U2
Album: THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE (1984)
A Sort of Homecoming
--------------------
Intro G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2
And you know it's time to go
G6 D2
through the sleet and driving snow
G6 D2
across the fields of mourning to a
G6
light's in the distance
D2 G6 D4 D2
And you hunger for the time
time to heal, 'Desire', time
and your earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D Gii
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run________
G G2 G G2
I'll be there, I'll be there
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight, a high road, a high road out of here
the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it's own
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I hmm hmm
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D G
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run, and still we run, we run and don't look back
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D D4
I'll be there, I'll be there tonight tonight tonight
C7
I'll be there tonight, I believe. I'll be there so high (land),
D D2 G6 D2
I'll be there tonight, tonight____________
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, I sing I say, um ha, o come away oh say.
G6 D2 G6 D2
G6
The wind will crack in wintertime
D2 G6
this bomb-blast lightning waltz
D2 G6 D2 G6 D4 D G G2 G G2
no spoken words, just a scream . . . yeah.... oh........ oh.....
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
G G2
see the sky burning rain
G G2 D2 D4 D Gii G6 D2 G6 D4 D G6 D2 G6 D4 D
she will die and live again tonight_______
And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

Pride (In the name of love) [Capo on 1st fret]
Intro chords A A G Em
A D
One man come in the name of love,
G Em
One man come and go.
A D
One come here to justify,
G Em
One man to overthrow,
A D
In the name of love,
G Em
What more in the name of love.
One man crawled on a barbed wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.

In a spiral staircase

F C
Roman candlelightning lights up the sky.
In cracked streets, trample underfoot
Sidestep, sidewalk.
I see you stare into space.
Have I gotten closer now,
behind the face.
Tell me, will you dance with me,
and turn me around tonight.
Up though the spiral staircase to the higher ground.
See slide show, see side town,
coca-cola, football, radio radio radio . . .

"Two Hearts Beat As One"
Intro: C#m, (E), F# C#m, (E), F#
C#m F#
I don't know, I don't know which side I'm on
C#m F#
I don't know my right from left, or my right from wrong
C#m F#
Say I'm a fool, say I'm not for you
C#m F#
But if I'm a fool for you, that's something
E F#
Two hearts, beat as one
E F#
Two hearts beat as one
-OR-
G#m F#
Two hearts, beat as one
G#m F#
Two hearts, beat as one
I can't tell if G#m or E sounds better. It's probably a weird chord.
I also can't tell if the E should be played in the intro, (or
throughout the song for that matter). The rest of the song repeats in
almost the same manner.
*************************************************************************
"40"
This song is mainly alternating two chords, G to C or A to D. (In the
song, it's actually G# to C#, just like All I Want Is You) If you use
G to C, tune up a half tone, A to D, tune down a half tone.
Intro G, C, G, C
G C
I waited patiently for the Lord, he inclined and heard my cry
G C
He brought me right out of the pit, out of my reglade
G C G C G
I will sing, sing a new song, I will sing, sing a new song
G G C
How long to sing this song? ...
(the song repeats in the same manner)

It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do

Our love turns to rust

Blown by the wind, oh and I see love

I have climbed the highest mountains

:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire this burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds, you loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame, and my shame
You know I believed it
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:

to play the original version, replace the four chords.
D A Bm
See the stone set in your eyes,
G D
See the thorn twist in your side
A Bm G
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait....without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you, with or without you
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes deep into saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city graon
Outside is America
Outside is America

run from the darkness in the night, singing
A C G
ah, ah la la la de day

ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
from the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singing
ah, ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day

She runs through the street with her eyes painted red

under black belly of cloud in the rain
D
in through the doorway she brings me
G D
white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging

she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will
A C G
suffer the needle chill
A C G D G D G D
she's running to stand still

