Miami

Music by U2

Lyrics by Bono and The Edge

Transcribed by Brandon Leniart

This song is TUNED DOWN 1/2 STEP, but I LEAVE the 2ND STRING at a B

natural to get the harmonics right. Once again, I think Edge has a

special machine to do this, but I can't think of a better way of getting

the right sound. It looks harder than it is--just make sure you've got

it on the bridge pickup and lots of distortion, and it sounds real cool.

I think it's in A minor. With Larry's drum beat, I could just imagine

them using "Miami" to segue into "Bullet The Blue Sky"...and I take it

Ali wasn't with Bono on this Miami trip.

Weather 'round here choppin' and changin'

Surgery in the air

Print shirts and southern accents, cigars and big hair

We got the whells and petrol is cheap

Only went there for a week

Got the sun, got the sand

Got the batteries in the handicam

Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot

Freshmen squeaky clean, she tastes like chlorine

Miami, my mammy

Love the movies, love to walk those movie sets

Get to shoot someone in the foot

Get to smoke some cigarettes

No big deal, we know the score

Just back from the video store

What's he got inside the case?

I want a close up of that face

Here comes the car chase

Miami, my mammy

I bought two new suits, Miami

Pink and blue, Miami

I took a picture of you, my mammy

Getting hot in a photo booth, Miami

I said you looked like a madonna

You said, "Maybe said I wanna have your baby."

We could make something beautiful

Something that wouldn't be a problem

Miami

from: "Dan Bodeman"

There is just some feedback that sounds like feedback coming from his Vox

AC30s. This goes until the lyrics "here comes the car chase" Then it does this

on the low E string.

E---5-5-5-5-555-5(7)-5(7)------------

It goes along with the beat of the drums. The 5(7) is called something like

harp harmonics. What you do to get this is press on the 5th fret with you

index finger then reach over to the 7th fret with you pinky but you just rest

it on the string lightly. Get a really fuzzy distortion to make this work.

Use the same harp harmonics during the rest of the song.

From: AGRIGGSY@aol.com

the edge uses volume swells and on the guitar part its just a little

distortion with a heavy delay around 50 milliseconds. if you have a DD5 put

it on 1 and turn the effect level all the way up.
