A nice gospel-inspired ballad from Sam Smith's debut album "In the lonely hour" released in 2014. It took only half an hour to work out the song. It started out as a three chord piano play and got filled with a drum beat and guitar. The vocals are recorded in several takes and then mixed together to give it the feeling of a gospel choir. You will find the complete lyrics below in theses Sam Smith guitar chords.
"Stay with me" is recorded in the key of C major with a tempo of 84 beats per minute. The song is one of the best pop songs to be released in 2014.
