U2 A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel
(A Rattle & Hum outtake)
(Organ -> Slide guitar -> drums -> electric guitar)
(Note: Organ plays: Eb->Ab Ab->Eb, Slide guitar slides high on 2nd string)
Capo on 3rd fret!
>From where I stand
 
I can see through you
 
And well ya said pretty woman
 
"I know it got to you"
 
I see the stars in your eyes
 
I want the truth but you want the lies
 
I dream you come, I run to you
 
You gave your life for rock 'n roll a-ha
   
Stay, we're on the dark side of love
  
You've got everything you wanted
 
But what you needed you gave away
 
For primitive love
 
And we're riding the mystery train
 
For primitive love
  
A room at the heart
 
Hearbreak hotel
 
A room at the heartbreak
 
Heartbreak hotel
 
A room at the heartbreak
 
Heartbreak hotel
 
(Rest of song continues as above)
You say it's love, it's not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Full of tricks
You're on the street
Selling your kisses so very sweet
(I'm back. And I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
Oh the prize is to hold you back)
A primitive love
And we're riding the mystery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart
Heartbreak hotel.
