LEMON

chords by: XAVIER CAMPOS  





capo on 1st





Intro: Dm Bb Gm



 Dm     Bb                       Gm

Lemon, see through in the sunlight

           Dm    Bb                 Gm

She wore lemon, never in the daylight

                        Dm

She's gonna make you cry

              Bb                Gm

She's gonna make you whisper and moan

                Dm   Bb         Gm

But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone

 C                Gm            Bb

I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under

 C                Gm            Bb

I feel like I'm holding onto nothing



She wore lemon to colour in the cold grey night

She had heaven and she held on so tight

A man makes a picture, a moving picture

Through light projected he can see himself up close

A man captures colour, a man likes to stare

He turns his money into light to look for her

And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore

And I feel like I'm swimming out to her



 F      C       Bb

Ohhhhhh.........................

 F      C               Bb

Midnight is where the day begins (x3)



Lemon, see through in the sunlight

A man builds a city with banks and cathedrals

A man melts the sand so he can

See the world outside			You're gonna meet her there

A man makes a car			She's your destination

And builds roads to run (them) on	You gotta get to her

A man dreams of leaving			She's imagination

But he always stays behind

And these are the days when our work has come assunder

And these are the days when we look for something other



Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins



A man makes a picture, a moving picture

Through light projected

He can see himself up close		Gotta meet her there

A man captures colour			She's your destination

A man likes to stare			There's no sleeping there

He turns his money into light		She's imagination

To look for her

She is the dreamer

She's imagination

Through the light projected

He can see himself up close

        Here's a remix of Lemon, The Perfecto Mix, from the 

Melon CD. 



Lemon (The Perfecto Mix)



Music by U2

Lyrics by Bono

Copyright 1993

Transcribed by XAVIER CAMPOS

This is a super remix of "Lemon" found on the Melon CD.  It 

can be also used for the Bad Yard Club Edit and the studio 

version of Lemon, so work around with it and see what 

works.  First, tune your guitar down 1/2 step.  It's in C 

major.



Bass intro:





1-----------------------------------------------------------------

2-----------------------------------------------------------------

3-----------------------------------------------------------------

4-----------------------------------------------------------------

5---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------------

6-------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-3----5-5-5-5-5







The keyboard sequence can be played using power chords 

while muffling the strings every now and then, and sounds 

good with chorus and a little delay:



        B       B               D       C



1----------------------------------------------

2----------------------------------------------

Then Edge comes in with a guitar loop:

4--------------------------------------

Lemon...see through in the sunlight

She wore lemon...never in the daylight

She's gonna make you cry

She's gonna make you whisper and moan

But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone

I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under

And I feel like I'm holding onto nothing



She wore lemon to color in the cold grey night

She had heaven, and she held on so tight



A man makes a picture, a moving picture

Through the light projected he can see himself up close

A man captures color, a man likes to stare

He turns his money into light to look for her



And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the 

shore...and I feel like I'm swimming out to her



Chorus:



        G               A



1---------------------------

2---8---8--8-----10--10--10-

3---7---7--7-----9---9---10-

4---5---5--5-----7---7---7--

5---------------------------

6---------------------------



Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins

Midnight is where the day begins



(the rest of the song is pretty much the same, so try to 

match the song to the Melon version)
