The Ground Beneath Her Feet

Words: Salman Rushdie

Music: U2

tabbed by: Jon Ivar Kolstad

Standard tuning. (It's probably tuned down half a step, but my guitar was tuned standard)

This tab is for a capo on the 2th fret!

It's tabbed for the version that Bono and The Edge played in Italy/Early BBC versions

The verse chords are: Am, Em, F, and F(2)

Chorus chords are F and Em, ending on F(2)

Strum these chords upwards and downwards

Am Em F F(2) F#m

e- 2 e-(0) e- 3 e- 5 e- 7

b- 3 b-(0) b- 3 b- 5 b- 7

g- 4 g- 0 g- 4 g- 6 g- 7

d- 4 d- 4 d- 5 d- 7 d- 9

a- 0 a- 4 a- 5 a- 7 a- 9

E- x E- x E- 3 E- 5 E- 7

Lyrics:

Am Em F F(2) Am Em F F(2)

All my life, I worshipped her, Her golden voice, her beauty's beat.

Am Em F F(2)

How she made us feel, how she made me real,

F Em

And the ground beneath her feet.

F F(2)

And the ground beneath her feet.

Am Em F+F(2) Am Em F F(2)

And now I can't be sure of anything, black is white, and cold is heat;

Am Em F F(2) F Em

For what I worshipped stole my love away, it was the ground beneath her feet.

F F(2)

It was the ground beneath her feet.

Am Em F F(2) Am Em F+F(2)

Go lightly down your darkened way, go lightly underground,

Am Em F F(2) F Em (Pick each string)

I'll be down there in another day, I won't rest until you're found.

Am Em F F(2) Am Em F F(2)

Duh-duh-duh....duh-duh-du-duh-du-duh.....duh-duh-duh....duh-duh-duh-duh-du-duh....

Am Em F F(2) F F(2)

Duh-duh-duh....duh-duh-du-duh-du-duh....duh-du-du....du-du-du....

F#m F(2) F

Let me love you, let me rescue you, let me bring you where two roads meet.

F#m F(2) F Em F Em F Em Am

O come back above, where there's only love......only lo(o-oh-oh)ve.....only lo(o-oh-oh)ve...only love......

Em F F(2) Am Em F F(2) Am

............only love................only love........."Alright, The Edge?"

This is the way the song ends in the Italy-show version. Just end on the Am-chord.

I am horrible at tabbing, but you should be able to figure at least some parts out! :c)

Corrections, criticism (is this the way you write it?), or kind words? Send them to: jonivar@kolstad.no

Hope you can enjoy the tab!

Best regards, Jon
