Dancing Barefoot
----------------
By Patti Smith and Ivan Kral
Recorded by U2 on the "When Love Comes to Town" single
Transcribed by John S. Jacob
Tune down one-half step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
[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... | |
