down, so you should use a capo on the first barre to get
the original tone, unless otherwise specified.

ZOOROPA
Riff1
Zooropa... Vorsprung durch Technik
Zooropa... be all that you can be
Be a winner, eat to get slimmer
Zooropa... a bluer kind of white
Zooropa... it could be yours tonight
We're mild and green, and squeaky clean
(play intro chords again)
Zooropa... better by design
Zooropa... fly the friendly skies
Through appliance of science
We've got that ring of confidence....
Break: Play riff1. Silence. Play Riff 2 LOUD!
And I have no compass I call (riff2)
And I have no map
And I have no reasons
No reasons to get back
And I have no religion
And I don't know what's what
And I don't know the limit
The limit of what we got
(riff2)
Zooropa... don't worry baby. It'll be alright
(riff2)
Zooropa... you got the right shoes
Zooropa... to get you through the night
(riff2)
Zooropa... it's cold outside, but brightly lit
(riff2)
Zooropa... skip the subway
Zooropa... let's go to the overground
(riff2)
Get your head out of the mud baby
(riff2)
Put flowers in the mud baby
Overground
No particular place names
No particular song
I've been hiding
What am I hiding from?
Zooropa... don't worry baby. It's gonna be alright
Zooropa... uncertainty... can be a guiding light
Zooropa... I hear voices, ridiculous voices
Zooropa... in the slipstream
Zooropa... let's go, let's go... overground
Zooropa... take your head out of the mud baby
(She's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in
(riff2)
She's gonna dream out loud)

BABYFACE
Catching your bright blue eyes
In the freeze frame
I've seen them so many times
I feel like I must be your best friend
You're looking fine, so fine, oh my,
Dressed up like a lovely day
Babyface, Babyface, slow down child, let me untie your lace
Babyface, Babyface, cover girl with natural grace
How could beauty be so kind to an ordinary guy?
Coming home late at night to turn you on
Checking out every frame I got slow motion on my side
Turning around and around with the sound and colour
Under my control
Round and around, going down, dressed up like a lovely day
Babyface, Babyface tin foil hair all tied up in lace
Babyface, Babyface bitter sweet girl won't you give me a taste
How could beauty be so kind to an ordinary guy?
do do... etc.
Babyface, Babyface, slow down child, let me untie your lace
Babyface, Babyface, open that door let me unpack my case
Babyface, Babyface you're everywhere child
You're all over the place
Babyface, Babyface, you're coming to me from outerspace
Hou could beauty be so kind to an ordinary guy?
**************************************************************
NUMB
Note: this song is actually in its original tone.
(no need to use capo on 1st)
Don't move, don't talk out of time, don't think,
Don't worry everything's just fine, just fine
Don't grab, don't clutch, don't hope for too much
Don't breathe, don't achieve, don't grieve without leave
Don't check just balance on the fence
Don't answer, don't ask, don't try and make sense
Don't whisper, don't talk, don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete, don't miss the one beat
Don't travel by train, don't eat, don't spill
Don't piss in the drain, don't make a will
Don't fill out any forms, don't compensate
Don't cower, don't crawl, don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate
Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
(FAT LADY - Backing Vocal)
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored I feel numb
I feel numb
Too much is not enough
Don't change your brand Gimme some more
Don't listen to the band Gimme some more
Don't gape Of that stuff love
Don't ape Too much is not enough
Don't change your shape, have another grape
Don't plead Too much is not enough
Don't bridle I feel numb
Don't shackle I feel numb
Don't grind Gimme what you got
Don't curve Gimme what I don't get
Don't swerve Gimme what you got
Don't lie, die, serve Too much is not enough
I feel numb
Don't theorize, realise, polarise,
Chance, dance, dismiss, apologise
I feel numb
Don't spy Gimme some more
Don't lie Gimme some more
Don't try Of that stuff love
Imply Gimme some more
Detain Too much is not enough
Explain
Start again I feel numb
Don't triumph, don't coax, don't cling, don't hoax
Don't freak, peak, don't leak, don't speak
I feel numb
Don't project I feel numb
Don't connect, protect, don't expect
Suggest
I feel numb
Don't project, don't connect

I feel numb
Don't struggle I feel numb
Don't jerk, don't collar, don't work
Don't wish, don't fish, don't teach, don't reach
I feel numb
Don't borrow, don't break, don't fence
Don't steal, don't pass, don't press

LEMON
Lemon, see through in the sunlight
She wore lemon, never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone
I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
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
Ohhhhhh.........................
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 chord
with a nice picking pattern which I try to get close to by
playing + and plain , as follows:
*
Green light, Seven Eleven
*
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
*
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
*
The wheels are turning but you're upside down
*
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
*
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
*
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
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk it's not to me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
*
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
*
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
*
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
*
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
*
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
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

THE FIRST TIME
(chord ) (chord )
First play the bass line vary softly, then gradually you can
start playing the chords right away.
I have a lover, a lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing
Shows me colours when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe that
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
**************************************************************
DIRTY DAY
Here's the main riff first. I think the guitar is tuned down
1/2 step. The little fills in parenthesis are played only when
indicated.
Main riff fades in. Synth plays a long sustained
A note on top.
I don't know you ...and you don't know the half of it
I had a starring role ...I was the bad guy who walked out
They say be careful where you aim
Because where you aim you just might hit
You can hold onto something so tight
You've already lost it
Dragging me down That's not the way it
(w/fill 1)
used to be
You can't even remember
(w/fills 1&2)
What I'm trying to forget
(main riff twice w/distorted guitar chords+effects and fills 1&2)
It was a dirty day
A dirty day
(the riff once)
You want explanations... I don't even understand
If you need someone to blame... throw a rock in the air
and you'll hit someone guilty
From father to son
Gadd2 (?)
In one life has begun
A work that's never done
Father to son (it won't last kissin' time)
(2x w/riff)
(Love... it won't last kissin' time)
Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say, nothing's simple as you think
Wake up, some things you can't get around
I'm in you, more so when they put me in the ground
(main riff w/distorted guitar+effects & fills 1&2)
(repeat to the end)
(It was a dirty day
A dirty day
Hank says)
THESE DAYS DAYS DAYS RUN AWAY LIKE HORSES OVER THE HILLS
(repeat until fade)
**************************************************************
THE WANDERER
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
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
