A Sort Of Homecoming

U2

        G6                D2  
And you know it’s time to go
            G6                D2    
through the sleet and driving snow
           G6                       
across the fields of mourning to a
D2             G6      D4 D2
light’s in the distance 

And you hunger for the time
time to heal, ’Desire’, time
and your earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape

G       G2 G  G2            D2 D4 D Gii
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run  
G              G2   G       G2
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
        D2 D4           D                Gii  
tonight, a high road, a high road out of here

The city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance

And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it’s own

G6                  D2            G6                D2          
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I hmm hmm
G6                  D2            G6                D2 
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I

G       G2 G  G2            D2     
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run, 
    D4  D                G                  
and still we run, we run and don’t look back
G              G2   G          
I’ll be there, I’ll be there 
G2      D2 D4 D      D4
tonight tonight tonight

        C7                                                      
I’ll be there tonight, I believe. I’ll be there so high land,
                         D    D2 G6 D2
I’ll be there tonight, tonight  

G6                 D2            G6          D2       
O come away, I sing I say, um ha,o come away oh say.

G6 D2 G6 D2

                    G6             
The wind will crack in wintertime
D2              G6               
this bomb-blast lightning waltz

D2        G6            D2    G6  D4     D  G G2 G     G2
no spoken words, just a scream....yeah... oh.. oh..... 

  D2          D4             D                      Gii
tonight we’ll build a bridge across the sea and land
G              G2       G  G2  
see the sky burning rain           
    G            G2            D2 D4 D Gii G6 D2 G6 D4 D G6 D2 G6 D4 D
she will die and live again tonight    

And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that’s in the distance
Oh don’t sorrow, no don’t weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home
