U2 - Miss Sarajevo guitar tab
Miss Sarajevo
Music by U2 and Brian Eno
Lyrics by Bono
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
There was another transcription of this song that was right on the money, but you need to
tune down 1/2 step to stay in key. Also, the film by the same name that the song comes
from is believed to be real. Luciano Pavarotti delivers the incredible opera vocal.
intro:

Dici che il fiume (it is said that a river)
Trova la via al mare (finds the way to the sea)
E come il fiume (and like the river)
Giungerai a me (you shall come to me)
Oltre i confini (beyond the borders)
E le terre assetate (and the thirsty lands)
dici che come fiume (you say that as a river)
Comme fiume (like a river)
L'amore giunger, l'amore (love shall come, love)
E non so piu pregare (and I'm not able to pray anymore)
E nell'amore non so piu sperare (and I cannot hope in love anymore)
E quell'amore non so piu aspettare (and I cannot wait for love anymore)
Gm
Is there a time for tying ribbons?
C
A time for Christmas trees?
Gm
Is there a time for laying tables?
C
And the night is set to freeze?

This is my first internet tabulature transcription, but I have to give Guy
Bouchard the credit for figuring out the chords. I recently got the Passengers
MISS SARAJEVO single, so I decided to fill in the words and add a few chords
at the same time. I had to admit, I had some problems of figuring out some of
the lyrics, so there maybe some mistakes. Corrections? If so, don't hesitate
to email me (paplins@ecf.toronto.edu).
I'm quite anxious for the new U2 CD to come out this summer, and hopefully
U2 will tour this summer (I'll be there, of course). Anyhow, here's the song,
and like Guy mentioned before, this song IS deep.