G C
From Father to Son the blood runs thin
G C
Our faces frozen (still) against the wind
G C
The seam is split, the coal face cracked
G C
The lines are long and there's no going back
G C
Through hands of steel and a heart of stone
G C D
Our labour day has come and gone
A
And you leave us holding on
F
In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down
G D
I'm hanging on
F C
You're all that's left to hold on to
G D
I'm holding on
F C
You're all that's left to hold on to
The glass is cut, the bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold in the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt
I can lose myself, you I can't live without
Because you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down
I'm hanging on ...
And we scorch the earth, set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so hihgh
A link is lost, the chain undone
Now we wait all day for the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
G D
We see love slowly stripped away
F C
Our love, has seen a better day
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm holding on
You're all that's left to hold on to
See the lights go down on Red Hill Town
See lights go down on Red Hill Town

D Am
Desert Sky
D Am
Dream beneath a desert sky
D Am
The rivers run but soon run dry
D Am
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me
Em G D Em G D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em G D Em G D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country
Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
To see what's on the other side
She is Liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
D Am
Burned by the fire of love
D Am

Trip Through Your Wires

G F9 C9
In the distance
G F9 C9
She saw me coming round
G F9 C9
I was calling out
G F9 C9
I was calling out
Still shaking, still in pain
You put me back together again
I was cold and you clothed me honey
I was down and you lifted me honey
Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
C G
You, I'm waiting for you
Bb F/C
You, you set my desire
C G
I trip through your wires
I was broken, bent out of shape
I was naked in the clothes you made
My lips were dry, throat like rust
You gave me shelter
From the heat and the dust
There's no more water in the well
No more water in the well
Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire
I trip through your wires
Thunder, thunder on the mountain
There's a raincloud in the desert sky
In the distance, she saw me coming round
I was calling out, I was calling out
******************************************************************************
One Tree Hill
--- ---- ----
C F
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
Bb F C
As the day begs the night for mercy
Your sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
Bb F C
You ran like river to the sea
Bb F C
Like a river to the sea
And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone
Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground
It runs like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
We run like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea
******************************************************************************
Exit

Em
You know he got the cure...but then he went astray,
C G
He used to stay awake to drive the dreams he had away
Em C G
He wanted to believe in the hands of love...
His head it felt heavy as he cut across the land
A dog started crying like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind... the howling wind
He went deeper into black, deeper into white...
he could see the stars shine like nails in the night
He felt the healing, healing, healing, healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny, shiny... from above.
He put his hands in the pocket, his finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy, his heart he could feel
Was beating, beating, beating, beating oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.
(He saw the hands that build could also pull down....
The hands of love)

Mothers of the Disappeared (tab)
--------------------------
The main guitar is acoustic, and the 2nd guitar is a distorted electric.
How to decipher my notation: top line is guitar type (if it is necessary
to point out), 2nd line is lyrics, 3rd line is chord names, 4th is treble
rhythm. Then the TAB, and under that is bass rhythm. You'll figure it out.
Notation:
s - sixteenth note e - eighth note q - quarter note
h - half note w - whole note ^ - ties two note lengths together
. - play note for one and a half times the value before it
(just like a dot in standard notation)
NOTE LENGTHS IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN REST FOR THAT VALUE OF TIME!
/ - slide up \ - slide down h - hammer-on p - pull-off
(Acoustic guitar - let ring)

for the chords on the first line of the tab.

Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us

Hear their heartbeat...

We hear their heartbeat
In the wind, we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears

Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat..., we hear their heartbeat
In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall

A Sort of Homecoming
--------------------
Intro G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2
And you know it's time to go
G6 D2
through the sleet and driving snow
G6 D2
across the fields of mourning to a
G6
light's in the distance
D2 G6 D4 D2
And you hunger for the time
time to heal, 'Desire', time
and your earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D Gii
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run________
G G2 G G2
I'll be there, I'll be there
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight, a high road, a high road out of here
the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it's own
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I hmm hmm
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D G
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run, and still we run, we run and don't look back
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D D4
I'll be there, I'll be there tonight tonight tonight
C7
I'll be there tonight, I believe. I'll be there so high (land),
D D2 G6 D2
I'll be there tonight, tonight____________
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, I sing I say, um ha, o come away oh say.
G6 D2 G6 D2
G6
The wind will crack in wintertime
D2 G6
this bomb-blast lightning waltz
D2 G6 D2 G6 D4 D G G2 G G2
no spoken words, just a scream . . . yeah.... oh........ oh.....
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
G G2
see the sky burning rain
G G2 D2 D4 D Gii G6 D2 G6 D4 D G6 D2 G6 D4 D
she will die and live again tonight_______
And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

