The guitar tab is wrong, the progresion is right (it's a basic blues riff...)
but the cords are wrong, its A,D & E (with the guitar tuned a semi-tone down).

| I love how Bono sings "Don't believe them when they tell me There ain't no cure...I, I believe in love." As if love can cure all. This is an awesome song | |

| When Bono says: Heard a singer on the radio late last night He says he's gonna kick the darkness Till it bleeds daylight he is refering to Bruce Cockburn's song "Lovers in a dangerous time" | |

| Basically created as a sequel to 'God' by John Lennon, in which (I believe) Bono is talking about the things around him which he sees as being fake and hollow, but how inspite of all of these unreal things, love remains real. | |

| The refernce to Goldman (while i dont fully know the details) is a counter atack. Goldman whote a scathing book about Lennon and Bono was getting back at him. In hindsight do you think this song was a preview to the 'new U2' (after AB). The sound of this song would not be out of place on AB. | |

| This Song is a great example for why Larry Mullen Jr is one of the best Drummers in the world! As for the meaning I agree with all the above. It is a fantastic song! | |

| I remember a comment from Bono (maybe) that this song was a respectful reply to Lennon's song. Basicly stating that just because I don't believe in something doesn't mean its not real (GOD). | |

| I always thought that as much as Bono loved John Lennon, he always found some hypocrisy in the music and ideals, and he even devotes a line to himself here when he says "I don't believe in riches, but you should see where I live". Ultimately the only thing that you can still believe in after all the crap is love. | |

| Great, great, great song. The first 4 verses are one of the greatest of all time: there's no good without evil, what's happines if you never have troubles? What's truth without lies? The devil is somewhat necessary. I agree with who said that this is the preview Achtung Baby, especially The Fly, it's like the seed of that song. | |
