Gone

Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono and The Edge

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This song is tuned 1/2 step down and also changes keys a few times. Another one of my personal theories is that Bono is singing this song to himself, and he's trying to deal with his success. Just a thought.

This is actually what the riff sounds like:

E

1----------------------<5>--
2---<5>---------------------
3-------------<3>-----------
4---------------------------
5---------------------------
6---------------------------

But since I know that riff is really tough to pull off, I've arranged an easier version to play (which is probably what Edge uses with an octaver and/or an effect that automatically produces harmonics):

E

1----------10-----12--
2---12----------------
3---------------------
4---------------------
5---------------------
6---------------------

use these these in between lyrics in the verses:

1---x-x-x-x-x-x-
2---x-x-x-x-x-x-
3---x-x-x-x-x-x-
4---x-x-x-x-x-x-
5---x-x-x-x-x-x-
6---x-x-x-x-x-x-

1---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-
2---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-
3---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-
4---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-
5---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-
6---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-

You get to feel so guilty, got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won't go away
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till there's nothing left for you anyway

Em
I'll be up with the sun

D Em
And not coming down

D Em
I'm not coming down

D E
I'm not coming down

Em
You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change a name, but that's OK, it's necessary
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway

G Em
Goodbye, you can keep this suit of lights

Em D Em
I'll be up with the sun--I'm not coming down

D Em D E
I'm not coming down, I'm not coming down

Bm Em
And I'm already gone

Bm Am
Felt that way all along

D G D G
Closer to you everyday, didn't want it that much anyway

Em
You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you get to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself, you hurt your lover
Then you discover what you thought was freedom was just greed

G Em
Goodbye, no emotional goodnight

Em
We'll be up with the sun

D Em
Are you still holding on?

D Em
I'm not coming down

D E
I'm not coming down
