Last Night on Earth U2
Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono And The Edge
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart <leniarbk@jmu.edu>
This song is tuned down 1/2 step and changes keys from E minor to E.
Much respect to fellow U2 transcriber Steve Palmer, who I think was
the first to have this song on a website.

The more you [G]take the less you feel

The more you have the more it takes today
You got to give it [G]away [D] [A5] [Bm]
You got to give it [G]away[D] [E] [Bm]
You got to give it [G]away[D] [A5] [Bm]
[A5]She doesn't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on [Em]earth

And the sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone

Slipping away, slip slide

You got to give it [G]away[D] [E] [Bm]
You got to give it [G]away[D] [A5] [Bm]

Last night on earth
