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.

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.