Pride (In the name of love) [Capo on 1st fret]
Intro chords A A G Em
A D
One man come in the name of love,
G Em
One man come and go.
A D
One come here to justify,
G Em
One man to overthrow,
A D
In the name of love,
G Em
What more in the name of love.
One man crawled on a barbed wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.

Have I gotten closer now,
behind the face.
Tell me, will you dance with me,
and turn me around tonight.
Up though the spiral staircase to the higher ground.
See slide show, see side town,

"Two Hearts Beat As One"
Intro: C#m, (E), F# C#m, (E), F#
C#m F#
I don't know, I don't know which side I'm on
C#m F#
I don't know my right from left, or my right from wrong
C#m F#
Say I'm a fool, say I'm not for you
C#m F#
But if I'm a fool for you, that's something
E F#
Two hearts, beat as one
E F#
Two hearts beat as one
-OR-
G#m F#
Two hearts, beat as one
G#m F#
Two hearts, beat as one
I can't tell if G#m or E sounds better. It's probably a weird chord.
I also can't tell if the E should be played in the intro, (or
throughout the song for that matter). The rest of the song repeats in
almost the same manner.
*************************************************************************
"40"
This song is mainly alternating two chords, G to C or A to D. (In the
song, it's actually G# to C#, just like All I Want Is You) If you use
G to C, tune up a half tone, A to D, tune down a half tone.
Intro G, C, G, C
G C
I waited patiently for the Lord, he inclined and heard my cry
G C
He brought me right out of the pit, out of my reglade
G C G C G
I will sing, sing a new song, I will sing, sing a new song
G G C
How long to sing this song? ...
(the song repeats in the same manner)

We're still building then burning down love

And when I go there, I go there with you...

It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do

Our love turns to rust

:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire this burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds, you loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame, and my shame
You know I believed it
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:

to play the original version, replace the four chords.
D A Bm
See the stone set in your eyes,
G D
See the thorn twist in your side
A Bm G
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait....without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you, with or without you
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes deep into saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city graon
Outside is America
Outside is America

And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said I

got to do something about where we're going.

Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe
D G
run from the darkness in the night, singing
A C G
ah, ah la la la de day
A C G D G
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
from the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singing
ah, ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
G D G
oooh, oooh, oooh

She runs through the street with her eyes painted red
G
under black belly of cloud in the rain
D
in through the doorway she brings me
G D
white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging
G
she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will
A C G
suffer the needle chill
A C G D G D G D
she's running to stand still

The glass is cut, the bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold in the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt
I can lose myself, you I can't live without
Because you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down
I'm hanging on ...
And we scorch the earth, set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so hihgh
A link is lost, the chain undone
Now we wait all day for the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
G D
We see love slowly stripped away
F C
Our love, has seen a better day
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm holding on
You're all that's left to hold on to
See the lights go down on Red Hill Town
See lights go down on Red Hill Town

Dream beneath a desert sky

The rivers run but soon run dry

We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me

Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em G D Em G D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country
Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
To see what's on the other side
She is Liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love

Burned by the fire of love

In the distance

She saw me coming round
G F9 C9
I was calling out
G F9 C9
I was calling out
Still shaking, still in pain
You put me back together again
I was cold and you clothed me honey
I was down and you lifted me honey
Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
C G
You, I'm waiting for you
Bb F/C
You, you set my desire
C G
I trip through your wires
I was broken, bent out of shape
I was naked in the clothes you made
My lips were dry, throat like rust
You gave me shelter
From the heat and the dust
There's no more water in the well
No more water in the well
Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire
I trip through your wires
Thunder, thunder on the mountain
There's a raincloud in the desert sky
In the distance, she saw me coming round
I was calling out, I was calling out

