Zooropa
Zooropa
Tune down 1/2 step. The beginning piano chords are Gm and Em. You can play
the power chords in the major and minors if you want, but I like to play
major/minor chords when the song speeds up to make it sound more
interesting--I hope my tabs are readable. For the most part it's in E major.

Numb
Here's the chord voicings for Numb. Mute the A string when
playing the G chord by resting you index finger across it
(which is on the big E string) mute the 3 high E, B and G
strings throughout.
Move your index finger up to the D string to play the C chord.
Play each chord and damp it suddenly to get the right sound -
you'll also need distorsion, flanger and phaser for the guitar
effects.

Lemon
Capo on 1st
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)
Tune down half a step.

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
F# A E
Is that what it is?
(Edge plays main riff)
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
(Edge plays arpeggiated chords)

And if you look, you look through me

And when you talk it's not to me

F#m E
Stay, and the day would keep its trust

Stay, and the night would be enough
(Edge plays main riff)
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
(Edge plays arpeggiated chords)
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
F#m E
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
F#m E
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
F#m G#m
Stay with the demons you drowned

Stay with the spirit I found

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

You're a precious stone
You're out on your own
You know everyone in the world
But you feel alone [bass riff #1]
Daddy won't let you weep
Daddy won't let you ache
Daddy gives you as much as you can take
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
A little uptight
You're a baby's fist
Butterfly kisses up and down your wrist
When you see daddy coming
You're licking your lip
Nails bitten down to the quick
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
You've got a head full of traffic
You're a siren's song
You cry for mama
And daddy's right along
He gives you the keys to a flamin' car
Daddy's with you wherever you are
Daddy's a comfort
Daddy's your best friend
Daddy'll hold your hand right up to the end
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday's alright...

Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you're quick, most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days...it all adds up
And what you've got is enough
Some days are better than others
Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white, but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers that won't let you in
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days you work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Looking for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others
Some days...you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
(the outro solo is pretty much the same thing as the solo
in the middle, so work with that and have some fun)
