I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR (from the album "The Joshua Tree")
------------------------------------------
Scott A. Yanoff
NOTE: Much of this is taken from The Joshua Tree songbook.
I have climbed the highest mountains
D
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
G
Only to be with you
D
I have run I have crawled
D
I have scaled these city walls
G
Only to be with you
D
But I still haven't found
A G
What I'm looking for
D
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
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds
You loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame
And my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
CHORD FORMATIONS:
-----------------
D x x 0 2 3 2
G 3 2 0 0 3 3
A x 0 2 2 2 0
Note: the book has D5 and G5 instead of D and G, but I think this makes for
a nicer acoustic version. Below are the 5th chords, which might be good for a
second guitar:
D5 10 12 0 x x x
G5 3 5 0 x x x
A5 5 7 0 x x x
Also, below is tab used in the song, in case you want to play around
with that (heavy echo recommended for best effect):
