The Power Tab

by Suede


“The Power” by Suede written by Brett Anderson & Bernard Butler

Capo 1st fret; all chords relative to capo. I hate tuning my guitar 1/2
step down for playing suede songs so I rather put a capo on it and that's 
it. This is nice for an acoustic version. Enjoy!


                                        
Through endless Asia, through the fields in Cathay
                                                 
or enslaved in a pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
                                      
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
                                                                 
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do

                                  
Just give me, give me, give me the power
                 
And I'll make them believe
                             
Give me, give me, give me the power
                           
Although I'm just the common breed

                                              
You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
                                               
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease

                                 
But give me, give me, give me the power
                 
And I'll make them believe
                             
Give me, give me, give me the power
                           
Although I'm just the common breed

   
   
   
   

(I play the bridge this way, remember all notes relative to capo)
                                   
e|-333--333--33---2~----333--333--33---5~---|
b|-444--444--44---3~----444--444--44---6~---|
g|-333--333--33---2~----333--333--33---5~---| …and so on
d|------------------------------------------|
a|------------------------------------------|
e|------------------------------------------|

                                  
Just give me, give me, give me the power
                 
And I'll make them believe
                             
Give me, give me, give me the power
                 
And I'll make them bleed

        (fading pattern)
