Last Night On Earth Music by U2 Lyrics by Bono And The Edge Transcribed by Brandon Leniart This song is tuned down 1/2 step and changes keys from E minor to E. Much respect to fellow U2 transcriber Steve Palmer, who I think was the first to have this song on a website. intro: 1---------------------------------- 2---------------------------------- 3---------------------------------- 4---2--2--2------------------------ 5---2--2--2------------------------ 6---0--0--0---0---0--3b4p0--3b4p0-- 1-------------------- 2---3---------------- 3---2---------------- 4---0---4--4--4------ 5------------------2- 6------------------0- verse: 1------------------------------------- 2------------------------3------------ 3------------------------2------------ 4------------------------0---4--4--4-- 5------------------------------------- 6---0--0--3b4p0--3b4p0---------------- She feels the ground is giving way But she thinks we're better off that way use these chords for the prechorus: G 1---3- 2---3- 3---4- 4---5- 5----- 6----- A 1---5- 2---5- 3---6- 4---7- 5----- 6----- G The more you take the less you feel A The less you know the more you believe The more you have the more it takes today G D A5 Bm You got to give it away G D E Bm You got to give it away G D A5 Bm You got to give it away A5 She doesn't care what it's worth Em She's living like it's the last night on earth riff during 2nd & 3rd verses: 1---0------------0------5-----0-------- 2---------3-------------------------3-- 3-------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------- 5-------------------------------------- 6-------------------------------------- She's not wating on a saviour to come She's at a bus-stop with the news of the world And the sun, here it comes She's not waiting for anyone last bar before chorus: 1---3----3----3-----2-- 2---3----3------------- 3---------------------- 4---------------------- 5---------------------- 6---------------------- G D A5 Bm You got to give it away G D E Bm You got to give it away G D A5 Bm You got to give it away A5 She knows just what it's worth Em She's living like it's the last night on earth 1---7--9--10-- 2------------- 3------------- 4------------- 5------------- 6------------- palm mute: 1----------------------------- 2----------------------------- 3----------------------------- 4----------------------------- 5----------------------------- 6---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--<12>- bridge chords: C#m A E bridge notes: 1--------------------------- 2--------------------------- 3--------------------------- 4--------------------------- 5--------------------------- 6---12---12\9---9\5---5/12-- Slipping away, slip slide The world turns and we get dizzy Slipping away She's living next week now You know she's going t opay it back somehow G She hasn't been to bed in a week A She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep G D A5 Bm You got to give it away G D E Bm You got to give it away G D A5 Bm You got to give it away A5 She already knows it hurts Em She's living like it's the last night on earth Last night on earth Last night on earth 1---7--9--10-- 2------------- 3------------- 4------------- 5------------- 6------------- palm mute: 1--------------------------- 2--------------------------- 3--------------------------- 4--------------------------- 5--------------------------- 6---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-- Em A Em --Brandon Leniart U2 'LAST NIGHT ON EARTH' ------------------------ steve palmer spalmer@engsoc.carleton.ca tune 1/2 step down intro/main riff: E D e-------------------------------------------------- b-------------------------------------------------- g-------------------------------------------------- d-------------------0----7--7-7-------------------- a-2----2-----2------0--2/5--5-5-------------------- E-0--0-3bp0--3bp0---------------------------------- *i hope this doesn't look to complicated. the 3bp0 means: -pick 3rd fret, bend and pull off to 0 verse: E D E D she feels the ground is giving way E D E D but she thinks we're better off that way 'the more you take the less you feel the less you know the more you believe the more you have the more it takes today' chorus: G D A Bm you got to give it away G D E A you got to give it away G D A Bm you got to give it away A she doesn't care what it's worth A Em A Em A she's living like it's the last night on earth 2nd verse 2nd chorus bridge: E C#m C#m A slipping away...slip slide... the world turns and we get dizzy slipping away end on Em back to main riff outro: Em A Em A Em A e-0---------0---------------- b-0--0------2---------------- g-0----0----2---------------- d-2------0--2---------------- a-2---------0---------------- Last Night on Earth I think the main riff goes like this: from: "Douglas S.
