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.

STILL LIFE by Suede
Intro uses the DAGD chord progression that is repeated during the song
This still life is [G]all I ever do
[A]there by the window quietly killed for you[D]
in the glass house, my [G]insect life
[A]crawling the walls under electric [D]light
I'll go [F]into the nigh[E]t, into the [D]night
[F]she and [E]I into the [D]night
Is this still life [G]all I'm good for too?
[A]there by the window quietly killed for [D]you
and they drive by, like [G]insects do
they [A]think they don't know me
they hired a car for [D]you
To go [F]into the night[E], into the [D]night
[F]she and [E]I into the [D]night
(tempo rises on the D)
and this still life is [G]all I ever do
[A]there by the window, quietly killed for you[D]
and this still life is [G]all I ever do
but it's [A]still, still [D]life
G (music stops here till....)
but it's still, still life
but it's [A]still, still l[D]ife
(then DGAD for the strings till the end).
I hope your voices are up to singing it - mine isn't.
