Song: She is Suffering Band: Manic Street Preachers Tuning: Standard I worked this out using this video of James Dean Bradfield playing an acoustic version of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOpjoksIELk I'm sure it's spot on. Intro/Verses: (In the video I used to write this, he hits the A and Am at the end as full chords sometimes) Em Em/D# A Am e|------------------------------------------------------| b|-------8------------8------------2------------1-------| g|-----9---9--------9---9--------2---2--------2---2-----| d|---9-------9----9-------9----2-------2----2-------2---| a|-7-----------6------------0------------0------------0-| e|------------------------------------------------------| Verse 1: Em Em/D# Beauty finds refuge A Am in herself Em Em/D# Lovers wrapped inside A Am each others lies Em Em/D# Beauty is such a A Am terrible thing Em Em/D# She is suffering A Am Yet more than death Chorus: (Played as barre chords) G B Em She is suffering G B A5 She sucks you deeper in G B Em She is suffering G B A5 You exist within her shadow Verse 2: Em Em/D# Beauty, she is scarred A Am into man's soul Em Em/D# A flower attracting A Am lust, vice and sin Em Em/D# A vine that can strangle A Am life from a tree Em Em/D# Carrion, surrounding, A Am picking on leaves Chorus: (Played as barre chords) G B Em She is suffering G B A5 She sucks you deeper in G B Em She is suffering G B A5 You exist within her shadow Bridge: (Power chords) x4 D# C D A Verse 3: Em Em/D# Beauty she poisons A Am unfaithful all Em Em/D# Stifled, her touch is A Am leprous and pale Em Em/D# The less she gives the more A Am you need her Em Em/D# No thoughts to forget when we were A Am children Chorus: (Played as barre chords) G B Em She is suffering G B A5 She sucks you deeper in G B Em She is suffering G B A5 Nature's luke-warm pleasure That's it. Took much longer to write out than expected. In the third verse, he just strums the chords, rather than picking them. I think he plays the A and Am like this: A Am e|-5-| e|-5-| b|-5-| b|-5-| g|-6-| g|-5-| d|-7-| d|-7-| a|---| a|---| e|---| e|---|