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
Bb F C
As the day begs the night for mercy
Your sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
Bb F C
You ran like river to the sea
Bb F C
Like a river to the sea
And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone
Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground
It runs like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
We run like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
We hurt each other then we do it again
You say

Love is a temple, Love a higher law

You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl

One life, you got to do what you should
One life with each other

One life, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other

To watch you go down...my love
I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby...you're nowhere
A-D-E-A
Aaaaaaah,
A D E A
You say in love there are no rules
A D E A E
Oh......love Sweetheart

You're so cruel
Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie
Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug
You say in love there are no rules
Oh......love Sweetheart, you're so cruel
F#m
She wears my love
D
Like a see-through dress
A
Her lips say one thing
E
Her movements something else
C#m
Oh love, like a screaming flower
A
Love, dying every hour
And you don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher?
Head of heaven, fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing... you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
You say in love there are no rules
Oh......love Sweetheart
You're so cruel
To stay with you I'd be a fool
D C#m A E
oh....hah hah Sweetheart

You're so cruel.

"Mysterious Ways"
---------------
(Heavy distortion recommended)
This song can be played with a capo on the 8th fret, if you can do that.
Then it becomes fairly simple just playing D instead of A, etc. (see the
chord formations). Or you can play it with a capo on 1st fret, which is
how I've finally put the chords. [Editor's Comment]
Intro/transitions: (Repeated about 9 times)
E--------------------------------------
B------10-10---------------------------
G-------9--9---------------------------
D----7--7--7---------------------------
A-10-----------------------------------
E--------------------------------------
(Note: the above is basically the A chord played on a few strings)
(Note: chords given below generally are played by an organ in background)
A D
Johnny took a walk with your sister the moon
A E
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
A D
You've been living underground, eating from a can
A E A
You've been running away from what you don't understand (love)
Chorus: (the chorus basically just switches back between the A and D chords)
E--------------10-10-|-----------------
B------10-10---10-10-|-----------------
G-------9--9----7--7-|-----------------
D-------7--7---------|-----------------
A--------------------|-----------------

(A) (D)
(So, when you see A or D, play the above chord formations, respectively)
A D
She's slippy, you're sliding down
A D
She'll be there when you hit the ground
A D
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
C G
She moves in mysterious ways
A D
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
C G
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!)
She's the wave, she turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways (x3)
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
Lift my days...light up my nights

Six o'clock in the morning

You're the last to hear the warning
A D A D
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world
You've been falling off the sidewalk
Your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world
A D A D A D-A-D
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...run to you...be still
A D A D A D-A-D
I'm gonna run to you...run to you...run to you...woman I will
Sunrise like a nosebleed, your head hurts and you can't breathe
You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
How far are you gonna go before you lose your way back home?
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you...
I dreamed that I saw Dali with a supermarket trolley
He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open top beetle through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you...
Bridge: A-E-D-A A-E-D A-D-A-D-.....
Nothin' much to say I guess, just the same as all the rest
Been trying to throw your arms around the world
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you...run to you
I'm gonna run to you...run to you
I'm gonna run to you...run to you
Woman be still...woman be still
Be still...woman be still, woman I will

But your love's like a secret that's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house where no one can sleep

Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way

But now we lie together in whispers and moans
When I was all messed up, and I heard opera in my head

F G Am
... Don't let the bastards grind you down
No nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement if there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine if there was a church I could receive in
'Cos I need it now
To take the cup, to fill it up
To drink it slow, I can't let you go
And I must be an Acrobat to talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
... Don't let the bastards grind you down
What are we going to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And you can find your own way out
You can build and I can will
And you can call I can't wait until
You can stash and you can seize
In dreams begin responsibilities
And I can love, and I can love
I know that the tide is turning 'round
...Don't let the bastards grind you down

