U2 - One Tree Hill
C5 F5
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
Bb5 F5 C5 C7 C5
As the day begs the night for mercy love
C5 F5
The sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Bb5 F5 C5 C7 C5
carved into stone on the face of earth
C5 F5
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
Bb5 F5 C5
We see the sun go down in your eyes
Chorus with Riff 2:
Bb F C5
You run like river in like a sea
Bb F C5
you run like a river runs to the sea
Second verse same as first verse:
And in the world a heart of darkness, a firezone
Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground
Chorus as before.
Cello Solo.
Now play synth chords (C C F F Bb5 F&C C C)
Third verse with synth chords:
C F
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
Bb5 F&C C
while bullets rape the night of the merciful
F
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
Bb5 F&C C
and the moon has turned red over one tree hill
Continue to play Riff 2 to end.
Distorted guitar kicks in towards end.
Outro: (With synth chords)
C F&C Bb5 F&C
Oh great ocean, old great sea
C F Bb5 F&C C
run to the ocean, run to the sea.
