LEMON
chords by: XAVIER CAMPOS  


capo on 1st


Intro: Dm Bb Gm

 Dm     Bb                       Gm
Lemon, see through in the sunlight
           Dm    Bb                 Gm
She wore lemon, never in the daylight
                        Dm
She's gonna make you cry
              Bb                Gm
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
                Dm   Bb         Gm
But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone
 C                Gm            Bb
I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
 C                Gm            Bb
I feel like I'm holding onto nothing

She wore lemon to colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven and she held on so tight
A man makes a picture, a moving picture
Through light projected he can see himself up close
A man captures colour, a man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her
And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her

 F      C       Bb
Ohhhhhh.........................
 F      C               Bb
Midnight is where the day begins (x3)

Lemon, see through in the sunlight
A man builds a city with banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand so he can
See the world outside			You're gonna meet her there
A man makes a car			She's your destination
And builds roads to run (them) on	You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving			She's imagination
But he always stays behind
And these are the days when our work has come assunder
And these are the days when we look for something other

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

A man makes a picture, a moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close		Gotta meet her there
A man captures colour			She's your destination
A man likes to stare			There's no sleeping there
He turns his money into light		She's imagination
To look for her
She is the dreamer
She's imagination
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close

        Here's a remix of Lemon, The Perfecto Mix, from the 
Melon CD. 

Lemon (The Perfecto Mix)

Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono
Copyright 1993
Transcribed by XAVIER CAMPOS
This is a super remix of "Lemon" found on the Melon CD.  It 
can be also used for the Bad Yard Club Edit and the studio 
version of Lemon, so work around with it and see what 
works.  First, tune your guitar down 1/2 step.  It's in C 
major.

Bass intro:


1-----------------------------------------------------------------
2-----------------------------------------------------------------
3-----------------------------------------------------------------
4-----------------------------------------------------------------
5---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------------
6-------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-3----5-5-5-5-5



The keyboard sequence can be played using power chords 
while muffling the strings every now and then, and sounds 
good with chorus and a little delay:

        B       B               D       C

1----------------------------------------------
2----------------------------------------------
3---4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4------7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5---
4---4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4------7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5---
5---2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2------5-5-5-5---3-3-3-3---
6----------------------------------------------

Then Edge comes in with a guitar loop:

1--------------------------------------
2---8/12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12-8-
3--------------------------------------
4--------------------------------------
5--------------------------------------
6--------------------------------------

Lemon...see through in the sunlight
She wore lemon...never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone

Bridge:

        D           C

1------------------------
2---7---7--7----5--5--5--
3---7---7--7----5--5--5--
4---5---5--5----3--3--3--
5------------------------
6------------------------

Piano riff (with above chords):

1----------------------------------------------------------
2---7------8---10----------7---8---10---8---7---8---7---5--
3----------------------------------------------------------
4----------------------------------------------------------
5----------------------------------------------------------
6----------------------------------------------------------

I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
And I feel like I'm holding onto nothing

She wore lemon to color in the cold grey night
She had heaven, and she held on so tight

A man makes a picture, a moving picture
Through the light projected he can see himself up close
A man captures color, a man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her

And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the 
shore...and I feel like I'm swimming out to her

Chorus:

        G               A

1---------------------------
2---8---8--8-----10--10--10-
3---7---7--7-----9---9---10-
4---5---5--5-----7---7---7--
5---------------------------
6---------------------------

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

(the rest of the song is pretty much the same, so try to 
match the song to the Melon version)
