I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
LYRICS
When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Till you get to the bottom
Then you see me again
Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Do you, don't you want me to make you?
Coming down fast I don't want me to break you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
When you get to the bottom
you go back to the top of the slide
Where you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Till you get to the bottom
And I see you again
Do you, don't you want me to love you ?
Coming down fast I'm right above you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer (HELTER SKELTER X3)

DESIRE
[+] [+]
Yeah, lover I'm on the streets
[+] [+]
Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
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
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

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
Am - G - F - G is the pattern throughout the song.
The above is considered the "intro".
So when it says intro x2 then play this pattern twice
There must be someway out of here, Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion here, I can't get no relief
Bus'ness men they drink my wine, Ploughmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of this is worth
{section: Intro x2}
No reason to get excited, the thief he kindly spoke
there are many among us, who think that life is a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate (at least not today)
Let us not talk falsely now, Cos' the hour is getting late, Hey (late, late Yeaaaaah heyyeh)
Intro x 8
All along the watchtower, Princes kept the view
While husbands came and went, Bare foot servants too
Intro x 4
All I got is a red guitar, 3 chords and the truth
All I got is a red guitar, The rest is up to you
{section: Intro x4}
Repeat Verse 2
Intro x 4 (Yeaaaah heyyeh e ehhy)
I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
This song is played in the key of C# (C#, F#, G#), but works equally well
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for X4
FREEDOM FOR MY PEOPLE
people.
Play this until Sterling stops singing, and when the harmonica kicks in,
play and A chord. Then, right about when he starts singing again play the
E-chord part again.

Silver and gold.
[Spoken]
"Yep. Silver and gold.
This song was written in a hotel room in New York City.
Right about the time a friend of ours, little Steven,
Was pulling together a record of artists against Apartheid.
It's a song written about a man, in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg.
A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of White South Africa.
A man at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor.
A man who's lost faith in the peace makers of the West.
While they argue and while they fail to support a man like Bishop Tutu.
And his request for economic sanctions against South Africa.
Am I bugging you? I don't mean to bug ya'.
Okay Edge, play the blues."

GOD PART II
But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up
I don't believe in forced entry, I don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by, wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in skid-row, death-row or the gangs
I don't believe in the Uzi, it just went off in my hand
I......I believe in love
I don't believe in cocaine, I got a speed-ball in my head
I could crack you open Do you hear what I said ?
I don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy and the sick stay poor
I......I believe in love
I don't believe in Goldman, his type like a curse
Instant karma's going to get him if I don't get him first
I don't believe in rock 'n roll can really change the world
As it spins in revolution, spirals and turns
I......I believe in love
I don't believe in the 60's, the golden age of pop
You glorify the past when the future dries up
I heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's going to kick the darkness, until it bleeds daylight
I......I believe in love
I feel like I'm falling I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside me with a presence I can feel
I......I believe in love

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into the souls on a tree of pain
From the firefly a red-orange glow
I see the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
In locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Judith wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome
She had a demon seed
She rase flower of fire
I see her burning crosses
I see the flames higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
And I see her come up to me
Her dress red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And she's pealing off those dollar bills
And slapping them down
One hundred
Two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys and quiet city streets
Up a staircase to the first floor
I turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
Outside it's America
"So I'm back in my hotel room,
With Johnnie Coltrane and the love supreme,
In the next room I hear some woman scream out,
That her lover's turning off,
Turning on the television,
ALL I WANT IS YOU

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

This song is played in the key of C# (C#, F#, G#), but works equally well
in [C] ([C], [F], [G]) or [G] ([G], [C], [D]), so long as you don't play along to the recording.

[C#]I have climbed highest mountain
I have run th[Ab]rough the fields
Only to [F#]be with you
Only to [C#]be with you

[C#]I have run
I have [Ab]crawled
I have scaled these [Ab]city walls
These city [F#]walls
Only to [C#]be with you

But I [Ab]still haven't [F#]found what I'm [C#]looking for
But I [Ab]still haven't [F#]found what I'm [C#]looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for X4
FREEDOM FOR MY PEOPLE

        [E]...I want some freedom[E], for my people, I want some freedom, freedom for my
people.

        Play this until Sterling stops singing, and when the harmonica kicks in,
play and A chord. Then, right about when he starts singing again play the
E-chord part again.

{section: Verse}
[E]In the s*** house, a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
Only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town, tin can town
No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fall down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground.

"The [A]exit is sold,"

There's a rope around my neck and [A]there's a [E]

[Spoken]

"Yep. Silver and gold.
This song was written in a hotel room in New York City.
Right about the time a friend of ours, little Steven,
Was pulling together a record of artists against Apartheid.
It's a song written about a man, in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg.
A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of White South Africa.
A man at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor.
A man who's lost faith in the peace makers of the West.
While they argue and while they fail to support a man like Bishop Tutu.
And his request for economic sanctions against South Africa.
Am I bugging you? I don't mean to bug ya'.
Okay Edge, play the blues."

GOD PART II

[E7]Don't believe the devil, I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up
I[A] don't believe in excess, success is to give
I [E7]don't believe in riches, but you should see where I live
I[B]...[Bb]...I[A] believe in l[E7]ove

I don't believe in forced entry, I don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by, wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in skid-row, death-row or the gangs
I don't believe in the Uzi, it just went off in my hand
I......I believe in love

I don't believe in cocaine, I got a speed-ball in my head
I could crack you open Do you hear what I said ?
I don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy and the sick stay poor
I......I believe in love

I don't believe in Goldman, his type like a curse
Instant karma's going to get him if I don't get him first
I don't believe in rock 'n roll can really change the world
As it spins in revolution, spirals and turns
I......I believe in love

I don't believe in the 60's, the golden age of pop
You glorify the past when the future dries up
I heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's going to kick the darkness, until it bleeds daylight
I......I believe in love

I feel like I'm falling I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside me with a presence I can feel
I......I believe in love

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into the souls on a tree of pain
From the firefly a red-orange glow
I see the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky

In locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Judith wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome
She had a demon seed
She rase flower of fire
I see her burning crosses
I see the flames higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky

And I see her come up to me
Her dress red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And she's pealing off those dollar bills
And slapping them down
One hundred
Two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys and quiet city streets
Up a staircase to the first floor
I turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
Outside it's America

"So I'm back in my hotel room,
 With Johnnie Coltrane and the love supreme,
 In the next room I hear some woman scream out,
 That her lover's turning off,
 Turning on the television,
ALL I WANT IS YOU
