Hawkmoon 269 Lyrics

U2
HAWKMOON 269 (from the album "Rattle and Hum")
(Recommend trying to play just the "lower" 4 strings to simulate the U2 sound)
INTRO: Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb EB
Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love I need your love
Like a rhythm unbroken /\
Like drums in the night NOTE: Right around here Edge
Eb Starts playing the Eb's like:
Like sweet soul music E--3--4--3--1-------------------
Like sunlight D-------------------------------
I need your love
Like coming home
And you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love I need your love
I need your love I need your love
Ooooooooo ooo I need your love (I need your love)
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love I need your love
(Verses and chorus continue as above)
Like a Phoenix rising
Needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge TAB for what Edge plays:
Of a bitter enemy (Lots of whammy bar / = slide down)
I need your love (I need your love) E--4-4-4--4/3-3---/1---------------
Like the heat needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love I need your love Hey!
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
(I need your love) (I need your love)
Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sweet stain I need your love I need your love
Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love I need your love I need your love
I need your love I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love) Ow!
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
(Repeat the following at least 9 times:)
In the heart of the beat of love In the heart of the beat of love
