(Riff)

(This is a straightforward rhythm based on the following chords)

C C\E F G \tab

e|---------------------------|

D|-----5-----5------3-----5--|

A|-----3-----3------3-----5--|

E|-----X-----0------1-----3--|

The secret to getting this chorus riff to sound right is to make sure you dampen the open E

string on the C chord. Use your left hand finger or your left-hand palm to do this. If this is

done correctly, when you introduce the open E on the chord, it'll sound fantastic. This riff

is used all throughout the choruses and outro of the song.

It's a simple progression over the Cm (x35543), Bb (x13331) and F (x65343) chords that make up the

Fragments of the chords are played in a sequence to form the verse riff.

The riff is as follows:

(-PH 1-) (----PH 2---) (----PH3--------|

e|--------------------------------------------|

B|-------------4--3--4--6-6------4--3---------|

G|---5--3--5---3--3--3--5-5---5--3--3--5------|

D|---5--3--5------------------5--------5------|

The PH's at the top of the tab simply represent the phrases, as I can't give too much detail on these

staves. This riff is played in the intro, every verse and the solo.

At the end of each chorus, you'll find that it ends with the following sequence to bridge to either

next verse or middle 8:

tab Bb\tab F G7

e|-------1-------1------3-----------------|

B|-------3-------1------3-----------------|

G|-------3-------2------4-----------------|

D|-------3\emdash-------3------3----------|

A|-------1-------3------5-----------------|

E|---------------1------3-----------------|

Now we'll go through the song and add in the bits I've given above.

(21 sec) Play riff throughout

NOTE: at the end of each verse grouping, Bb and F chords are used for emphasis.

The power of love is a curious thing

Make a one man weep, make another man sing

Change a hawk to a little white dove

Tougher than diamonds, bricks like cream

Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream

Make a bad one good make a wrong one right

[Chorus Riff]

(58 Sec)

Bb F G7 (BRIDGE)

but it might just save your life

\tab \tab \tab \tab (BEGIN VERSE RIFF AGAIN)

That's the power of love

That's the power of love Bb F

First time you feel it, it might make you sad

Next time you feel it, it might make you mad

But you'll be glad baby when you've found

That's the power makes the world go round Bb F

And it don't take money, don't take fame

Don't need no credit card to ride this train

It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes

But it might just save your life

(Just follow the chords below) (1:56 sec)

Fmin7 Eb

When it gets hold of you

(Begin Riff Again)

you feel the power of love

you feel the power of love

Can you feel it?

Hmmm

The PH's at the top of the tab simply represent the phrases of the solo, as I can't give too much detail

these basic staves. Listen to the recording to get the correct rhythms and details of slides, pull offs,

ons etc.

It don't take money and it don't take fame

Don't need no credit card to ride this train

Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel

You won't feel nothin' till you feel

You feel the power, just the power of love

That's the power, that's the power of love

You feel the power of love

You feel the power of love

Feel the power of love

Chris Hayes uses a clean humbucker sound with some tone rolled off. A clean amp sound will be

but to get that even tone you'll have to use mild compression.

For the chorus use as much American distortion as you can muster!

The middle 8 is simply shimmering clean with some chorus if you've got it.

The solo sound is overdrive with little middle tone. Use you middle pickup and add loads of reverb.

the record a delay is used to create a 50's echo effect.
