Pete Townshend es uno de los músicos que más influencia han dado a la historia del Rock. Ha sido el guitarrista y líder de The Who desde sus inicios, siendo el compositor y arreglista de sus mejores canciones.
Su obra maestra es sin duda la ópera rock Tommy, la cuál fue llevada al cine y en la cuál actuaron entre otros Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, Tina Turner, Elton John, Ann Margaret y The Who, siendo Roger Daltrey quien interpretó a Tommy.

G(D) DA(D) DG(D) DA(D) VERSE II: I'm like a connoseiur of champagne cognac, The G(D) DA(D) D Perfume nearly beats the taste G(D) D A(D) I eat an oyster and I feel the contact, But Em7 More than one would be a waste Some people want an endless line, that's true, But A7(sus4) A7 All I have to have's a little time with you, A A7(sus4) A7 Smile sets me reeling, A Bm Kiss feels like stealing, Your C Love is like heroin, This G Addict is mellowing, A7(sus4) I can't pretend that I'm tough, A7 When just a little is enough. G(D) DA(D) DG(D) DA(D) D *** INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: Dm / / / C(no 3rd) | Dm [etc, repeated ad infinitum] Just like a sailor heading into the sea, There's a G(D) DA(D) D Gale blowing in my face, The G(D) D A(D) High wind scares me but I need the breeze, And I Em7 Can't head for any other place Life would seem so easy on the other tack, But A7(sus4) A7 Even a hurricane won't turn me back, You A7(sus4) A7 Might be an island, on the Bm Distant horizon, but the C Little I see looks like G Heaven to me, and I don't A7(sus4) Care if the ocean gets rough, A7 'Cause just a little is enough. 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.
