Band: Manic Street Preachers 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) / 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: Beauty finds refuge in herself Lovers wrapped inside each others lies Beauty is such a terrible thing She is suffering Yet more than death Chorus: (Played as barre chords) She is suffering She sucks you deeper in She is suffering You exist within her shadow Verse 2: Beauty she is scarred into man’s soul A flower attracting lust vice and sin A vine that can strangle life from a tree Carrion surrounding picking on leaves Chorus: (Played as barre chords) She is suffering She sucks you deeper in She is suffering You exist within her shadow Bridge: (Power chords) x4 Verse 3: Beauty she poisons unfaithful all Stifled her touch is leprous and pale The less she gives the more you need her No thoughts to forget when we were children Chorus: (Played as barre chords) She is suffering She sucks you deeper in She is suffering 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: |-5-| |-5-| |-5-| |-5-| |-6-| |-5-| |-7-| |-7-| |---| |---| |---| |---|
