LEMON
chords by: Bob Paley
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

Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
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:

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

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---------------------------

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)
