Now, the chords appear below the words.  I suggest you use tab riff as shown
above for the main verse, but you can always try it with the chord
formations at the end of this file to get a more acoustic feel.

Oh, no, no.
If you should ask then maybe
They tell you what I would say.

Bruised silken skies and burning flag.
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes.

Dislocation.
Separation.
Condemnation.
Revelation.

Isolation.
Desolation.

Bad by U2

I play this song differently from the great two guitar
version in the archive (tabbed by Scott Yanoff).  So, here it is
for one guitar:

BTW, the versions on Live Aid and Wide Awake In America are moved down
a 1/2 step.  I find that most of their live stuff is
Tuned down like that.
