Tuning: E A D G B E
Duran Duran - Pressure Off (2015) Tabbed by: trevgreg Email: trevgreg1227@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard Here is the lone single off of the band’s 2015 album, Paper Gods. This is one of two songs on the album that feature the band’s frequent collaborator, Nile Rodgers, on guitar. Please remember that these are just basic chord arrangements and not necessarily what Nile is playing specifically, especially considering his usual style of play! I have an approximate styling for his playing on the intro and chorus riff below the lyrics as well. The final ‘A’ chord played in the intro, interlude before the middle 8 and the middle 8 itself appear to be played briefly by Nile and are very short. [Intro/Chorus/Middle 8/Outro] E C A [Verses] E C Am G F#m [Intro]
EStepping out, stepping out, Cstepping out and jumping off AStepping out, stepping out, stepping out and jumping off EStepping out, stepping out, Cstepping out and jumping off APressure off, pressure off; pressure, pressure, pressure off
[Verse 1]
EThe past is another Ccountry The Ampresent will never lastG F#m EThe future it's still tComorrow Are we Amliving too fast?G F#m ESearchlight the crowd I Cfix on your face AmI know it well, but it's a Gdream I can't F#mplace ESomething is happening to Cme AmMaybe it's happening to Gyou, you, F#myou, you

EStepping,C stepping,Am stepping It’s tGime to take the F#mpressure off
[Verse 2]
EWe're swimming with the Crat-race We're Amrunning against the Gtide F#m And it's Eeverybody's Cbusiness When there's Amnowhere to Ghide F#m ESearchlight the crowd I'm Cfixed onto you AmThere is a way out of this Ginto the F#mblue ESomething is happening to Cme AmMaybe it's happening to Gyou, you, F#myou, you

Here is my best guess as to how Nile actually plays the intro and chorus, based off his fingerings and style. It’s not perfect, but with a bit of palm muting and up-and-down motions, it should sound somewhat close.