"Love Is Blindness"
-----------------
Bm A
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
G Em
Won't you wrap the night around me
Bm F# Bm
Take my heart, love is blindness
In a parked car, in a crowded street
You see your love made complete
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping, love is blindness
Love is clockworks, and cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle, love is blindness
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Oh my love, blindness
C G/B
A little death, without mourning
F# Bm
No call, and no warning
C G/B
Baby... a dangerous idea
F#
That almost makes sense
Solo: Bm A G Em Bm F# Bm
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets and no one to tell
Take the money, honey, blindness
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Oh my love, blindness
End: Bm A G Em Bm F# Bm

I want to run, I want to hide

I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
Bm
I want to reach out

And touch the flame
Csus9
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
D
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
G
We're still building then burning down love
Burning down love
Bm A
And when I go there, I go there with you...
D
It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
D
Our love turns to rust
G
And we're beaten and blown by the wind
D
Blown by the wind, oh and I see love
See our love turn to rust

And we're beaten and blown by the wind

I go there with you, it's all I can do

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
- ----- ------- ----- ---- --- ------- ---
C
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
F
Only to be with you
C
Only to be with you
C
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
F
Only to be with you
C
Only to be with you
G F C
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire this burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds, you loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame, and my shame
You know I believed it
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:

With or Without You
---- -- ------- ---
Same four chords repeat throughout song:
D D/A Bm7 G/D
A simplified version can be played. Here it goes. If you want
to play the original version, replace the four chords.
D A Bm
See the stone set in your eyes,
G D
See the thorn twist in your side
A Bm G
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait....without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you, with or without you
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
>From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes deep into saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city graon
Outside is America
Outside is America

Running to Stand Still

D G
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said I
D G
got to do something about where we're going.
D G
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe
D G
run from the darkness in the night, singing
A C G
ah, ah la la la de day
A C G D G
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
from the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singing
ah, ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
G D G
oooh, oooh, oooh
D
She runs through the street with her eyes painted red
G
under black belly of cloud in the rain
D
in through the doorway she brings me
G D
white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging
G
she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will
A C G
suffer the needle chill
A C G D G D G D
she's running to stand still

>From Father to Son the blood runs thin

Our faces frozen (still) against the wind

The seam is split, the coal face cracked
G C
The lines are long and there's no going back
G C
Through hands of steel and a heart of stone
G C D
Our labour day has come and gone
A
And you leave us holding on
F
In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down
G D
I'm hanging on
F C
You're all that's left to hold on to
G D
I'm holding on
F C
You're all that's left to hold on to
The glass is cut, the bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold in the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt
I can lose myself, you I can't live without
Because you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down
I'm hanging on ...
And we scorch the earth, set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so hihgh
A link is lost, the chain undone
Now we wait all day for the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
G D
We see love slowly stripped away
F C
Our love, has seen a better day
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm holding on
You're all that's left to hold on to
See the lights go down on Red Hill Town
See lights go down on Red Hill Town

Desert Sky
D Am
Dream beneath a desert sky
D Am
The rivers run but soon run dry
D Am
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me
Em G D Em G D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em G D Em G D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country
Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
To see what's on the other side
She is Liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
D Am
Burned by the fire of love
D Am

Trip Through Your Wires

G F9 C9
In the distance
G F9 C9
She saw me coming round
G F9 C9
I was calling out
G F9 C9
I was calling out
Still shaking, still in pain
You put me back together again
I was cold and you clothed me honey
I was down and you lifted me honey
Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
C G
You, I'm waiting for you
Bb F/C
You, you set my desire
C G
I trip through your wires
I was broken, bent out of shape
I was naked in the clothes you made
My lips were dry, throat like rust
You gave me shelter
>From the heat and the dust
There's no more water in the well
No more water in the well
Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire
I trip through your wires
Thunder, thunder on the mountain
There's a raincloud in the desert sky
In the distance, she saw me coming round
I was calling out, I was calling out

One Tree Hill
--- ---- ----
C F
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
Bb F C
As the day begs the night for mercy
Your sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
Bb F C
You ran like river to the sea
Bb F C
Like a river to the sea
And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone
Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground
It runs like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
We run like a river to the sea, like a river to the sea
******************************************************************************
Exit

