Tabs: POP
GONE
This song is tuned 1/2 step down and also changes keys a few times.
Another one of my personal theories is that Bono is singing this
song to
himself, and he's trying to deal with his success. Just a thought.
this is actually what the riff sounds like:
E
1----------------------<5>--
2---<5>---------------------
3-------------<3>-----------
4---------------------------
5---------------------------
6---------------------------
But since I know that riff is really tough to pull off, I've arranged
an
easier version to play (which is probably what Edge uses with an
octaver and/or an effect that automatically produces harmonics):
E
1----------10-----12--

You get to feel so guilty, got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won't go away
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till there's nothing left for you anyway

MIAMI
This song is TUNED DOWN 1/2 STEP, but I LEAVE the 2ND STRING at
a B
natural to get the harmonics right. Once again, I think Edge has
a
special machine to do this, but I can't think of a better way of
getting
the right sound. It looks harder than it is--just make sure you've
got
it on the bridge pickup and lots of distortion, and it sounds real
cool.
I think it's in A minor. With Larry's drum beat, I could just imagine
them using "Miami" to segue into "Bullet The Blue
Sky"...and I take it
Ali wasn't with Bono on this Miami trip.
Weather 'round here choppin' and changin'
Surgery in the air
Print shirts and southern accents, cigars and big hair
We got the whells and petrol is cheap
Only went there for a week
Got the sun, got the sand
Got the batteries in the handicam

Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot
Freshmen squeaky clean, she tastes like chlorine
Miami, my mammy
Love the movies, love to walk those movie sets
Get to shoot someone in the foot
Get to smoke some cigarettes
No big deal, we know the score
Just back from the video store
What's he got inside the case?
I want a close up of that face
Here comes the car chase

You said, "Maybe said I wanna have your baby."
We could make something beautiful

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
Feeling sea sick again
And the whole world could just dissolve into a glass of water
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be as blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through
We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a 2 year old who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon's drawn its cutains
It's a private show, no one has to know

And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl
So you never knew that that the heaven you keep you stole
Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making news
Your holy war, your northern star
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car
Please, please, please get up off your knees
Please, please, please leave me out of this please
