Summer stretching on the grass summer dresses pass
Zomer strekken op het gras zomerjurkjes gaan voorbij
In the shade of a willow tree creeps are crawling over me
In de schaduw van een wilg kruipen griezels over mij heen
Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue
Over mij en over jou, aan elkaar geplakt met Gods lijm
It's going to get stickier too
Het zal ook plakkeriger worden
It's been a long hot summer... let's go undercover
Het is een lange hete zomer geweest... laten we undercover gaan
Don't try to hard to think... don't think at all
Probeer niet te hard na te denken... denk helemaal niet

I'm not the only one staring at the sun
Ik ben niet de enige die naar de zon staart
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
Bang voor wat je zou aantreffen als je naar binnen zou kijken
Not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun
Niet alleen doofstom, ik staar naar de zon
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
Niet de enige die graag blind wordt
:
:
There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear
Er zit een insect in je oor. Als je eraan krabt, verdwijnt het niet
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
Het gaat jeuken, branden en steken
Do you want to see what the scratching brings
Wil je zien wat het krabben brengt
Waves that leave me out of reach
Golven die mij buiten bereik laten
Breaking on your back like a beach
Breken op je rug als een strand
Will you ever live in peace ?
Zul jij ooit in vrede leven?
Cause those that can't do... often have to
Want degenen die dat niet kunnen, moeten dat vaak wel
And those that can't do... often have to preach
En degenen die dat niet kunnen... moeten vaak prediken

:
:
To the ones staring at the sun
Voor degenen die naar de zon staren
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
Bang voor wat je aantreft als je een kijkje naar binnen zou nemen
Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
Niet alleen maar doofstom naar de zon staren
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind
Ik ben niet de enige die liever blind wordt
:
:
Intransigence is all around military still in town
Er is overal onverzettelijkheid, het leger is nog steeds in de stad
Armour plated suits and ties daddy just won't say goodbye
Gepantserde pakken en stropdassen, papa wil gewoon geen afscheid nemen
Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will He listen
Scheidsrechter blaast niet op het fluitje. God is goed, maar wil wel luisteren
I'm nearly great but there's something I'm missing
Ik ben bijna geweldig, maar er is iets dat ik mis
I left in the... duty free
Ik ben vertrokken in de... belastingvrije zone
You never really... belonged to me
Je bent nooit echt... van mij geweest
horus 2
Horus 2
:
:
You're not the only one staring at the sun
Je bent niet de enige die naar de zon staart
Afraid of you'd find if you stepped back inside
Bang dat je het zou vinden als je weer naar binnen stapte
I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun
Ik zuig niet op mijn duim, ik staar naar de zon
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
Niet de enige die graag blind wordt

It's a really easy song, reminds of Oasis...
Here are the chords. Listening to the song will make it obvious how
they're being played.
Intro:
Verses:
s2
Go back and forth between F and G(1)
Bridge:
Am or anything in the key of Am can be played over the Bridge then go into
the pre-chorus.
The outro might be wrong.

let's get undercover
don't try too hard to think...don't think at all
Chorus:
I'm not the only one starin' at the sun
afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun
not the only one who's happy to go blind
Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
there's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear
it's gonna itch and burn a sting
do you want to see what the scratching brings
waves that leave me out of reach
breaking on your back like a beach
will we ever live in peace?
'cause those that can't do often have to
those that can't do often have to preach
Repeat Chorus as above

Staring at the Sun by U2
from the Album POP
This is yet another great song performed by U2. It is real easy to
play but it sounds great. To achieve almost the same sound of
distortion as
U2 uses, then you should definately us a Gibson Les Paul :).

Intro :
Verse 1 :
SUMMER stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass
in the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me
over me and over you stuck together with God's glue
it's going to get stickier too...
It's been a long hot summer
let's get undercover
don't try too hard to think... don't think at all
Chorus :
I'm not the only one starin' at the sun
afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun
not the only one who's happy to go blind
Verse 2 :
there's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear
it's gonna itch and burn and sting
do you want to see what the scratching brings
waves that leave me out of reach
breaking on your back like a beach...
will we ever live in peace?
'cause those that can't do often have to
those that can't do often have to.. preach
Chorus :
to the ones starin' at the sun...
afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind
Verse 3 :
intransigence is all around... military still in town
armour plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye
referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen
I'm nearly great
but there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free
though you never really belonged to me
Chorus :
you're not the only one starin' at the sun
afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun
not the only one who's happy to go blind
