Standard (EADGBE)

I want to hide

I want to tear down the walls

That hold me inside

I want to reach out

And touch the flame

Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face

See that dust cloud disappear without a trace

I want to take shelter from the poison rain

Where the streets have no name

Chorus

(Tab for chords to be played, repeat below for each line of chorus)

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

We're still building then burning down love

Burning down love

And when I go there

I go there with you...

It's all I can do

The city's a flood

And our love turns to rust

We're beaten and blown by the wind

Trampled in dust

I'll show you a place

High on the desert plain

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name

Still building then burning down love

Burning down love

And when I go there

I go there with you

It's all I can do

Our love turns to rust

And we're beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind

Oh and I see love

See our love turn to rust

And we're beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind

Oh when I go there

I go there with you

It's all I can do

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

This song is played in the key of C# (C#, F#, G#), but works equally well

in (, , ) or (, , ), so long as you don't play along to the recording.

I have climbed highest mountain

I have run through the fields

Only to be with you

Only to be with you

I have run

I have crawled

I have scaled these city walls

These city walls

Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips

Felt the healing in her fingertips

It burned like fire

This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels

I have held the hand of a devil

It was warm in the night

I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come

Then all the colors will bleed into one

Bleed into one

Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you

Loosed the chains

Carried the cross

Of my shame

Of my shame

You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for X4

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU

See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side

I'll Wait for You

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

With or Without you 2x

Through the storm we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

With or Without you 2x

I can't live

With or Without you

And you give yourself away 2x

And you give 2x

And you give yourself away

My hands are tied

My body bruised she got me with

Nothing to win and

Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away 2x

And you give 2x

And you give yourself away

With or Without You 2x

I Can't Live...With or Without You

Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhh

With or Without you 2x

I can't live

With or without you 2x

Hoooooooo Hooooooo

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain

See it driving nails into the souls on a tree of pain

From the firefly a red-orange glow

I see the face of fear

Running scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

In locust wind comes a rattle and hum

Judith wrestled the angel

And the angel was overcome

She had a demon seed

She rase flower of fire

I see her burning crosses

I see the flames higher and higher

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

And I see her come up to me

Her dress red

Like a rose on a thorn bush

Like all the colors of a royal flush

And she's pealing off those dollar bills

And slapping them down

One hundred

Two hundred

And I can see those fighter planes

And I can see those fighter planes

Across the mud huts where the children sleep

Through the alleys and quiet city streets

Up a staircase to the first floor

I turn the key and slowly unlock the door

A man breathes into a saxophone

Through the walls we hear the city groan

Outside it's America

Outside it's America

"So I'm back in my hotel room,

With Johnnie Coltrane and the love supreme,

In the next room I hear some woman scream out,

That her lover's turning off,

Turning on the television,

I can't tell the difference between :-

ABC news, Hill Street Blues

And some preacher in the old time gospel hour

Stealing money from the sick and the old

Well the God I believe in ain't short of cash Mister !!"

See across the view

See the sky ripped open

See the rain pounding the women and children

Who run

Into the arms of America......

RUNNING TO A STAND STILL

And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said I

got to do something about where we're going.

Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe

run from the darkness in the night, singing

ah, ah la la la de day

ah la la la de day, ah la la de day

Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.

I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.

You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,

scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,

from the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singing

ah, ah la la la de day

ah la la la de day, ah la la de day

oooh, oooh, oooh

She runs through the street with her eyes painted red

under black belly of cloud in the rain

in through the doorway she brings me

white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging

she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will

suffer the needle chill

she's running to stand still

RED HILL MINING TOWN

From Father to Son the blood runs thin

Our faces frozen (still) against the wind

The seam is split, the coal face cracked

The lines are long and there's no going back

Through hands of steel and a heart of stone

Our labour day has come and gone

And you leave us holding on

In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm holding on

You're all that's left to hold on to

The glass is cut, the bottle runs dry

Our love runs cold in the caverns of the night

We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt

I can lose myself, you I can't live without

Because you keep me holding on

In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down

I'm hanging on ...

And we scorch the earth, set fire to the sky

Stoop so low to reach so hihgh

A link is lost, the chain undone

Now we wait all day for the night to come

And it comes

And it comes

Like a hunter (child)

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

We see love slowly stripped away

Our love, has seen a better day

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm holding on

You're all that's left to hold on to

See the lights go down on Red Hill Town

See lights go down on Red Hill Town

IN GOD'S COUNTRY

Desert Sky

Dream beneath a desert sky

The rivers run But soon run dry

We need new dreams tonight

Desert rose

Dreamed I saw a desert rose

Dress torn in ribbons and in bows

Like a siren she calls to me

Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country

Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

Set me alight

We'll punch a hole right through the night

Everyday the dreamers die

To see what's on the other side

She is Liberty

And she comes to rescue me

Hope faith, her vanity

The greatest gift is gold

Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country

Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

Naked flame

She stands with a naked flame

I stand with the sons of Cain

Burned by the fire of love

Burned by the fire of love

love

TRIP THROUGH YOUR WIRES

CHORDS UNDERNEATH

In the distance

She saw me coming round

I was calling out

I was calling out

Still shaking

Still in pain

You put me back together again

I was cold and you clothed me honey

I was down and you lifted me honey

Angel

Angel or devil

I was thirsty

And you wet my lips

You, I'm waiting for you

You, you set my desire

I trip through your wires

I was broken, bent out of shape

I was naked in the clothes you made

My lips were dry, throat like rust

You gave me shelter

>From the heat and the dust

There's no more water in the well

No more water in the well

Angel

Angel or devil

I was thirsty

And you wet my lips

You, I'm waiting for you

You, you set my desire

I trip through your wires

Thunder, thunder on the mountain

There's a raincloud

in the desert sky

In the distance

she saw me coming round

I was calling out

I was calling out

Chord Formations:

ONE TREE HILL

First verse with Riff 1:

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill

As the day begs the night for mercy love

The sun's so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars

carved into stone on the face of earth

The moon is up and over One Tree Hill

We see the sun go down in your eyes

Chorus with Riff 2:

You run like river in like a sea

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 ( / )

Third verse with synth chords:

I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts

while bullets rape the night of the merciful

I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky

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)

Oh great ocean, old great sea

run to the ocean, run to the sea.

EXIT

You know he got the cure...but then he went astray,

He used to stay awake to drive the dreams he had away

He wanted to believe in the hands of love...

His head it felt heavy as he cut across the land

A dog started crying like a broken hearted man

At the howling wind... the howling wind

He went deeper into black, deeper into white...

he could see the stars shine like nails in the night

He felt the healing, healing, healing, healing hands of love

Like the stars shiny, shiny... from above.

He put his hands in the pocket, his finger on the steel

The pistol weighed heavy, his heart he could feel

Was beating, beating, beating, beating oh my love

Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.

(He saw the hands that build could also pull down....

The hands of love)

MOTHERS OF THE DISAPPEARED

Midnight, our sons and daughters

Were cut down and taken from us

Hear their heartbeat...

We hear their heartbeat

In the wind, we hear their laughter

In the rain we see their tears

Hear their heartbeat..., we hear their heartbeat

Night hangs like a prisoner

Stretched over black and blue

Hear their heartbeat..., we hear their heartbeat

In the trees our sons stand naked

Through the walls our daughters cry

See their tears in the rainfall
