[Intro]
Just a heavily distorted and vibratoed G note at the 12th
fret that slowly becomes an Ab as the verse begins.

[Verse 1]
Ab FmMonday morning, subway station
Bbm Db EbPushers pushing, racers racing
Ab FmCame the message on the station
Bbm Db Eb"The power's out across the nation"
Bbm EbAnd, "Ladies and gentleman, it seems we got a problem"
Bbm Gb EbThe man on my screen said, just as somebody shot him
BbmAnd the mothers gasped, the children cried
Gb EbAlmost could not believe my eyes
[Chorus]
Ab Bbm DbThe power's out
AbAnd no one can save us
Ab Bbm DbNo one can blame us now
Bbm Gb EbThat the power's out
[Verse 2]
Ab FmIt was pouring like a movie
Bbm Db EbEvery stranger looked like they knew me
Ab FmHandsome cowboys praying, Gothic
Bbm Db EbSaid, "I just remembered being happy"
Bbm EbAnd "Ladies and gentleman, Do remember me smiling"
Bbm Gb EbThe queer on the train said as she jumped off the platform
Bbm BbmAnd some blind folks held the police, crying
Gb EbI swear to you I would not lie
[Chorus]
Ab Fm Bbm Db EbThe power's out
AbAnd no one can save us
Fm Bbm Db EbNo one can blame us now
Ab Fm Bbm Db EbCause the power's out
Ab Fm Bbm Db EbThe power's out
AbAnd no one can save us
Fm Bbm Db EbNo one can blame us now
Bbm EbThat the power's out
Eb N.C.
That's why I never came home
[Outro]
This is kind of the main riff at the end of the song and reflects the bassline throughout. It is also played
during the second chorus in the background. The song is in 3/4 time so I've tried to tab the rhythm as best
as I can.
