Slug
Music by U2 and Brian Eno
Lyrics by Bono
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
This song is tuned down 1/2 step, in D major. The "director" of this fake
film, Peter Von Heineken, is a play on words of U2 manager Paul McGuiness.
with much reverb and a long delay (echoes in parentheses):

the verse uses only 2 chords: Dsus2 and C (Dsus2 is a D chord with an open
1st string) play the chord at the last word of each line, with the above notes
Don't want to lose my shirt
Don't want to dig the dirt
Don't want you to get hurt
Can't help it, I'm a flirt
Don't want to take your drugs
Don't want to be your slug
Don't want to overdress
Don't want to make a mess
Don't want you to confess
Not under duress
Don't want to be untrue
I want to be with you
Don't want to lose my nerve
Don't want to clothe the curve
Don't want to make you swerve
Don't want what I deserve
Don't want to change the frame
Don't want to feel your pain
Don't want to stay the same
