- find a nice rhythm for the chords that you like, I just tabbed the finger placements
and the short riffs so you know how to play it.-
VERSE 1
A Gmaj7
Well the comedown here was easy
A
Like the arrival of a new day
Gmaj7
But a dream like this gets wasted without you
CHORUS
A Gmaj7
Under the pressure is where we are
A Gmaj7
Under the pressure, yeah it's where we are babe
VERSE 2
A Gmaj7
Holding over like an illusion
A
When it all breaks down and we're runaways
Standing in the wake of our pain
Gmaj7
And we stare straight into nothin'
But we're covered all the same
A
You were raised on a promise
Gmaj7
To find out over time
Better come around to the new way
Or watch as it all breaks down here
CHORUS
A
Under the pressure
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
First, play the same way you did before. But, when the solo ends and the drum stops,
use these chords:
A Bm A Bm G Bm G Bm
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|7---------9--7---------9--5-----------9--5------------9-|
A|7---------9--7---------9--5-----------9--5------------9-|
E|5---------7--5---------7--3-----------7--3------------7-|
- just keep strumming those chords, this goes on until the outro.
VERSE 3
A Bm
River break down here
A Bm G
Stolen away up top
Bm G
I wanna climb down the river
Bm
Staying alone
A Bm
When you come here and rested (?)
A
Lying in a ditch
Bm
Pissing in the wind
G
Lying on my back
Bm
Loosening my grip
Wading in the water
Just trying not to crack
CHORUS
A Bm
Under the pressure
G
That's where we are babe
A
Under the pressure
Bm G
OUTRO
the last three minutes of the song is one big drone in A.

This is a GREAT post. Really good job on the placement of the chord markings to emphasize the phrasing of the lyrics. Thank you!
