E(no 3rd) / / / | x 4 INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: [Repeat all chords from "They say that love often passes" . . . "match is rough"] Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm (sus4) After a piece of that diamond in you, So (sus4) Keep an eye open, My Spirit ain't broken, Your Love's so incredible, Your Body's so edible, You (sus4) Give me an overdose of love, But just a little is enough. E(no 3rd) / / / | [repeat to fade] *** This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord (or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only 'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for the tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the end/start of each bar. This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections towards the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same way. Collector of tabs for The Who...
