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
G
This still life is all I ever do
A D
there by the window quietly killed for you
G
in the glass house, my insect life
A D
crawling the walls under electric light
F E D
I'll go into the night, into the night
F E D
she and I into the night
G
Is this still life all I'm good for too?
A D
there by the window quietly killed for you
G
and they drive by, like insects do
A
they think they don't know me
D
they hired a car for you
F E D
To go into the night, into the night
F E D
she and I into the night
(tempo rises on the D)
G
and this still life is all I ever do
A D
there by the window, quietly killed for you
G
and this still life is all I ever do
A D
but it's still, still life
G (music stops here till....)
but it's still, still life
A D
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.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SUEDE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
