STANDARD TUNING
-------------------------------------------------
The Edge obviously uses his beautiful Rickenbacker 360/12 on this one, but this is
for all of you (including me) that are limited to a regular six-string guitar.

Verse riff #1(no delay): play 12 of each note and then slide down to the next one

The bullets quit the gun
The heat thats in the sun
Will keep us when there's none
Verse riff #2(with delay):
e|--10-------

G D C
Oh can't you see what our love has done
D
What its doing to me
Verse 2:
(Repeat the Verse parts again)
Love makes strange enemies
Makes love of what may well please
Soul in a strip tease
Hate brought to its knees
Sky over our head
Can reach it from our bed
If you let me in your heart
And out of my head
Chorus 2:
(Repeat the Chorus parts again)
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done

Play Chorus parts for a while:
(Quietly)
Oh can't you see what love has done
Oh can't you see what love has done
Oh can't you see what love has done
What its doing to me
(Louder)
Oh I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder but you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
Oh can't you see what love has done
(to every broken heart)
Oh can't you see what love has done
(for every heart that cries)
love left a window in the skies
and to love I rhapsodize
Oh can't you see
(keep playing the intro part until end)
