Bullet The Blue Sky

U2

 DmC
 DmCDmC
 In the howling wind    comes a stinging rain 
 DmCDmC
 See it driving nails   into the souls on a tree of pain
 DmCDm
 From the firefly    a red-orange glow
 DmC
 I see the face of fear
 Dm
Running scared in the valley below

 DmC
 Oooooooooo
 DmC
 Oooooooooo
 DmC
 Bullet the blue sky
 DmC
 Bullet the blue sky

 DmCDmC
 In locust wind       comes a rattle and hum
 DmC
 Jacob wrestled the angel
 DmC
And the angel was overcome
 DmC
 She had a demon seed
 DmC
 She rase flower of fire
 DmC
 I see her burning crosses
 DmC
 I see the flames higher and higher

 DmC
 Oooooooooo
 DmC
 Oooooooooo
 DmC
 Bullet the blue sky
 DmC
 Bullet the blue sky

 DmC
 And I see her come up to me
 Dm
Her dress red
 C
Like a rose on a thorn bush
 DmC
 Like all the colors of a royal flush
 DmC
 And she's pealing off those dollar bills
 DmC
 slapping them down
 DmC
 One hundred
 DmC
 Two hundred
 DmC
 And I can see those fighter planes
 DmC
 And I can see those fighter planes
 DmC
 Across the mud huts where the children sleep
 DmC
 Through the alleys and quiet city streets
 DmC
 Up a staircase to the first floor
 DmC
 I turn the key and slowly unlock the door
 DmC
man breathes into a saxophone
 DmC
 Through the walls we hear the city groan
 DmC
 Outside it's America
 DmC
 Outside it's America
 DmC
 "So I'm back in my hotel room,
 DmC
 With Johnnie Coltrane and the love supreme,
 DmC
 In the next room I hear some woman scream out,
 DmC
 That her lover's turning off,
 DmC
 Turning on the television,
 DmC
 I can't tell the difference between 
 DmC
 ABC news, Hill Street Blues
 DmC
 And some preacher in the old time gospel hour
 DmC
 Stealing money from the sick and the old
 DmC
 Well the God I believe in ain't short of cash Mister 
 DmC
 See across the view
 DmC
 See the sky ripped open
 DmC
See the rain pounding the women and children
 Dm
 Who run
 CDm
Into the arms of America......

It's Jacob who wrestled the angel, not Judith. It's in the Bible.
