No Anthems Chords
By Sleater-Kinney
Tabbed by Lance Justice
Key of DmDm

The guitar should be tuned down one half-step for this version. If you wish not to change tunings, you can
simply transpose the song down one half-step (-1) and play in the key of C#m.

Ideally, DmDm and A minorAm should be barred on the 5th fret, while C majorC and G+G should be barred on the 3rd.
If A augmentedA is played on the 5th fret, Bb majorBb must be played on the 6th. If A augmentedA is open, Bb majorBb must be pled on the 1st fret.

Carries Brownstein uses one riff to transition within the verses that goes |-3-3-3--6-5-3--|. I tend to play
it on the high E-string, though I believe she varies that much more. That's all I could ID of tab.
Another way of transitioning following a G minorGm section is to quickly play Bb majorBb A minorAm G minorGm or BbmBbm A minorAm Gm. (This Bb majorBb must
be played on the 6th fret.) The same principle works following DmDm by playing FF E minorEm DmDm or F minorFm E minorEm Dm. Unless you
are playing the entire song with primarily open chords, F/Fm should be played on the 8th fret and E minorEm on the
7th fret.

G5addC#: 3x563x or x5563x or xx563x. This chord is optional; it's just an accent achieved by placing your
pinky on the 6th fret of the G-string.

The Final A minorAm (Am*) may be played as an A.

G minorGm
I'm the low hiss telling you something's amiss
When you hear the sound.
G minorGm
I'm the whisper, I can do it better
When I look around.
DmDm
I'm the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf
You should really look down.
G minorGm
There is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock
I really get around.

 DmDm         G minorGm
Seduction, pure function
  G minorGm   A minorAm     C majorC
It's how I learned to speak
     G minorGm      G minorGm
Steal your power, in my hour
     G minorGm     A minorAm  DmDm  DmDm
I could change most everything

G minorGm
I'm not the anthem,
G minorGm      DmDm A minorAm
I once was an anthem
 Bb majorBb       A augmentedA
I sang the song of me
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
But now
G minorGm
There are no anthems
   G minorGm         Bb majorBb       A augmentedA   Bb majorBb A augmentedA
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring

G minorGm
I'm the sidewinder watching how to cut you down
I don't say a word
I?m a slow dream plannin' out my next scheme
I lay my moves down
DmDm
I'm the pool boy fillin' you with cool joy
In my melody
G minorGm
I will lay low, figure out the way to go
Behind the scenes

G minorGm
I'm not the anthem,
G minorGm      DmDm A minorAm
I once was an anthem
 Bb majorBb        A augmentedA
I sang the song of me
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
But now
G minorGm
There are no anthems
G minorGm            Bb majorBb      A augmentedA
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring

 DmDm         G minorGm
Seduction, pure function
  G minorGm   A minorAm    C majorC
It's how I learned to speak
     G minorGm      G minorGm
Steal your power, in my hour
     G minorGm      A minorAm DmDm
I could change most everything

G minorGm
I'm not the anthem,
G minorGm        DmDm G minorGm
I once was an anthem
 Bb majorBb        A augmentedA
I sang the song of me
Bb majorBb A minorAm
But now
G minorGm
There are no anthems
G minorGm            Bb majorBb       A augmentedA    Bb majorBb A augmentedA
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring

G minorGm
But I want an anthem,
G minorGm     DmDm A minorAm
A augmentedA singular anthem
   Bb majorBb     A augmentedA
An answer and a voice
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
To feel
G minorGm
Rhythm in silence
G minorGm      G5addC# G minorGm
A augmentedA weapon, not vi-olence
Bb majorBb       Am*
Power, power source
