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!
[Dm] And love [Am] is not the easy thing[Am] [Em]
The only baggage that you can[Em] bring
[Dm]And love is not the easy thing[Am]
The only baggage you can bring[Em]
[Em]Is all that you can't leave behind
[D] [A] [G] [E]
[D] And if the darkn[E]ess is to keep, us a-p[G]art...
[D] And if the daylig[E]ht feels like it's, a long[G] way, off...
[D] And if your glass [A]heart should crack[G]
And for a second you t[E]urn back
[D] Oh no [E] Be strong [A] oh...oh....
Walk on [D] Walk on[A]
What you got they c[G]an't steal it
No they c[E]an't even feel it
Walk on[D] Walk on[A]
[G] Stay safe tonight[E]
[D] You're packing a suitcase fo[E]r a place, none of us [G]has been...
[D] A place that has to be [E]believed, to be, seen[G]
[D] You could have flown away[A]
A singi[G]ng bird, in an open cag[E]e
Who will, only[D] fly, only fly[E], for freedom [A] Oh...oh....
Walk on [D] Walk on[A]
What you've got they [G]can't deny it
Can't sell i[E]t, or buy it
Walk on [D] Walk on....[A]
[G] You stay safe tonight[E]
And I know it[D] aches, and your, heart it brea[A]ks
And you can only take s[E]o much
[D] Walk.... On..[A]....[G] [E]
[D] Walk.... [A] On.....[G] [A]
[D]Home.....[E]..Hard to know wha[G]t that is, if you've never had one
[D]Home.....[E]..I can't say whe[G]re it is, but I know I'm going
[D]Home...[E].....That's where the hurt is[G]
And I know it[D] aches, and your, heart it brea[A]ks
And you can only take s[E]o much
Walk on [D] [A] Ho[E]oooo........[A]
Leave it behind [D] You[A]'ve got to leave it behind[G] [E]
All that you fashio[D]n, all that you make[A]
All that you build,[G] all that you break[E]
All that you measur[D]e, all that you feel[A]
All this you can, l[G]eave behind[A]
All that you reaso[D]n, needs only time[A]
All that I'm feeli[G]n on my mind[E]
All that you sense, [D] All that you scheme[A]
All you dress up and [G]all that you seem [E]
