 Intro: Dm Bb Gm
 
  Dm     Bb                       Gm 
 Lemon, see through in the sunlight
            Dm    Bb                 Gm 
 She wore lemon, never in the daylight
                         Dm 
 She's gonna make you cry
               Bb                Gm   
 She's gonna make you whisper and moan
                 Dm   Bb         Gm               
 But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone
  C                Gm            Bb                   
 I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
  C                Gm            Bb  
 I feel like I'm holding onto nothing
 
 She wore lemon to colour in the cold grey night
 She had heaven and she held on so tight
 A man makes a picture, a moving picture
 Through light projected he can see himself up close
 A man captures colour, a man likes to stare
 He turns his money into light to look for her
 And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
 And I feel like I'm swimming out to her
 
  F      C       Bb              
 Ohhhhhh.........................
  F      C               Bb           
 Midnight is where the day begins (x3)
 
 Lemon, see through in the sunlight
 A man builds a city with banks and cathedrals
 A man melts the sand so he can
 See the world outside You're gonna meet her there
 A man makes a car She's your destination
 And builds roads to run (them) on You gotta get to her
 A man dreams of leaving She's imagination
 But he always stays behind
 And these are the days when our work has come assunder
 And these are the days when we look for something other
 
 Midnight is where the day begins
 Midnight is where the day begins
 Midnight is where the day begins
 
 A man makes a picture, a moving picture
 Through light projected
 He can see himself up close Gotta meet her there
 A man captures colour She's your destination
 A man likes to stare There's no sleeping there
 He turns his money into light She's imagination
 To look for her
 She is the dreamer
 She's imagination
 Through the light projected
 He can see himself up close

 Here's a remix of Lemon, The Perfecto Mix, from the
 Melon CD.
 
 Lemon (The Perfecto Mix)
 
 Music by U2
 Lyrics by Bono
 Copyright 1993
 Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
 
 This is a super remix of "Lemon" found on the Melon CD. It
 can be also used for the Bad Yard Club Edit and the studio
 version of Lemon, so work around with it and see what
 works. First, tune your guitar down 1/2 step. It's in C
 major.
 
 Bass intro:

 1-----------------------------------------------------------------
 2-----------------------------------------------------------------
 3-----------------------------------------------------------------
 4-----------------------------------------------------------------
 5---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------------
 6-------------------------------------------3-3-3-3-3----5-5-5-5-5
 

 
 
 The keyboard sequence can be played using power chords
 while muffling the strings every now and then, and sounds
 good with chorus and a little delay:
 
 B B D C 
    

 1----------------------------------------------
 2----------------------------------------------
 3---4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4------7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5---
 4---4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4------7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5---
 5---2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2------5-5-5-5---3-3-3-3---
 6----------------------------------------------
 

 
 Then Edge comes in with a guitar loop:

 1--------------------------------------
 2---8/12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12-8-
 3--------------------------------------
 4--------------------------------------
 5--------------------------------------
 6--------------------------------------
 

 
 Lemon...see through in the sunlight
 She wore lemon...never in the daylight
 She's gonna make you cry
 She's gonna make you whisper and moan
 But when you're dry, she draws water from a stone
 
 Bridge:
 
 D C 
   

 1------------------------
 2---7---7--7----5--5--5--
 3---7---7--7----5--5--5--
 4---5---5--5----3--3--3--
 5------------------------
 6------------------------
 

 
 Piano riff (with above chords):

 1----------------------------------------------------------
 2---7------8---10----------7---8---10---8---7---8---7---5--
 3----------------------------------------------------------
 4----------------------------------------------------------
 5----------------------------------------------------------
 6----------------------------------------------------------
 

 
 I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
 And I feel like I'm holding onto nothing
 
 She wore lemon to color in the cold grey night
 She had heaven, and she held on so tight
 
 A man makes a picture, a moving picture
 Through the light projected he can see himself up close
 A man captures color, a man likes to stare
 He turns his money into light to look for her
 
 And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the
 shore...and I feel like I'm swimming out to her
 
 Chorus:
 
 G A 
   

 1---------------------------
 2---8---8--8-----10--10--10-
 3---7---7--7-----9---9---10-
 4---5---5--5-----7---7---7--
 5---------------------------
 6---------------------------
 

 
 Midnight is where the day begins
 Midnight is where the day begins
 Midnight is where the day begins
 
 (the rest of the song is pretty much the same, so try to
 match the song to the Melon version)