Em
You know he got the cure...but then he went astray,
C G
He used to stay awake to drive the dreams he had away
Em C G
He wanted to believe in the hands of love...
His head it felt heavy as he cut across the land
A dog started crying like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind... the howling wind
He went deeper into black, deeper into white...
he could see the stars shine like nails in the night
He felt the healing, healing, healing, healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny, shiny... from above.
He put his hands in the pocket, his finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy, his heart he could feel
Was beating, beating, beating, beating oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.
(He saw the hands that build could also pull down....
The hands of love)

Mothers of the Disappeared (tab)
--------------------------
The main guitar is acoustic, and the 2nd guitar is a distorted electric.
How to decipher my notation: top line is guitar type (if it is necessary
to point out), 2nd line is lyrics, 3rd line is chord names, 4th is treble
rhythm. Then the TAB, and under that is bass rhythm. You'll figure it out.
Notation:
s - sixteenth note e - eighth note q - quarter note
h - half note w - whole note ^ - ties two note lengths together
. - play note for one and a half times the value before it
(just like a dot in standard notation)
NOTE LENGTHS IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN REST FOR THAT VALUE OF TIME!
/ - slide up \ - slide down h - hammer-on p - pull-off
(Acoustic guitar - let ring)

Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us

Hear their heartbeat...

We hear their heartbeat
In the wind, we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears

Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat..., we hear their heartbeat
In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall

Helter skelter Yeah
So much for verses and choruses. The rest are pretty much the same,
except that the rest of the verses hit the G chord a little sooner
(at the beginning of the third line of the verse).
Here's the guitar solo in the middle:
E A E
-|----------------------7--7--15b(17)--15b(17)--b(17)15-------------
-|----------------------0--0----------------------------------------

-|---------------------------14----------------------------------------14~--
-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, there's a neat riff in one of the last verses. I think it
comes right after "will you won't you want me to make you" or something
like that. This is a cool riff with that looonnnng slide.
-|--12--15b(17)--b(17)15--12------12----------------------------------------

-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the song fades into the first ending, there are some nice bend releases,
while the lyrics repeat "coming down fast":
-|--b(17)15------------------------------------------------------------
-|-----------b(17)15---------------------------------------------------
-|--------------------b(16)14------------------------------------------
-|-----------------------------b(14)12---------------------------------
-|--------------------------------------b(14)12------------------------
-|---------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, there's a whole lot of Hendrix-like guitar noise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Till you get to the bottom
Then you see me again
Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Do you, don't you want me to make you?
Coming down fast I don't want me to break you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

When you get to the bottom
you go back to the top of the slide
Where you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Till you get to the bottom
And I see you again
Do you, don't you want me to love you ?
Coming down fast I'm right above you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

"Van Diemen's Land"
----------------
G C G C G
Hold me now, oh hold me now
Em C D
Till this hour has gone around
Bm Em C
And I'm gone on the rising tide
G D G C G
For to face Van Diemen's land
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in the dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage
Hold me now, hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land
Still the gunman rules and widows pay
A scarlet coat now a black beret
They thought that blood and sacrifice
Could out of death bring forth a life
NOTE: All chords are played in arpeggio (first from
low frequency to high frequency and then back).

Intro and verses: Dsus2-A-E-Esus4-E (this is labeled [+])
[+] [+]
Yeah, lover I'm on the streets
[+] [+]
Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
Dsus2 A [+]
With a red guitar, on fire, Desire
She's the candle burning in my room
I'm like the needle - needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire
Dsus2 A Dsus2 E
(Burning, burning)
She's the dollars
She's my protection
She's a promise
In the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts at a traveling show
For love or money, money, money
Desire

C#m B A B C#m B A B
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
C#m B A B C#m B A B
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
C#m B A B C#m B A B
Businessmen they drink my wine, plowman dig my earth,
C#m B A B C#m B A B
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No need to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who think that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and that is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire this burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds, you loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame, and my shame
You know I believed it

"Yep. Silver and gold.
This song was written in a hotel room in New York City.
Right about the time a friend of ours, little Steven,
as pulling together a record of artists against Apartheid.
It's a song written about a man, in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg.
A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of White South Africa.
A man at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor.
A man who's lost faith in the peace makers of the West.
While they argue and while they fail to support a man like Bishop Tutu.
And his request for economic sanctions against South Africa.
Am I bugging you? I don't mean to bug ya'.
Okay Edge, play the blues."

