[Intro]

Em D Em A Em D Em A

[Verse]

Em D Em A
She is benediction

Em D Em A
She is addicted to he

Em D Em A
She is the root connection and

Em D Em A
She is connecting with me


Em D Em A Em
Here I go and I don't know why

D Em A Em
I spin so ceaselessly

D Em A Em D Em A
Could it be he's taking over me


[Chorus]

G A
I'm dancing barefoot

C D
Headed for a spin

Em A
Some strange music drags me in

C D Em D Em A Em D Em A
Makes me come up like some heroin


[Verse]

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He who is chosen by she

Here I go when I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me

[Chorus]

I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for a spin
Some strange strange music drags me in
Makes me come up like some heroin

[Verse]

She is recreation
She intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she

Here I go when I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
'Til I lose my sense of gravity

[Chorus]

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music drives me on
Makes me come up like some heroin

[Guitar solo: Em D...]

[Outro]

Em D Em A Em
O God I feel for you

D Em A Em
O God I feel for you

D Em A Em
O God I feel for you

D Em A
O God I feel for you

Indeed Patti Smith cover but this was like in 1986 or something...you can find it also in the OST of the movie Threesome.

I recall this being a b-side in the Rattle and Hum timeframe (89-90.) I also recall enjoying this as a b-side moreso than most of Rattle and Hum itself. I'm such an idiot, it took me a few years from that to learn about Patti Smith. Now I only listen to the Patti Smith version. One of the best songs of all time... Hey! This makes 4 postings for Dancing Barefoot on the U2 page while I only saw 2 postings for this song on the Patti Smith page... Maybe I'll wander over and spend some time alone on the Leonard Cohen pages...
