No Anthems Chords
By Sleater-Kinney
Tabbed by Lance Justice
Key of Dm
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, Dm and Am should be barred on the 5th fret, while C and G should be barred on the 3rd.
If A is played on the 5th fret, Bb must be played on the 6th. If A is open, Bb 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 Gm section is to quickly play Bb Am Gm or Bbm Am Gm. (This Bb must
be played on the 6th fret.) The same principle works following Dm by playing F Em Dm or Fm Em Dm. Unless you
are playing the entire song with primarily open chords, F/Fm should be played on the 8th fret and Em 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.
GmI'm the low hiss telling you something's amiss
When you hear the sound.
GmI'm the whisper, I can do it better
When I look around.
DmI'm the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf
You should really look down.
GmThere is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock
I really get around.
SeDmduction, pure functiGmon
It'Gms how IAm learned to Cspeak
Steal yourGm power, in my Gmhour
I could cGmhange most AmeveryDmthing Dm
GmI'm not the anthem,
GmI once was an DmantAmhem
IBb sang the song Aof me
BbBut Anow
GmThere are no anthems
And alGml I can hear is the Bbecho, and the rAing Bb A
GmI'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
DmI'm the pool boy fillin' you with cool joy
In my melody
GmI will lay low, figure out the way to go
Behind the scenes
GmI'm not the anthem,
GmI once was an DmantAmhem
I Bbsang the song of Ame
BbButA now
GmThere are no anthems
GmAnd all I can hear is the Bbecho, and the Aring
SeDmduction, pure functiGmon
It'Gms how IAm learned tCo speak
Steal yourGm power, in my Gmhour
I could cGmhange most evAmerytDmhing
GmI'm not the anthem,
GmI once was an anthDmem Gm
IBb sang the song of Ame
BbBut Amnow
GmThere are no anthems
GmAnd all I can hear is theBb echo, and the Aring Bb A
GmBut I want an anthem,
GmA singular DmantAmhem
An anBbswer and a Avoice
BbTo Afeel
GmRhythm in silence
Gm G5addC# Gm
A weapon, not vi-olence
BbPower, power souArce
