And there it is! This is a great song from U2 and pretty fun to play. It might not be a very good tab as this is my first shot at writing tabs.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or even insults, send them to stephgurl2000@hotmail.com.
To make it a bit easier for people playing the acoustic sections, I've written them along with the lyrics. Have fun!
<Intro>
Dm And love Am is not the easy thing Am Em
The only baggage that you canEm bring
DmAnd love is not the easy thing Am
The only baggage you can bring Em
EmIs all that you can't leave behind
<Verse 1 lead in>
D A G E
<Verse 1>
D And if the darknEess is to keep, us a-pGart...
D And if the dayligEht feels like it's, a longG way, off...
D And if your glass Aheart should crack G
And for a second you tEurn back
D Oh no E Be strong A oh...oh....
<Chorus>
Walk on D Walk on A
What you got they cGan't steal it
No they cEan't even feel it
Walk onD Walk on A
G Stay safe tonight E
<Verse 2>
D You're packing a suitcase foEr a place, none of us Ghas been...
D A place that has to be Ebelieved, to be, seenG
D You could have flown away A
A singiGng bird, in an open cagEe
Who will, onlyD fly, only flyE, for freedom A Oh...oh....
<Chorus>
Walk on D Walk on A
What you've got they Gcan't deny it
Can't sell iEt, or buy it
Walk on D Walk on.... A
G You stay safe tonight E
<Bridge>
And I know itD aches, and your, heart it breaAks
And you can only take sEo much
<Solo>
D Walk.... On..A.... G E
D Walk.... A On..... G A
<Interlude'>
DHome.....E..Hard to know whaGt that is, if you've never had one
DHome.....E..I can't say wheGre it is, but I know I'm going
DHome...E.....That's where the hurt is G
<Bridge>
And I know itD aches, and your, heart it breaAks
And you can only take sEo much
<Outro>
Walk on D A HoEoooo........ A
Leave it behind D YouA've got to leave it behind G E
All that you fashioDn, all that you make A
All that you build,G all that you break E
All that you measurDe, all that you feel A
All this you can, lGeave behind A
All that you reasoDn, needs only time A
All that I'm feeliGn on my mind E
All that you sense, D All that you scheme A
All you dress up and Gall that you seem E
