  Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop)
  
  Music by U2
  Lyrics by Bono
  Transcribed by Brandon Leniart 
  
  This is the B-side to the New Year's Day single, along with live versions of
  Fire and I Threw A Brick Through A Window/A Day Without Me--a nice
  compilation of U2's early works.  With one of the most random titles of a U2
  song, for whatever reason, it was named after a guy Bono met in New York and
  wrote a song that was never released.  Back in '82 when it was released, it
  was a sneak peek at the coming new U2 sound--raw, heavy and more focused.
   It's a rebel song...although Bono's vocals seem uneasy and almost straining
  to keep from cracking.  Edge, however, features some of his best backing
  vocals of the early days.  It's in G minor, and tuned down 1/2 step.  It
  starts off with a phaser, but gets more distorted as the song progresses.
  
  Intro/verse (steady down-pick with slight phaser):

  (lyrics thanks to the U2 Lyric Archive)
  I like to smile, but I like to mostly stay with you
  I like good times, but I can't feel this without you
  By my song, the heart is in the place 
  I sing this song, probably so
  If I could sigh, I'd tell the world I'd felt with you
  I like the time
  I like the feeling when I feel you in my arms
  I'll take you in my hand, I'll let you go
  Somebody save me, somebody save me
  Sing it
  Sing my, sing my song
  We sing the same old song loud
  
  Solo (this solo is really 2 guitars playing together, and it's kind of
  dissonant, so I 
  tried to arrange a solo for 1 guitar--just use these notes):

  Smile, though your heart breaks in two
  Touch me when I will be with you

  I like good times, but I can feel it's going wrong
  You sing the same old song
  Now I think it's time to get it right

  Sing out, sing out 
  Sing this same old song
  If I could swim, I'd swim in circles
  If I could drown, I'd drown with you
  If I had enough of my life
  I can't tell if I had enough of you
  
  (end on a G minor chord)
