  Title: Satellite of Love
  Album: "One" single
  Transcribed by: Benjamin Denes
  Email: fdenes@mnsi.net
  
  This is probably the closest version of this song that'll come along for
  awhile. I always wanted to play this song, but couldn't find a decent 
  tabbing of it. I tabbed this using the "One" single version rather than
  the live performance from Sydney on video. For effects, I used very light
  overdrive with subtle tremolo. I couldn't write any rhythm or timing 
  instructions, so you'll have to listen to the song for it.
  
  This is played over the first two verses:

  "Sat - e - llite's gone - up - to the sky
  Things like that drive me out of my mind"

  "I watched it for a little while...    I love to watch things on TV."

  "Sa - te - llite..."
  
  
  For the "I've been told, that you've been born, with Harry, Mark and John"
  section, I just substitute the guitarless sound filler with the chords that
  are used for the outro.

  -2--2--2----4--4--4----7--7--7----2--2--2------------------------------------
  
  Play these chords over and over again to wrap up the song. Just listen to
  the song for timing and rhthym and enjoy!
