"Desire"

chords by: Sergio Lucero, slucero@cipres.cec.uchile.cl


Intro and verses: Dsus2-A-E-Esus4-E (this is labeled [+])

        [+]             [+]
Yeah, lover I'm on the streets
                    [+]                         [+]
Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
             Dsus2         A     [+]
With a red guitar, on fire, Desire

She's the candle burning in my room
I'm like the needle - needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire

Solo
tabbed by: James Weber 

here is my best approximation

e--0----0----0----0-----------0----0----0----0--------

B--3/5--3/5--3/5--3/5-3p2p0---3/5--3/5--3/5--3/5-3p2p0


basically, you play the stuff on the B string, and hit out hard 
on the e at the same time, gives it a nice drone effect...more 

 Dsus2 A   Dsus2 E
(Burning, burning)

She's the dollars
She's my protection
She's a promise
In the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts at a traveling show
For love or money, money, money
Desire

 Solo from "Desire" ("Rattle and hum")  
  
     From hearing the album version, I think it is played on the G, B, E
and D strings:
  
E----------------------------------------------(0)--(0)--------------
B----(3/5)------(3/5)------(3/5)------(3)----------------(3)---(2)--(0)                        
G----(4/6)------(4/6)------(4/6)----------------------------------------

(two times).

     Then, when Bono goes "And the fever-----when I'm beside her-----":

E--------------------------------------------(7)----(10)---(7)-------(7)------(7)---
B-(7)---(10)--(7)--------(7)-----(7)-----(0)----(0)-----(0)---(10)------(10)----(10)
G-(0)---(0)---(0)---(9)------(9)-----(9)--------------------------(0)---------------
D----------------------(0)----------------------------------------------------------

Then back to the main riff...

                                                     There you go! (I
guess...)
