rough
                  
But this love is ours

C  Am7  F (2x)

Verse 2:

 C                   Am7                     F   
They never know what people have up their sleeves
 C                     Am7                F             
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
 C               Am7                 F
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
    G         C   G/B                        F    G/B
But I don't care, cause right now you're mine

Chorus:
                F                     G            
And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind
  C                   Am
People throw rocks at things that shine
     F          G         Am
And life makes love look hard
                F
The stakes are high
             G
The waters rough
                  
But this love is ours

C  Am  F

C  Am  F

Bridge:

Am              G            F
And it's not theirs to speculate
         C    G/B   Am             G   
If it's wrong and your hands are tough 
             F          C      G/B 
but they are where mine belong in
Am                 G                  
I'll fight their doubt and give you
F               C    G/B   F     G
faith with this song for you

Verse:

C                Am7                F
Cause I love the gap between your teeth
C                Am7               F
And I love the riddles that you speak
          C                    Am7             F                     
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos 
C               G/B                  F    G/B
will be ignored cause my heart is yours

Chorus:

    F                     G
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
  C                   Am
People throw rocks at things that shine
     F           G        Am
And life makes love look hard

Chorus:

    F                     G
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
  C                   Am
People throw rocks at things that shine
     F          G          C    Am
But they can't take what's ours
 F          G           Am
They can't take what's ours
                F
The stakes are high
             G
The waters rough
                  C
But this love is ours

How to Play Should've Said No

Song Background

Should've Said No is a country song that was written in 2006 by Taylor Swift.

The song is an up-tempo in which the central character addresses a former lover named Sam who has cheated on her, telling him that he "should've said no" to the female who has taken her place in his life ("You should've said no/You should've gone home/You should've thought twice before you let it all go/You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her would get back to me"). Swift wrote the song when she was sixteen years old. For more information, visit wikipedia.org

It’s strange to think the songs we used to sing

The smiles, the flowers, everything... is gone

Even now just looking at you... feels wrong
Em                 C                       G
You say that you’d take it all back, given one chance
                  D               C       D
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes

You should’ve said no, you should’ve gone home

We could ever be the same
Em                           C              G
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance

Here's the chord chart to this popular song.

Intro- G


G                             
Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels 
    Cadd9
But I do
G/B
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song
    Cadd9
But I do  
   
I do


 G


G
Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wave
  Cadd9
I walk to you
G/B
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't now how nice that is
    Cadd9
But I do


Cadd9                                            Dsus4
 And you throw your head back laughin' like a, little kid
Em7                            
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause,
G
He never did
Cadd9
And I've been spending the last eight months
Dsus4
Thinkin' all love ever does is 
G      D/F#      Em7
Break, burn, and end
Cadd9                            Dsus4
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
            
I watched it begin again


 G


G
He said he never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you
    Cadd9
But I do
G/B
We tell stories and you dont know why
You're comin' off a little shy
    Cadd9
But I do

But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again


G    


       Cadd9                         Dsus4
And we walk down the block to my car
And I almost brought him up
    Cadd9                           Dsus4
But you start to talk about the movies 
                         Cadd9
That your family watches, every single Christmas
           G/B
And I will talk about that
            Cadd9                    
And for the first time, what's past is past

(picking)

Cadd9                                              Dsus4
 Cause you throw your head back laughin' like a, little kid
Em7                            
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause,
G
He never did

And I've been spending the last eight months

Thinkin' all love ever does is 
G      D/F#      Em7
Break, burn, and end
Cadd9                            Dsus4
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
                        G D/F# Em7 
I watched it begin again

Taylor Swift: Eyes Open

The Hunger Games (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Eyes Open by Taylor Swift is a song from the movie, Hunger Games.

It's played in the Key of G with 4/4 Time Signature.

Here's the first chart I found online.

