I Wish That I Was Beautiful For You is a song by Daren Hanlon off the album Little Chills that was released in 2004.

The single of I Wish That I Was Beautiful For You was released later in 2005.

I recently saw Darren live at the Biloela RSL, I had been waiting to see him for quite a while after hearing him first on Triple J radio quite a while ago.

I thought it was time then to learn a few of his songs and I Wish That I Was Beautiful For You is such a great song, so it was the first choice.

For such a lovely sounding song it certainly has its own little parts of chordal wizardry and timing.

So it has taken quite a few play throughs and practising to get the timings right and being able to play it and sing along with it sounding natural.

Wait until you start learning it too and you will find out how much of an ear worm it is.

The chords for guitar are below for you with a few notes too, and also the video for the song off Youtube so you don’t have to go hunting for it when you start learning.

Here you can learn how to play Harpoon on guitar by the band Jebediah.

Harpoon is a song by the band Jebediah, it is off the Slightly Odway album which was released in 1997.

Jebediah is an Australian band consisting of these legends, Kevin Mitchell, Chris Daymond, Vanessa Thornton, and Brett Mitchell.

I fell in love with Harpoon from the moment I heard the song and it is pretty much a standard go to song on my iPod.

I have learnt this song in the past, but I haven’t played it live at all over the years.

So this is probably the most time I have spent learning to play Harpoon by Jebediah, and I’m glad I have as Slightly Odway has been / is a favourite album of mine too.

The chords to learn how to play Harpoon on guitar are below with a few notes too, and also the video for the song off Youtube so you don’t have to go hunting for it if you want to play along.