One man come in the name of love,

One man come and go.

One come here to justify,

One man to overthrow,
A D
In the name of love,

What more in the name of love.
One man crawled on a barbed wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.

Miles and she has to be an Angel
Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies (Angel)
Soul love this love won't let me go
So long...Angel of Harlem
Bridge:
Am G F Am G F
ooh ooh ooh ooh she sings with heart, heart and soul
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
On the side streets and the alleyways
Like a star exploding in the night
Filling up the city with broad daylight
An Angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an Angel
So long...Angel of Harlem
Angel, Angel of Harlem (4 times and fade)

I see the dark shades of what I used to be
I see the purple of her eyes

Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm hanging by my thumbs
I'm ready for whatever comes
Love rescue me

Will soon have lost sight of me

"When Love Comes to Town"
You actually don't play the chords that are in parenthesis, if you
do an acoustic version, play then all of them, but the actual guitar
part played by The Edge is what you see w/o parenthesis.
The rhythm guitar part is just change between A and E: just hit each
chord once one after the other and let it ring until the next one like
that, if you listen closely to the tape you can hear it. All music stops
where I wrote "E(stop),"But The Edge has a delay going over his rhythm
part and you can hear it really clear at the stops.
Intro(Bono): guitar part just as in the first two lines of verse:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Verse1(Bono):
(E) A E
I was a sailor, I was lost in sea
(E) A E
I was under the waves, before loves resqued me
(E) (A E)
I was a fighter I could turn on threat
E(stop)
Now I stand accused of things I've said.
Chorus(B.B.):
(A)
Love comes to town,
A
I'm gonna jump that train
E
When love comes to town,
A E
I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
E(stop)
But I did what I did before love came to town.
This is the B.B.'s fill, do it twice:
(* means bend it up 1/4 of a step)
--------------------E
---5*--5*----3-3----B
------------------4-G
--------------------D
--------------------A
--------------------E
Verse 2(Bono):
Used to make love under the red sunset,
I was making promises I that were soon to forget.
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown,
But I left her standing before love came to town.
Verse 3(Bono):
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream,
The notes were turning blue as days are a dream.
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town.
Chorus(B.B.):
The Edge solo (he picks open E chord)
Play the figure 4 times (# this note plays only the first time):
0#-|-----------0-|----------E
---|--0----------|----------B
---|----1--------|----------G
---|-----2-------|----------D
---|-------2-----|----------A
---|---------0---|----------E
Chorus(B.B.) over The Edge's solo part (the figure above):
B.B.'s solo, sorry I do not remember it, but it is basically played
around the fill he does between the first chorus and the second verse.
Verse 4(B.B.), there is no guitar part over this one:
I was there when they crucified my lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice as they pierced his side,
But I've seen love conquer the great divide.
Chorus(B.B.):
The second solo by B.B. in the beginning of which Bono sings his famous:
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.........."
And it fades as B.B. solos.

E7
Don't believe the devil, I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up
A
I don't believe in excess, success is to give
E7
I don't believe in riches, but you should see where I live
B (Bb) A E7
I......I believe in love
I don't believe in forced entry, I don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by, wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in skid-row, death-row or the gangs
I don't believe in the Uzi, it just went off in my hand
I......I believe in love
I don't believe in cocaine, I got a speed-ball in my head
I could crack you open Do you hear what I said ?
I don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy and the sick stay poor
I......I believe in love
I don't believe in Goldman, his type like a curse
Instant karma's going to get him if I don't get him first
I don't believe in rock 'n roll can really change the world
As it spins in revolution, spirals and turns
I......I believe in love
I don't believe in the 60's, the golden age of pop
You glorify the past when the future dries up
I heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's going to kick the darkness, until it bleeds daylight
I......I believe in love
I feel like I'm falling I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside me with a presence I can feel
I......I believe in love

