The Ground Beneath Her Feet Ukulele

(ver. 1)
U2
U2 ? The Ground Beneath Her Feet
(Words by S. Rushdi)



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
F#m        G           A          Bm    F#m
For what I worshipped    stole my love away

Chorus: (strum chords)
           G                  F#m
It was the ground beneath her feet
           G                  A
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
G                             A
  Let me take where two roads meet
Bm
  And I'll come back above
A                         G   F#m
  when there is only love
     G      F#m
Only love
     G      A
Only love
     Bm (strum once to end)
Only love

Hope you enjoy it.  There are mp3's available on the web if you can't

Cheers,

Mark ;-)
