It was the single off his debut studio album <em>In the Lonely Hour<\/em>. Stay with Me is a gospel-inspired ballad and the song tells the story of the main character begging that his one-night stand not leave. The song was written by Smith, James Napier, and William Phillips, with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne receiving co-writer credits due to the song&#8217;s similarity to Petty&#8217;s single &#8220;I Won&#8217;t Back Down&#8221;. Today we\u2019ll learn an easy arrangement of the Stay With Me chords.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Useful links:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stay_with_Me_(Sam_Smith_song)\">Read more on Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tabs.ultimate-guitar.com\/s\/sam_smith\/stay_with_me_crd.htm\">Lyrics and Chord Tabs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pB-5XG-DbAA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Song Specs<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Title:<\/strong> Stay With Me<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artist:<\/strong> Sam Smith<\/p>\n<p><strong>Songwriters:<\/strong> James Napier, William Phillips, and Sam Smith<\/p>\n<p><strong>Album:<\/strong> In the Lonely Hour<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key<\/strong>: Am<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tempo<\/strong>: 84<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chord Progression<\/strong>: Am\u2013F\u2013C\u2013Gsus4\u2013G\u2013E7<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accompaniment Technique:<\/strong> Open Chords and Basic Fingerstyle<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Playing Tips<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind that will help you learn the tune faster while giving you some ideas for how to approach performing it.

Since we\u2019re approaching this tune from an acoustic guitar standpoint, we have a few options to consider which I\u2019ll discuss further below and in the video. They deal mainly with some chord fingerings and strumming approaches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a fun and easy tune that you can quickly add to your repertoire. It\u2019s also a great tune for those venturing into the world of fingerstyle playing and singing while playing. The repetitive nature of the chord progression and accompaniment pattern lend themselves to working on these skills.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Accompaniment Techniques<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rhythmic feel uses syncopated anticipations and these techniques help create motion and interest. The pattern can be a little tricky at first, but once you get it down, it\u2019s repeated throughout the tune providing you with ample opportunity to practice. Here\u2019s the breakdown:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s a 2-bar rhythm pattern.<\/li>\n<li>Play the Am on beat 1.<\/li>\n<li>Switch to the F on the \u201cand\u201d of 2.<\/li>\n<li>Then, the C chord on the \u201cand\u201d of 4.<\/li>\n<li>Aim for keeping a steady rhythm throughout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-Rhythm-1024x281.png\" alt=\"Stay With Me Rhythm Chart\" width=\"640\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-Rhythm-1024x281.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-Rhythm-300x82.png 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-Rhythm-768x211.png 768w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-Rhythm-1366x376.png 1366w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-Rhythm.png 1371w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Basic Fingerstyle Technique<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stay with Me is perfect for beginning fingerstyle players. The right hand is notated as follows:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>P = Thumb<\/li>\n<li>I = Index<\/li>\n<li>M = Middle<\/li>\n<li>A = Ring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I find that using a pick to strum the Stay With Me chords can be a little too harsh sounding for the mood of this tune. For that reason, I suggest using your fingers to pluck and strum the chords. Let\u2019s begin by assigning the right-hand fingers to certain strings:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Thumb (P) plays the bass note on the 5th and 6th strings (depending on the chord, of course).<\/li>\n<li>The Index (I) is assigned to the 4th string.<\/li>\n<li>The Middle (M) is assigned to the 3rd string.<\/li>\n<li>The Ring (A) is assigned to the 2nd string.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is the essence of fingerstyle playing, assigning fingers to specific strings. This way, you don\u2019t need to look at the right hand while playing. Once you get used to it, you can \u201cfeel\u201d where you are.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I suggest using the finger-plucking technique for the verse and the finger-strumming technique for the chorus. I explain this in more detail in the video.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Stay With Me Chords Chart<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve included a chord chart, which is a simple road map that shows you:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The overall arrangement of the song.<\/li>\n<li>A section by section breakdown of the song.<\/li>\n<li>Each chord and how long to play it for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t read music, please don\u2019t be intimidated. This is a cheat sheet that can help you get through the tune quickly and easily. I find it indispensable for learning songs and I can also hand it to a seasoned musician and they can follow along without any problems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Song Form<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Intro:<\/strong> A 4-measure section; the Am\u2013F\u2013C chord riff is two measures and played twice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verse:<\/strong> An 8-measure section; the two-measure, Am\u2013F\u2013C chord riff is played three times and the fourth time the Gsus4 replaces the F chord in the progression.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chorus:<\/strong> An 8-measure section; (4) two-bar chord riffs. Riff 1 is the Am\u2013F\u2013C chord riff from the intro and verse; Riff 2 is the Am\u2013F\u2013C chord riff with a G chord added in the 2nd half of the 2nd measure; Riff 3 is the Am\u2013F\u2013C chord riff with an E7 chord added in the 2nd half of the 2nd measure; and, Riff 4 is the Am\u2013F\u2013C chord riff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you become familiar with chord charts, you\u2019ll never want to go back. It\u2019s just easier to see where you\u2019re going when you have a map. And, it\u2019s especially helpful when you\u2019re not familiar with the song or there\u2019s a section of the song that you don\u2019t remember (Bridges and Interludes are notorious for surprising players and derailing a song\u2019s performance). Thankfully, this tune is pretty straightforward, it\u2019s an AB song form\u2026 No Surprises.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8_CR72U3w-g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me.png\" alt=\"Stay With Me chord chart Sam Smith\" width=\"2241\" height=\"1959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me.png 2241w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-300x262.png 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-768x671.png 768w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Stay-With-Me-1024x895.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2241px) 100vw, 2241px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Wrap-up<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope that you\u2019ve enjoy learning the Stay With Me chords and if you haven\u2019t checked out any Gospel music then I encourage you to do so. It\u2019s nice to see where today\u2019s artists get their inspiration from and you may discover a new world of music that may motivate you to explore a new direction. Also, as guitar players, the guitarists that are playing modern Gospel today are very talented and doing some innovative things. Lastly, I recommend a little Tom Petty as well\u2014he is truly one of the great American songwriters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for hangin\u2019 with me and I\u2019ll see you next time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English singer\/songwriter Sam Smith recorded Stay With Me in 2014.