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into the souls on a tree of pain
From the firefly a red-orange glow
I see the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
In locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Judith wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome
She had a demon seed
She rase flower of fire
I see her burning crosses
I see the flames higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
And I see her come up to me
Her dress red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And she's pealing off those dollar bills
And slapping them down
One hundred
Two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys and quiet city streets
Up a staircase to the first floor
I turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
Outside it's America
"So I'm back in my hotel room,
With Johnnie Coltrane and the love supreme,
In the next room I hear some woman scream out,
That her lover's turning off,
Turning on the television,
I can't tell the difference between :-
ABC news, Hill Street Blues
And some preacher in the old time gospel hour
Stealing money from the sick and the old
Well the God I believe in ain't short of cash Mister !!"
See across the view
See the sky ripped open
See the rain pounding the women and children
Who run
Into the arms of America......

Makes me come up like some heroine
She is recreation
She intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she
Here I go when I don't know why

Heading for a spin
Some strange music drives me on
Makes me come up like some heroine

LEMON
Intro: Dm Bb Gm
Dm Bb Gm
Lemon, see through in the sunlight
Dm Bb Gm
She wore lemon, never in the daylight
Dm
She's gonna make you cry
Bb Gm
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
Dm Bb Gm
But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone
C Gm Bb
I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
C Gm Bb
I feel like I'm holding onto nothing
She wore lemon to colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven and she held on so tight
A man makes a picture, a moving picture
Through light projected he can see himself up close
A man captures colour, a man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her
And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her
F C Bb
Ohhhhhh.........................
F C Bb
Midnight is where the day begins (x3)
Lemon, see through in the sunlight
A man builds a city with banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand so he can
See the world outside You're gonna meet her there
A man makes a car She's your destination
And builds roads to run (them) on You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving She's imagination
But he always stays behind
And these are the days when our work has come assunder
And these are the days when we look for something other
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
A man makes a picture, a moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close Gotta meet her there
A man captures colour She's your destination
A man likes to stare There's no sleeping there
He turns his money into light She's imagination
To look for her
She is the dreamer
She's imagination
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close

STAY (FARAWAY, SO CLOSE!)
The chord which I have labeled 'D*' is basically a D chord
with a nice picking pattern which I try to get close to by
playing D7+ and plain D, as follows:
E --x-x--x-x--2-----x-x--x-x--2---
B --2-3--2-3--3-----2-3--2-3--3---
G --2-2--2-2--2-----2-2--2-2--2---
D ---h----h----------h----h-------
A --------------------------------
E --------------------------------
D* Em
Green light, Seven Eleven
G D*
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
Em
You don't smoke, don't even want to
G D*
Hey now, check your change
Em
Dressed up like a car crash
G D*
The wheels are turning but you're upside down
Em D*
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Em D*
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Em G D*
Is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depend's on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
Em F#m
And if you look, you look through me
G
And when you talk it's not to me
A
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
G Em D*
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
G Em D*
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
G Em D*
Stay, and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout I'll only hear you
G Em D*
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
G Em D*
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
G F#m
Stay with the demons you drowned
G A
Stay with the spirit I found
G Em D*
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground

THE FIRST TIME
Bass line: D-----4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----

I have a lover, a lover like no other
D G
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
D G
And she teach me how to sing
Bm G
Shows me colours when there's none to see
Bm G
Gives me hope when I can't believe that
D G D
For the first time I feel love
I have a brother, when I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me
When I feel myself goin' down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time I feel love
My father is a rich man, he wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)
Gave me a cup of gold
He said "I have many mansions, and there are many rooms to see"
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key...
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love

THE WANDERER
F
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold
Bb
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones
F
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking under an atomic sky
Bb
Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns
F
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Dm Bb
Yeah I went with nothing
F C
Nothing but the thought of you
Dm-Bb-C-F
I went wandering
I went drifting through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it
I went out riding
Down that ol' eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name
I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you
I went out there in search of experience
To taste and to touch and to feel as much
As a man can before he repents
I went out searching, lookin' for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking with a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you...
Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you...
I went wandering
