The Ground Beneath Her Feet

U2 ? The Ground Beneath Her Feet

(Words by S. Rushdi)

From the soundtrack to the Million Dollar Hotel.

Tabbed by Mark Jones 15/10/00.

This is my interpretation of the song based on Bono and The Edge's

acoustic performance on TFI Friday on St. Patricks Day 2000.

The chords required are:

Bm : 799777

F#m : 244222

G : 355433

A : 577655

This chord progression is used throughout the intro and verses:

Bm F#m G A

For the intro and first two verses I use this picking:

Bm F#m G A

E|-7--------0-|-2--------0-|-3--------0-|-5--------0-|

A|---9--------|---4--------|---5--------|---7--------|

D|-------9----|-------4----|-------5----|-------7----|

G|-------7----|-------2----|-------4----|-------6----|

B|-------7----|-------2----|-------3----|-------5----|

E|-------7----|-------2----|-------3----|-------5----|

^

On these bits start with the E string

And strum up towards the D.

And now for the song:

Verse 1: (pick chords)

Bm F#m G A

All my life I worshipped her

Bm F#m G A

Her golden voice, her beauties beat

Bm F#m G A

How she made us feel how she made me real

Chorus: (strum chords)

G F#m

And the ground beneath her feet

G A

And the ground beneath her feet

Verse 2: (pick chords ? lyric structure slightly more complicated)

Bm F#m G A Bm

Now I can't be sure, be sure of anything

F#m G A Bm

Black is white and cold is heat

For what I worshipped stole my love away

Chorus: (strum chords)

G F#m

It was the ground beneath her feet

It was the ground beneath her feet

Middle 8: (Strum chords from here on in)

Bm F#m G A

Go lightly down your darkened way

Bm F#m G A

Go lightly on the ground

Bm F#m G A

I'll be down there in another day

G A

I won't rest until your found

Play middle 8 again, but replace words by do do do's

Outro:

Bm (strum once)

Let me love you

A (strum once)

Let me rescue you

Let me take where two roads meet

Bm

And I'll come back above

when there is only love