G* 
Everybody's waiting
D* 
Everybody's watching
Em*
Even when you're sleepin'
C*                     G D Em C
 Keep your ey-eyes open


G
The tricky thing
                         D
Is yesterday we were just, children
                          Em
Playing soldiers just pre-tending
                          C
Dreaming dreams with happy endings

G
In backyards,
                        D
Winning battles with the, wooden swords
                            Em
But now we've stepped into a, cruel world
                          C
Where everybody stands and, keeps score
     D          
Keep your eyes open


G
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
D
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Em
Even when you're sleepin', sleepin'
C                      G  
 Keep your ey-eyes open 
D                      Em
 Keep your ey-eyes open 
C              -mute    G 
 Keep your ey-eyes open 


G
So here you are
                           D
Two steps ahead and staying, on guard
                    Em
Every lesson forms a, new scar
                                C
They never thought you'd make it, this far
G
 But turn around
                            D
Oh, they surrounded you, it's, a showdown
                    Em
And nobody comes to save you now
                                C
But you got something they don't

Yeah, you got something they don't
                    D
You just gotta keep your eyes open


G
Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
D
Everybody's watching to see the fallout
Em
Even when you're sleepin', sleepin'
C                      G  
 Keep your ey-eyes open 
D                      Em
 Keep your ey-eyes open 
C               
 Keep your ey-eyes 


     D
Keep your feet ready
Em
Heartbeat steady
C             D
Keep your ey-eyes open
     Em
Keep your aim locked
    C
The night grows dark
   G          D        
Ke-ep your ey-eyes open 

G
 Keep your ey-eyes open                        
D

 You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
         Em7                        Cadd9
 And soon enough you're best friends
G                                Cadd9
 Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
          Em7                          Cadd9

 When the night ends


                   G

 And your first kiss makes your head spin 'round
    Em7                           D
 But in your life you'll do things greater than

 Dating the boy on the football team
             D

 Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now


G                              Cadd9
 Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
       Em7                            Cadd9
 But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
     G                 Cadd9              Em7
 And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy 
                 Cadd9            Cadd9
 Who changed his mind and we both cried


                   G
 'Cause when you're fifteen and 
Em7                       D
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 Cadd9

                G
 And when you're fifteen
  D/F#            Em7             Cadd9
 Don't forget to look before you fall
Em7                           D
 I've found time can heal most anything
                    G                  D/F#     Cadd9
 And you just might find who you're supposed to be
          Em7            D/F#        Cadd9
 I didn't know who I was supposed to be
D
 At fifteen

Our Song, with words and music by this very popular artist Taylor Swift, has 
been requested numerous times and can't be ignored. Here are the chords.

D Em G A x2

      D                      Em                 G                 A
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
           D                  Em
He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
    G          A
The other on my heart
D                       Em
I look around, turn the radio down
        G                 A
He says baby is something wrong?
  D                 Em                G               A
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don’t have a song
And he says...

D               Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G                          A
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
D                  Em                 G
When you’re on the phone and you talk real slow
           A                        D
Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know
                Em
Our song is the way you laugh
    G                         A
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have”
Em             A                       Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
          D   G
Asking God if he could play it again

D Em G A

D                    Em                      G          A
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day
    D                      Em
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
    G                A
And lost and thrown away
D                   Em             G            A
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin’ bed
  D                    Em
I almost didn’t notice all the roses
G                A
And the note that said...

D               Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G                          A
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
D                  Em                 G
When you’re on the phone and you talk real slow
           A                        D
Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know
                Em
Our song is the way you laugh
    G                         A
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have”
Em             A                       Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
          D   G
Asking God if he could play it again

D Em G A
        Da da da da
D Em G A

     Em                          G
I’ve heard every album, listened to the radio
D          A            Em
Waited for something to come along
            G
That was as good as our song

D                     Em
Cause our song is the slamming screen door
G                          A         D
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
                  Em                      G
When we’re on the phone and he talks real slow
               A                   D
Cause it’s late and his mama don’t know
                Em
Our song is the way he laughs
    G                         A
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss him, and I could have”
Em             A                       Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
          D   G                 D Em G A
Asking God if he could play it again... 

         D Em G A    D Em G A
Play it again... Ho yea ho yea

      D                      Em
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
       G                 A
In the front seat of his car
D                      Em
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
      G
And I... wrote down our song

So, I like this rendition by Claytu2... good job!

This is a pretty easy song for the most part. Important to know the chord progressions
