surrender.tab, - U2

Basically all you're playing during the verses is a steady rhythm of A-D-E-D-A

 

A: 5 7 7 6 5 5

D: 5 5 7 7 7 x - I usually don't play the e string, because I'm lazy in that chord shape.

E: 7 7 9 9 9 x

 

At the "Surrender..." lines, I usually bar the top two or three strings at the 12th fret on e, hit twice, then slide them down to 10. This is because I don't have my slide; normally this is where it would go.

Surrender

 

A D E A

Surrender

 

 

A D

Sadie said she couldn't

 

E D

Work out what it was all about

 

A

And so she let go

 

D E D

Now Sadie's on the street

 

A

And the people she meets you know

 

D

She tried to be a good girl

And a good wife

 

Raise a good family

 

D

Lead a good life

 

A

It's not good enough

 

D E

She got herself up on the 48th floor

 

D

Got to find out, find out

 

A

What she's living for

Surrender

Tonight

 

(Rest of song continues same way)

 

Oh, the city's a fire

A passionate flame

Which knows me by name

The city's desire

To take me for more and more

It's in the street getting under my feet

It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you

It's in the things I do and say

And if I want to live

I've got to die to myself someday

Papa sing my sing my sing my song

Papa sing my sing my sing my song

Papa sing my sing my sing my song

 

Surrender
