Here are the basic chords for Still Life by Suede. This song is on the album Dog Man Star and written by Brett Abderson and Bernard Butler. Note that the D chord has lots of 4th's added and that at the end of the G chord Bernard Butler moves one of his pinkies up from the 3rd fret on the top E string to the 5th fret and then drop back to the 3rd and then open E before moving to the A chord. The A chord also uses liberal amounts of sus2 (shown below) and 4. Play around with these and you'll get something pretty similar to the great man. A5 | | | | | | | | ** | | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ STILL LIFE by Suede Intro uses the DAGD chord progression that is repeated during the song G5 This still life is all I ever do A5 D5 there by the window quietly killed for you G5 in the glass house, my insect life A5 D5 crawling the walls under electric light F5 E5 D5 I'll go into the night, into the night F5 E5 D5 she and I into the night G5 Is this still life all I'm good for too? A5 D5 there by the window quietly killed for you G5 and they drive by, like insects do A5 they think they don't know me D5 they hired a car for you F5 E5 D5 To go into the night, into the night F5 E5 D5 she and I into the night (tempo rises on the D) G5 and this still life is all I ever do A5 D5 there by the window, quietly killed for you G5 and this still life is all I ever do A5 D5 but it's still, still life G (music stops here till....) but it's still, still life A5 D5 but it's still, still life (then DGAD for the strings till the end). I hope your voices are up to singing it - mine isn't. Nigel Minchin
