 U2, "Staring at the sun", from album "Pop"

--------------------------------------------



[Intro]:  Am  G  F  E     Am  G  F  E





[Verse 1]:

Am                G            F              E

Summer stretching on the grass summer dresses pass

Am                G           F                   E

In the shade of a willow tree creeps are crawling over me

Am          G        F              E

Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue

Am                G

It's going to get stickier too

F                                       G

It's been a long hot summer... let's go undercover

      F                                      G

Don't try to hard to think... don't think at all





[Chorus 1]:

                 C                  Am

I'm not the only one staring at the sun

                     D                         F

Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside

                  C                       Am

Not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun

             D                     F

Not the only one who's happy to go blind



Am  D   Am  D





[Verse 2]:



There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear

It's gonna itch and burn and sting

Do you want to see what the scratching brings

Waves that leave me out of reach

Breaking on your back like a beach

Will you ever live in peace ?

Cause those that can't do... often have to

And those that can't do... often have to preach





[Chorus 2]:



To the ones staring at the sun

Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside

Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun

I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind



Am  D   Am  D





[Verse 3]:



Intransigence is all around military still in town

Armour plated suits and ties daddy just won't say goodbye

Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will He listen

I'm nearly great but there's something I'm missing 

I left in the... duty free

You never really... belonged to me





[Chorus 2]:



You're not the only one staring at the sun

Afraid of you'd find if you stepped back inside

I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun

Not the only one who's happy to go blind





[Outro]:  Am  D   Am  D    Am  D   Am  D

Staring at the Sun

Lyrics and Music: U2

Tabbed by Shamu Naidu

E-mail: x95cjk@stfx.ca



It's a really easy song, reminds of Oasis...

Here are the chords.  Listening to the song will make it obvious how

they're being played.



Intro:



Am(1)             G(1)               F               Em

-5-                -3-              -1-               -0-

-7-                -5-              -3-               -2-

Intro:

Am G F Em   ( 52 )





  Am 		        G  		F	         Em

SUMMER stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass

  Am 		   G		F	         Em

in the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me

Am 	         G		F	         Em

over me and over you stuck together with God's glue

Am 		  G

it's going to get stickier too...

	F

it's been a long hot summer

	G

let's get undercover

	F				G

don't try too hard to think... don't think at all







		C		    Am

I'm not the only one starin' at the sun

		        D			      F

afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside

		    C			   Am

not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun

	          D		       F

not the only one who's happy to go blind





there's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear

it's gonna itch and burn and sting

do you want to see what the scratching brings

waves that leave me out of reach

breaking on your back like a beach...

will we ever live in peace?

'cause those that can't do often have to

those that can't do often have to... preach



to the ones starin' at the sun...

afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside

not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun

I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind



Am D Dsus4 D



intransigence is all around... military still in town

armour plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye

referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen

I'm nearly great

but there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free

though you never really belonged to me



you're not the only one starin' at the sun

afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside

I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun

not the only one who's happy to go blind

Music by U2, lyrics by Bono and The Edge

This song is the second release from the Pop album, and is by 

far the best--this is my first time to tab a song, so if there

are any errors, by all means let me know.  Now let's play some 

guitar:



Intro:

Am    G(1)    F(1)   G(2)  repeat 2x  



G(1) is:          F(1) is:         G(2) is:        

E---3---          E---1---         E---3---

B---3---          B---1---         B---0---

G---4---          G---2---         G---4---

D---5---          D---3---         D---5---

A---0---          A---0---         A---0---

E---X---          E---X---         E---X---



Verse 1:

Am               G              F              Em

summer stretches on the grass...summer dresses pass

Am                G           F                 Em

in the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me

Am          G        F              Em

over me and over you stuck together with God's glue

Am                      G

it's going to get stickier too

     F     

it's been a long hot summer

          G

let's get undercover

      F                                      G  

don't try too hard to think...don't think at all





Chorus:

                 C                  Am

I'm not the only one starin' at the sun

                     D                         F

afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside

                  C                       Am

not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun

             D                     F

not the only one who's happy to go blind



Am   G    F    Em

  



Verse 2 (same as verse 1)

there's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear

it's gonna itch and burn a sting

do you want to see what the scratching brings

waves that leave me out of reach 

breaking on your back like a beach

will we ever live in peace?

'cause those that can't do often have to

those that can't do often have to preach



Repeat Chorus as above





Am   D (Pattern 1)   Am   G           Pattern 1:

                                                   E--2--2-h3p--

Am   G(1)  D  (Pattern 1 twice)	                   B--3---------						          

  						   G--2---------						           

 						   D--0---------

						   A--X---------

						   E--X---------

G------2-------0-------2------------------    

D---------0-h2------------0-h2p-----------

A---0---------------0-------------3p0-----

E-----------------------------------------



intransigence is all around...military still in town

armour plated suits and ties...daddy just won't say goodbye

referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will he listen

I'm nearly great

but there's something I'm missing



F                G  

I left it in the duty free

           F                        G

though you never really belonged to me





Repeat chorus

you're not the only one starin' at the sun

afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside

I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun

not the only one who's happy to be blind



Am   D   (repeat to end)

It's going to itch and burn and sting

You want to see what the scratching brings



Waves that leave me out of reach

Breaking on your back like a beach

Will we ever live in peace

'Cause those that can't do

Often have to

And those that can't do

Often have to preach



To the ones

Staring at the sun

Afraid of what you'll find

Not just deaf and dumb

Staring at the sun

I'm not the only one

Who'd rather go blind



Intransigence is all around

Military still in town

Armour plated suits and ties

Daddy just won't say goodbye



Referee won't blow the whistle

God is good but will He listen

I'm nearly great

But there's something missing

I left it in the duty free

But you never really belonged to me



You're not the only one

Staring at the sun

Afraid of what you'd find

If you stepped back inside



I'm not sucking on my thumb

I'm staring at the sun

Not the only one

                -----------------

This is yet another great song performed by U2.  It is real easy to

play but it sounds great.  To achieve almost the same sound of

distortion as

U2 uses, then you should definately us a Gibson Les Paul .

Intro :







Am-G-F-Em x2











Verse 1 :







Am                G               F              Em



SUMMER stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass



Am                G           F                 Em



in the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me



Am          G        F                 Em



over me and over you stuck together with God's glue



Am                    G



it's going to get stickier too...



            F               



It's been a long hot summer



          G 



let's get undercover



      F                                       G



don't try too hard to think... don't think at all











Chorus :







                   C                  Am



I'm not the only one starin' at the sun



                       D                        F



afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside



                    C                       Am



not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun



               D                   F



not the only one who's happy to go blind











Am-G-F-Em











Verse 2 :







Am                 G          F                  Em



there's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear



Am                    G           



it's gonna itch and burn and sting



       F                    Em



do you want to see what the scratching brings



Am                  G



waves that leave me out of reach



F                  Em



breaking on your back like a beach...



Am          G 



will we ever live in peace?



     F                     G



'cause those that can't do often have to



F                   G



those that can't do often have to.. preach











Chorus :







         C                   Am



to the ones starin' at the sun...



                        D                       F



afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside



                    C                      Am



not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun



                   D                     F



I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind











Am-D-Am-G



Am-D-Am











Verse 3 :







intransigence is all around... military still in town



       



armour plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye



     



referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen







I'm nearly great



                                  F             G



but there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free



F                                   G



though you never really belonged to me











Chorus :







                      C                  Am



you're not the only one starin' at the sun



                       D                        F



afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside



                     C                        Am



I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun



               D                     F



not the only one who's happy to go blind
