Wild Honey U2
(c)2000
This is a simple song in G, but it has 4 guitars so it can get a little
confusing.

WILD HONEY
----------
U2 - All That You Can't Lead Behind
[G]In the days
when we were swinging from the trees.
I was a m[C]onkey
stealing honey from a sw[G]arm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would ch[C]ase you down the w[G]ind
[Em]You could [C]go there if you pl[G]ease
wild h[D]oney
[Em]And if you g[C]o there, go with m[G]e
wild h[D]oney
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
If you go there with me
wild honey
You can do just what you please
wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
wild honey
W[Em]ild... w[C]ild... w[G]ild... [D]
I'm still standing, I'm still standing
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you?
I send you flowers
good flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
but is there sweetness at all?
[Em]love m[C]e so.[Am].. [C]
If you go there, go with me
wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees,
wild honey
wild... wild... wild...

If you strum with a steady 4 beat and just use your hammers and pull offs and slides to to the rest it sounds best.
