The Power Chords

(ver. 2)
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!


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

     C                             D
Just give me, give me, give me the power
Bm                 Em
And I'll make them believe
C                             D
Give me, give me, give me the power
Eb                           D
Although I'm just the common breed

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

C                                 D
But give me, give me, give me the power
Bm                 Em
And I'll make them believe
C                             D
Give me, give me, give me the power
Eb                           D
Although I'm just the common breed

Eb   D
Eb   F#
Eb   F#
Eb   D

(I play the bridge this way, remember all notes relative to capo)
   Eb             D     Eb             F# 
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|------------------------------------------|

C                                  D
Just give me, give me, give me the power
Bm                 Em
And I'll make them believe
C                             D
Give me, give me, give me the power
Bm                 Em
And I'll make them bleed

C  D  Bm  Em  (fading pattern)


---One of my favourite songs from one of my all-time greatest albums.
   Cheers!
