Pressure Off by Nile Rodgers
Pressure Off
Tuning: E A D G B E
Tuning: Standard
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]
E C
Stepping out, stepping out, stepping out and jumping off
A
Stepping out, stepping out, stepping out and jumping off

Stepping out, stepping out, stepping out and jumping off

The past is another country

The present will never last

The future it's still tomorrow
Am G F#m
Are we living too fast?
E C
Searchlight the crowd I fix on your face
Am G F#m
I know it well, but it's a dream I can't place

Something is happening to me
Am G F#m
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

E C
We're swimming with the rat-race
Am G F#m
We're running against the tide
E C
And it's everybody's business
Am G F#m
When there's nowhere to hide
E C
Searchlight the crowd I'm fixed onto you

There is a way out of this into the blue

Something is happening to me

Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

I'm lost don't wanna be found
C
I'm up not gonna be down be down
A
Outside looking into myself
A
Just me I couldn't be anyone else
E
Is it bad when you're feeling this good?
C
Are we all misunderstood?
A
It's fine going out of my mind, going out of my mind, going out of my mind
[Chorus 3]

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.
