The Power by Suede, written by Brett Anderson & Bernard Butler
[Verse 1]
AThrough endless EAsia, Bmthrough the fields in F#mCathay
Aor enslaved in a Epebble-dash grave Bmwith a kid on the F#mway
AIf you're far over EAfrica Bmon the wings of F#myouth
Aor if you're down in some Esatellite town Bmand there's nothing you can F#mdo
[Chorus]
Just Dgive me, give me, give me the Epower
C#mAnd I'll make them F#mbelieve
DGive me, give me, give me the Epower
FAlthough I'm just the common Ebreed
[Verse 2]
AYou might live in a Escreen kiss, Bmit's a glamorous F#mdream
AOr belong to a Eworld that's gone, Bmit's the English F#mdisease
[Chorus]
But Dgive me, give me, give me the Epower
C#mAnd I'll make them F#mbelieve
DGive me, give me, give me the Epower
FAlthough I'm just the common Ebreed
[Instrumental]
