In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher

So this guy comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn blush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills,
sleppend them down
And he's peeling off those dollar bills,
sleppend them down

And I can see the fighter planes
And I can see the fighter planes
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Across the mud huts as the children sleep
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
Up the staircase to the first floor
A man breathes deep into saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official U2 tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
