No Anthems by Sleater-Kinney




                                   No Anthems 








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. 

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

  Dm                  Gm
Seduction, pure function
   Gm     Am          C
It's how I learned to speak
          Gm            Gm
Steal your power, in my hour
         Gm         Am   Dm    Dm
I could change most everything

I'm not the anthem, 
Gm            Dm Am
I once was an anthem
 Bb             A
I sang the song of me
Bb  A
But now 
Gm
There are no anthems
      Gm                  Bb             A      Bb A
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring

Gm
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
Dm
I'm the pool boy fillin' you with cool joy
In my melody
Gm
I will lay low, figure out the way to go
Behind the scenes

Gm                                      
I'm not the anthem, 
Gm            Dm Am
I once was an anthem
  Bb               A
I sang the song of me
Bb A
But now 
Gm
There are no anthems
Gm                        Bb            A
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring

  Dm                  Gm
Seduction, pure function
   Gm     Am        C
It's how I learned to speak
          Gm            Gm
Steal your power, in my hour
         Gm           Am  Dm
I could change most everything

Gm                                      
I'm not the anthem, 
Gm                Dm Gm
I once was an anthem
 Bb                A
I sang the song of me
Bb  Am
But now 
Gm
There are no anthems
Gm                       Bb             A       Bb A
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring

Gm                                      
But I want an anthem, 
Gm         Dm Am
A singular anthem
     Bb         A        
An answer and a voice
Bb A
To feel
Gm
Rhythm in silence  
Gm           G5addC# Gm 
A weapon, not vi-olence
Bb              A
Power, power source
