Stevie Song Chords?

[LilLikeJuliet]

Hey guys,
Pretty new here, so a similar post may exist somewhere. If so, please point me in the right direction. I tried running a search.
I play a little acoustic guitar and perform at open mics and such, and people always FLIP when I do FM/SN songs. Just trying to keep giving the people what they want, but I play every single week, so I'm trying to add to my set. I don't really consider myself a musician, so I rely on chords to help me fake it through my sets on guitar.
I'm looking for chords to the following songs, as I have not been able to find them ANYWHERE. I've only been able to find tabs, and those look like math problems to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Planets of the Universe (demo or studio version, doesn't matter)
Kind of Woman
Too Far From Texas
Thrown Down
Destiny Rules

Thanks again! Happy Wednesday.

Well, everything starts at Am lol.. almost everything Stevie does involves a very simple chord progression in the key of F. Hopefully you can follow this, I can go song by song (except for TFFT I've never played that one) --

Planets of the Universe - F, G, Am, G, F repeat any sort of strumming pattern you feel. I play the piano so I tend to play the 1976 Demo, with the same progression with that cool twinkly bit. For the "now, I know" part, I do F, G, Am, C, and repeat..

Kind of Woman - Am, G, F, E7 it's those same four chords the whole song! And you can probably hear how the picking goes for this one...

Again, sorry I don't know Too Far From Texas!

Thrown Down - Hmm... I would do Am, G, Fmaj7, G for this one during the verse, and them, F, G, Am, C for the chorus.. (I hope you can play by ear haha)

Destiny Rules - Surprise! Am, G, F, Am repeat... And then the chorus.. F, G repeated 87161 times, until you get back to the verse, and the bridge.

Just for fun, some other Stevie songs you can play with this chord set?

- Rhiannon
- Sisters of the Moon
- Outside the Rain
- Sara
- Smile At You
- Doing the Best That I Can
- Rock a Little
- Blue Denim

Of course, not all of them might be in this exact key, but if you have a capo you can easily change the key to your own liking! Good luck and hope this sort of makes sense haha

Thank you! I play Rhiannon & SOTM, and I had heard her say in an interview that Planets was a similar progression. I generally always start out strumming Am and try to go from there with her songs, but it's always nice to have something solid to go by.
Thanks again!

While neither of you have it listed, Rose Garden is a favorite of mine and is very easy to play! It simply goes G, C, D. Simple!

Thank you! Garbo is almost exactly the same, it's G, D, C.. then C, Bb, D7 during the chorus!

I have the beta version of this bookmarked on my laptop. The real version is out now but you have to buy it, I think. But I have found some chords for songs that I liked here, though some of them were wrong, so you should try them out and judge for yourself.


Good luck.

Also, I have the piano books for FM, Rumors, Tusk, Mirage, and Tango in the Night, so if you really want something and can't find it and it's from those recordings let me know.
