Here are all the tracks to Lloyd Coles most recent album, Love Story. Enjoy
Trigger Happy by Lloyd Cole
From Love Story
This one is really simple as soon as you get the fingerpicking
pattern down, which isn't too hard. Sometimes in the verse,
Lloyd strums the Asus4 (or plucks it with his fingers) instead
of doing the picking pattern. Music theory people will notice
the major in the verse and a turn to the minor in the chorus
-enjoy.

This one is a little tricky to get the timing right - if you
play along with the album it should come quickly. If tabbed
out the verse and prechorus as I play it and it sounds pretty
good. The Spanish like guitar part in front I haven't tabbed
out, but if you mess around with it, its not hard. I like to
play this one with my fingers and pluck the strings instead of
using a pick also - allows for greater control over the
strings.

Unhappy Song
This song is a straight bass note strum pattern after the first
intro - the chords to the chorus are basically the same as the
verse, except played in a different position - I don't know if this
is how Lloyd does it on the record, but it sounds best to me - if
it doesn't to you, try the verse chords over the chorus - both
sound pretty close.

Let's Get Lost
On this one, hit the bass note, then the rest of the chord.
Letters not capitalized represent single notes on the 6th string.
For the walk up at the end of a stanza, use the G# as the bass note
in the bass note chord pattern. Also, for the E, the strum is much
shorter, to allow time for the walk up. There may also be a second
guitar, playing the bass notes an octave higher to fill out the
arrangement.

Unhappy Song
This song is a straight bass note strum pattern after the first
intro - the chords to the chorus are basically the same as the
verse, except played in a different position - I don't know if this
is how Lloyd does it on the record, but it sounds best to me - if
it doesn't to you, try the verse chords over the chorus - both
sound pretty close.

Let's Get Lost
On this one, hit the bass note, then the rest of the chord.
Letters not capitalized represent single notes on the 6th string.
For the walk up at the end of a stanza, use the G# as the bass note
in the bass note chord pattern. Also, for the E, the strum is much
shorter, to allow time for the walk up. There may also be a second
guitar, playing the bass notes an octave higher to fill out the
arrangement.

For Crying Out Loud
A good song to do with just an acoustic and the little riffs that
connect the chords are easy and can be figured out with minimum
effort - concentrate on the high E and B strings.
