U2- Discotheque
POP

Intro:
You can reach.....
d|-------------------------
a|--2-2-0-2-0-2-2-0-2
e|--------------------------

Main Riff

e|----7-5-7----7-5-7-----7-5-7--7-7-5-7


Bridge ( with delay )

e|---------------5-7-5

When Bono starts singing " Haaaaa, Haaaaaa" after the second bridge (
Just before BOOM CHA thing) I play:

The outro is the same thing as the intro.

It's not too hard. If you have questions, comments or improvments e-mail
me.

Verse1:

(with 1.Riff but without 2.Part of it)


B5 G5 B5 G5

You can reach but you can't grab it

B5 G5 B5 G5

You can hold it control it You can't bag it

B5 G5 B5 G5

You can push But you can't direct it

B5 G5 B5 G5

Circulate, regulate oh no You cannot connect it



Pre-Chorus:


B5 G5

You know you 're chewing bubblegum

B5 G5

You know what that is but you still want some

B5 G5 B5 G5

You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff

Verse2:

(with 2.Riff)

B5 G5 B5 G5

You get confused but you know it

B5 G5

Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it love

B5 G5

You don't always show it



Chorus:


B5 G5

Let go (Let go)oh oh yeah

B5 G5

Discotheque ah ah
I'm not sure about this part
B5 G5

Go go let go oh yeah

B5 G5

Discotheque



Bridge:

D5 D/C# E5

Looking for the one

D5 D/C# E5

But you know you 're somewhere else instead

D5 D/C# E5

You want to be the song

D5 D/C# E5

The song you hear in your head



In this part I usually pick trough the Bm and E chords.
I'll try to figure out how it's done on the CD in the next time.


After this part the 2.Riff is played again. (with heavy fuzz)


Verse3:

B5 G5 B5 G5

It's no trick you can't learn it

B5 G5

It's the way you don't play, that's okay,

B5 G5

'cause you can't earn it


Then the Pre-Chorus again:


B5 G5

You know you 're chewing bubblegum

B5 G5

You know what that is but you still want some

B5 G5 B5 G5

You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff


Chorus:


B5 G5

Let go (Let go)oh oh yeah
B5 G5

Discotheque ah ah

B5 G5

Go go let go oh yeah

B5 G5

Discotheque


Bridge:

D5 D/C# E5

Looking for the one

D5 D/C# E5

But you know you 're somewhere else instead

D5 D/C# E5

You want to be the song

D5 D/C# E5

The song you hear in your head


Now again the Bm and E stuff.


When I play the song I never use the same ending as on
the CD because I think it sounds not very good and I also
have no idea how I should play it with my guitar. I normally
let it fade out on Bm and E. You must try what kind of
ending is the best one for you.

Have fun
