From: Nigel Minchin 
Subject: TAB: Still Life by Suede


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 sus4th'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 sus4. Play around with these and you'll get
something pretty similar to the great man.
