And now all together:


(INTRO)
You can reach
But you can't grab it
You can hold it, control it, oh no
You can't bag it

You can push
But you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, oh no
You cannot connect it


(RIFF1)
You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff


(MAIN RIFF)
You get confused
But you know it
Yeah you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it

Let go, let go

(MAIN RIFF)
Discotheque
Let's go, go

(MAIN RIFF)
Discotheque


(RIFF2)
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You wanna be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head


(RIFF3)


(MAIN RIFF)
It's no trick
'Cause you can't learn it
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay
'Cause you can't earn it


(RIFF1)
You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff

Let's go, let's go

(MAIN RIFF)
Discotheque
Go go, go

(MAIN RIFF)

(RIFF2)
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You wanna be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head


(RIFF3)

Love
You want heaven in your heart
Heaven in your heart
The sun, the moon, the stars

But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
Oh you know there's something more
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Discotheque by U2
(main riff)
Transcribed by Richard Zangoli
(ahowden@magna.com.au)
For those of you that want to play some new U2 this is a
transcription of the 30 second sample of the upcoming single that has been
recently floating around the internet
(along with the sample of Wake Up Dead
Man). If you don't have it I think it is on one of the U2 FTP archives and
on some WWW U2 pages. Island records says that this sample is not of the
final version of the song but we'll have to wait and see. And this
transcription will undoubtably be replaced by a more complete version when
the song is actually released. But for now here is the main riff. The tuning
is standard I think-

E--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------5-----------------------5-------------7---------------5----------
E7--7--7----7--7--7-----7--5--7-------7--7--7------7---7---7-------7-7-7---

And then this is played 4 times over while Bono sings the verse-

E--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------5--------------7-----------------5-------------------------------
E--7--7-------7--7--7---------7---7---7--------7---7---7-------------------

No wonder Bono said that Edge has fallen in love with the guitar

again .......


This song is very easy to play & tab...
make sure you're in 'dropped D' tuning...

Intro/outro:

--x-x---x-x---x-x--x--
--x-x---x-x---x-x--x-- just repeated over & over..
--x-x---x-x---x-x--x--
--9-11--9-11--9-11-11-
--9-11--9-11--9-11-11-
--9-11--9-11--9-11-11-

The 'main riff/solo' is just this:
