WILD HONEY

----------
U2 - All That You Can't Lead Behind


G
In the days 

when we were swinging from the trees. 
         C
I was a monkey 
                        G
stealing honey from a swarm of bees 

I could taste

I could taste you even then 
              C                 G
And I would chase you down the wind 

Em        C                 G 
You could go there if you please 
      D
wild honey 
Em          C                 G
And if you go there, go with me 
      D
wild honey 

Did I know you? 
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time 
Before the world was made

You were shelter 
You were my shelter and my shade 

If you go there with me
wild honey
You can do just what you please
wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
wild honey
 Em      C       G       D
Wild... wild... wild... 

I'm still standing, I'm still standing 
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild 
With everything tame around you? 

I send you flowers
good flowers for your hall 
I know your garden is full 
but is there sweetness at all? 

Em    C    Am    C
love me so... 

If you go there, go with me
wild honey 
Won't you take me, take me please
wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees, 
wild honey 
wild... wild... wild...

If you strum with a steady 4 beat and just use your hammers and pull offs and slides to to the rest it sounds best.
