Song: Everything Will Flow Album: Head Music (June 99) Released as a single (August 99) Written by: Bret Anderson Performed by: (The London) Suede Transcribed by: Fast Eddie Overview: Okay, even though this song has a lot of strings in it, it is very possible to play on the guitar. The same 4 chords are used throughout, and as always, the strings are dropped a half step like in all the other Suede songs. There are a lot of different variations on this main riff: eb:----1-------0-------1---|----0---| This part I have boxed is the part Bb:---3-3-------1-----1-1--|---1-1--| that changes most often. There are Gb:--2---2----0--0---2---2-|--2---2-| several different ways Richard goes Db:-0--------2------3------|-2------| about picking this Am chord. These Ab:---------3--------------|--------| are a few of the ways he'll play it. Eb:------------------------|--------| | _ _________________________________________/ / | eb:---------|----0-1-3-5-5-|----0---| They are all basically the same, Bb:---1---1-|---1----------|---1-1--| and they are played at the end of a Gb:--2---2--|--2-----------|--2---2-| line, this is the order they come in; Db:-2---2---|-2------------|-2------| 1,2,3,4. Ab:---------|--------------|--------| | Eb:---------|--------------|--------| | _________________________________________/ / | eb:----------|---------|----0-1-3-5-5-|----0------------| Bb:---1---1--|---1---1-|---1----------|---1-1-----------| Gb:--2---2-2-|--2---2--|--2-----------|--2---2----------| Db:-2---2--2-|-2---2---|-2------------|-2-----2---------| Ab:----------|---------|--------------|-----------------| Eb:----------|---------|--------------|-----------------| ============================================================================= Okay, that's the basic lesson, here's the song in full. ============================================================================= Intro: Notes: This is just the riff played over and over. And, although it's not E-E tuning, I'll just use those chord names anyway. :D Dm Dm C F Am eb:--1~~------1-------0-------1--------------| Bb:--3~~-----3-3-------1-----1-1-----1---1---| Gb:--2~~----2---2----0--0---2---2---2---2-2--| Db:--0~~---0--------2------3-------2---2---2-| Ab:----------------3-------------------------| Eb:------------------------------------------| Dm C F Am eb:-----1-------0-------1--------------| Bb:----3-3-------1-----1-1-----1---1---| Gb:---2---2----0--0---2---2---2---2-2--| Db:--0--------2------3-------2---2---2-| Ab:----------3-------------------------| Eb:------------------------------------| Verse: Notes: Simple yet poetic. That makes this song so great! Same as the intro, but if you can't get the picking down, just strum, it sounds good like that too, but if you do strum, be sure to get the riff at the end of each line! Dm C F Am eb:-----1-------0-------1--------------| Line 1 Bb:----3-3-------1-----1-1-----1---1---| Gb:---2---2----0--0---2---2---2---2-2--| Db:--0--------2------3-------2---2---2-| Ab:----------3-------------------------| Eb:------------------------------------| Dm C F Am eb:-----1-------0-------1--------------| Line 2 Bb:----3-3-------1-----1-1-----1---1---| Gb:---2---2----0--0---2---2---2---2-2--| Db:--0--------2------3-------2---2---2-| Ab:----------3-------------------------| Eb:------------------------------------| Dm C F Am eb:-----1-------0-------1-----------0-1-3-5-5-| Line 3 Bb:----3-3-------1-----1-1-----1---1----------| Gb:---2---2----0--0---2---2---2---2-----------| Db:--0--------2------3-------2---2------------| Ab:----------3--------------------------------| Eb:-------------------------------------------| Dm C F Am eb:-----1-------0-------1-------0---| Line 4 Bb:----3-3-------1-----1-1-----1-1--| Gb:---2---2----0--0---2---2---2---2-| Db:--0--------2------3-------2------| Ab:----------3----------------------| Eb:---------------------------------| Chorus: Notes: Nothing much, except that you should probably just strum this part. Or get an electric to play a chord at a time. :-) Dm C F Am eb:--1-------0-------1-------0------| Bb:--3-------1-------1-------1------| Gb:--2-------0-------2-------2------| Db:--0-------2-------3-------2------| Ab:----------3---------------0------| Eb:---------------------------------| Dm C F Am eb:--1-------0-------1-------0------| Bb:--3-------1-------1-------1------| Gb:--2-------0-------2-------2------| Db:--0-------2-------3-------2------| Ab:----------3---------------0------| Eb:---------------------------------| End part/Middle 8: Notes: It's just the same as the chorus. I won't bother to write it again. Lyrics: Notes: These are great! Actually read these! Try to figure out what they mean! These lyrics make the song so good! Watch the early morning sun, drip like blood from the day. See the pretty people run, so many games to play. See the blue suburban dream, under the jet plane sky. Sleep away and dream a dream, lif is just a lullaby. Oh, and everything will flow Oh, ya know, everything will flow, oh... Watch the day begin again, whispering into the night. See the pretty people play, hurrying under the light. A miilion cars, a million trains, under the jet plane sky. Nothing lost, and nothing gained, life is just a lullaby. Oh, and everything will flow Oh, I said everything will flow Oh, ya know everything will flow, oh... Oh, and everything will flow Oh, ya know everything will flow The neon lights in the night tonight I say, everything will flow. The stars that shine in the open sky know, everything will flow. The lovers kissed with an open lisp will say, everything will flow. The cars parked in the hyper market know, everything will flow. ============================================================================= Key: B - Bend the string, the number of "B"s mean how many times to bend the string farther. R - Release a bend to make a quick change. H - Hammer onto a different fret on the same string. P - Pull off a finger to make quick change. >> - Scrape pick against the string going down (towards lowest fret) << - Scrape pick against the string going up (towards highest fret) / - Slide finger/s down (towards highest fret) \ - Slide finger/s up (towards lowest fret) ^^^ - Make the string vibrate or just hold the note for awhile, it depends on how many of these there are.
