Staring at the Sun U2
"Staring At The Sun" (Acoustic)
I had to update this tab, everyone was nice enough to give me a good rating.
I wanted to complete it as much as I could. Enjoy! Remember, this is from the "Live
Acoustic" version from Popmart Tour.
Tune 1/2 Step!!!

[Am] Summer stretching [G]on the grass,[F] Summer dresses [Em]pass
[Am] In the shade of a [G]willow tree, [F]Creeps a crawling [Em]over me
[Am] Over me and [G]over you, [F]Stuck together with [Em]God`s glue
[Am] It`s going to get stic[G]kier too, It`s been a [F]long hot summer
Let`s get [G]undercover, Don`t [F]try too hard to think, Don`t think at [G]all
I`m not the only[C] one
Starin` at the [Am]sun
Afraid of what you`d [Dsus]find
You step back in[F]side
You're not just deaf and [C]dumb
Staring at the [Am]sun
You're not the only [Dsus]one
Who`s happy to go [F]blind
Am, Dsus x2
[Am]There`s an insect [G]in your ear, I[F]f you scratch it [Em]won`t disappear
[Am]Gonna itch and [G]burn and sting, [F]You want to see what the [Em]scratching brings
[Am]Waves that leave me [G]out of reach, [F]Breaking on your [Em]back like a beach
[Am]Will we ever [G]live in peace?
Cause [F]those that can`t do[G]...often have to
[F]Those that can`t do[G]...often have to preach
To the [C]ones
Starin` at the [Am]sun
Afraid of what you`d [Dsus]find
You step back in[F]side
You're not just deaf and [C]dumb
Staring at the [Am]sun
You're not the only [Dsus]one
Who`s happy to go [F]blind
Am, Dsus x2
[Am]Intransigence is [G]all around, [F]Military [Em]still in town
[Am]Armour plated [G]suits and ties,[F] Daddy just won`t [Em]say goodbye
[Am]Referee won`t [G]blow the whistle, [F]God is good but [Em]will he listen
[Am]I`m nearly great but there`s [G]something I`m missing
I [F]left in the [G] duty free
She [F]never really belonged [G]to me
I`m not the only [C]one
Starin` at the [Am]sun
Afraid of what you`d [Dsus]find
You step back in[F]side
I'm not sucking on my [C]thumb
I'm staring at the [Am]sun
I'm not the only [Dsus]one
Who`s happy to go [F]blind
Happy to go [C]blind
Happy to go [Am]blind
Happy to go [Dsus]blind
Happy to go, [F]happy to go
Happy to go [C]blind
Happy to go [Am]blind
Happy to go [Dsus]blind
Happy to go, [F]happy to go, happy to g[(C)]o...blind
after the song, he comes in and does...
Am Dsus Am Dsus (x3)
Ohh OhhOhh Ohhh Uh uh Ohhhhhhhhh...
End.
