U2

Text File

Angel of Harlem - U2 submitted by Warren Black I am frustrated with the other versions of this song that are listed on the net so I would set it straight. The KEY to getting this song right is applying the CORRECT and & F chords. Tuning: Standard EBGDAE Chords: The F, G & Am chords during the breaks and chorus�s are played as per normal. the C & F�s during the intro & verses are played as such: the C is as per normal but with pinky finger on string 1, fret 3. The F in the verse�s is played, from the C shape by merely dropping fingers 2 & 3 (the two middle ones) one string down each, your and index figures stay where they are throughout all the C-F changes. Thus the change C to F and back to C again during the verse�s is done by merely moving fingers 2 & 3 up or one string each. Strum: In the verse�s the C is played two down-one up with a change into F which is down-up, down-up and then back into C again. Listen to the song intro and you will Try changing the strum pattern in the break & chorus for maximum effect It takes some practice to get right but when you do it sounds awesome! Intro : [C F] (x4) Verse C F It was a cold and wet December day C F When we touched the ground at JFK C F Snow was melting on the ground C F C F F On BLS I heard the sound, of an angel C F New York, like a Christmas tree C F C F F Tonight this city belongs to me, Angel Chorus I (change to a normal F) F G F Soul love...this love won't let me go G [C F] (x4) So long...angel of Harlem C F Birdland on fifty-three C F The street sounds like a symphony C F We got John Coltrane and a love supreme C F C F F Miles says she's got to be an angel C F Lady Day got diamond eyes C F C F F She sees the truth behind the lies, Angel Chorus II (change to a normal F) Break: (change to normal chords) Am G F Oooh, oooh�.oooh, aaahh aaaaahhh Am G F (1 strum & stop) She says it's heart...heart and soul...
