The Power by Suede, written by Brett Anderson & Bernard Butler
 
[Verse 1]
A               E     Bm                    F#m
Through endless Asia, through the fields in Cathay
A                E                 Bm                F#m
or enslaved in a pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
A                  E      Bm              F#m
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
A                         E              Bm                          F#m
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do
 
[Chorus]
     D                             E
Just give me, give me, give me the power
C#m                F#m
And I'll make them believe
D                             E
Give me, give me, give me the power
F                            E
Although I'm just the common breed
 
[Verse 2]
A                   E            Bm               F#m
You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
A              E                  Bm               F#m
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease
 
[Chorus]
    D                             E
But give me, give me, give me the power
C#m                F#m
And I'll make them believe
D                             E
Give me, give me, give me the power
F                            E
Although I'm just the common breed

[Chorus]
     D                             E
Just give me, give me, give me the power
C#m                F#m
And I'll make them believe
D                             E
Give me, give me, give me the power
C#m                F#m
And I'll make them bleed

Great tab man! Just a slight correction: in the fading pattern at the end it sounds like G instead of Bm.

during the bridge, F# after D# doesn't seem right to my ears. you dont need a capo when you transpose it twice (2) to A E Bm F#m sequence. nice work of course, thanks from Turkey:)
