Superpowers Chords & Tabs
All the tabs I've seen for this intro are wrong or just seem completely senseless. Here
how it's played:
G---------------------8|---------10--10---|
D----------8-10-10-10--|-------8---11--11-|
A-11-11-11-------------|-9-9-9------------|
E----------------------|------------------|
(Note: There is a fast slide right before the last four notes in
lick. It starts at the 8th fret of string G and stretches quickly up two frets to the
fret.)
Play the whole line 2 times. Then the guitar will come in. Continue to repeat the line
more times. On the fouth time, a variation happens to lead into the main body of the
The whole last repetition is played as follows:
Intro/Verse
G----------------------|------------------|
D----------8-10--------|------------------|
A-11-11-11-----11-10-9-|------------------|
E----------------------|------------------|
Hold the very last note (9th fret) for four beats. From there, the bass line stays
until the bridge. Right before the bridge happens, there's another variation:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/five_iron_frenzy/superpowers_btab_ver_3.html ]
G---------------------8|---------10-------|
D----------8-10-10-10--|-------8------11--|
A-11-11-11-------------|-9-9-9------------|
E----------------------|------------------|
So basically the variation is to hold the last two notes for half a beat longer each and
out the doubles.
Bridge:
G-----0-----------|----------------| Repeat once.
D---1---1-----3---|--------1-1-----|
A-----------4---4-|----3-------4-4-|
E-----------------|-4----4---------|
G-----0----------|--------------|---------------------------------|

A-----------4---4|-3---3---2---2|-1-1-1-1-4-4---------------------|
E----------------|--------------|---------------------------------|
