E(no 3rd) / / / | x 4 INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: [Repeat all chords from "They say that love often passes" . . . "match is rough"] Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm A7(sus4) A7 After a piece of that diamond in you, So A7(sus4) A7 Keep an eye open, My Bm Spirit ain't broken, Your C Love's so incredible, Your G Body's so edible, You A7(sus4) Give me an overdose of love, A7 But just a little is enough. E(no 3rd) / / / | [repeat to fade] *** This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord (or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only 'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for the tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the end/start of each bar. This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections towards the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same way. Collector of tabs for The Who...
