  Intro: D, G
  
  D                                G    
  And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said
  D                                 G
  I got to do something about where we're going.
  D                      G
  Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe
  D                              G
  Run from the darkness in the night, singin'
  
  A            C     G 
  Ah, ah la la la de day
  A          C     G        D          G
  Ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
  
  D                             G
  Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
  D                                 G
  I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
             D
  You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
  G                                                      D
  Scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
                                 G
  From the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singin'
  
  A            C     G 
  Ah, ah la la la de day
  A          C     G        D     G
  Ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
  
   G      D     G
  Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
  
  D
  She walks through the streets with her eyes painted red
  G
  Under black belly of cloud in the rain
  D
  In through the doorway she brings me
  G                                                D
  White golden pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging
                         G  
  She is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will
  
  A          C      G
  Suffer the needle chill
  A                C     G     D     G
  She's running to stand . . . still
  
  Out: D, G (5 times to fade)

  Edge improves on the riff a bit in the concert but this is basically it.
  At the end of song I like to just jam on the D and G 10th (and 12th fret A)
  fret bar-chords avoiding the bass strings.
  
  Tuned down 1 semi-tone (half-step)
