This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Love Rescue Me (from the album "Rattle and Hum")

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

INTRO uses verse chords (see formations at end of document)

Love rescue me

A A7

Come forth and speak to me

D A

Raise me up and don't let me fall

A E

No man is my enemy

A A7

My own hands imprison me

D A

Love rescue me

A E A

(Same chord arrangement for other verses: )

Many strangers have I met

On the road to my regret

Many lost who seek to find themselves in me

They ask me to reveal

The very thoughts they would conceal

Love rescue me

And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I

D A

Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea

E A/E E7

I'm here without a name in the palace of my shame

A A7 D A

Said love rescue me

E A

(Same chords as first 2 verses: )

In the cold mirror of a glass

I see my reflection pass

I see the dark shades of what I used to be

I see the purple of her eyes

The scarlet of my lies

Love rescue me

And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I

Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea

I'm hanging by my thumbs

I'm ready for whatever comes

Love rescue me

Yeah though I walk through the valley of shadow

E A

Yet I will fear no evil

E A

I have cursed thy rod and staff

A A7

They no longer comfort me

D A

Love rescue me

E A

Love rescue me

E A

Sha la la sha la la

Sha la la sha la la

I've conquered my past

The future is here at last

I stand at the entrance

To a new world I can see

The ruins to the right of me

Will soon have lost sight of me

Love rescue me
