staring at the sun
Hi. I am pretty new to the guitar and am struggling to figure out the strumming pattern for Staring at the Sun. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you. |

Intro: Am,G,F,Em x3
Am G Summer stretching on the grass F Em Summer dresses pass Am G In the shade of a willow tree F Em Creeps a crawling over me Am G Over me and over you F Em Stuck together with God`s glue Am G It`s going to get stickier too F It`s been a long hot summer F(fret 3) Let`s get under the covers F Don`t try too hard to think F(fret 3) Don`t think at all C I`m not the only one Am Starin` at the sun F Afraid of what you`d find G If you took a look inside C Not just deaf and dumb Am Staring at the sun F Not the only one G Who`s happy to go blind Am, D x2 (Just continue with the same chords through out the song) There`s an insect in your ear If you scratch it won`t disappear It`s gonna itch and burn and sting Do you want to see what the scratching brings Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace? `Cause those that can`t do often have to Those that can`t do often have to preach To the ones staring at the sun Afraid of what you`d find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun I`m not the only one Who`s happy to go blind Intransigence is all around Military still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won`t say goodbye Referee won`t blow the whistle God is good but will he listen I`m nearly great But there`s something I`m missing I left in the duty free Though you never really belonged to me You`re not the only one Starin` at the sun Afraid of what you`d find If you stepped back inside I`m not sucking my thumb I`m staring at the sun Not the only one Who`s happy to go blind F F(fret 3) Ah ah I Ah ah I Ah ah I Ah ah I |

(Staring at sun studio version)
Am = X02210 G = 320033 F = 133211 Em = 022000 G (barr) = 355433 C = X32010 D = XX0232 Dsus4 = XX0233 Intro = Am | G | F | Em | X2 (Verse 1) Am G Summer stretching on the grass F Em Summer dresses pass Am G In the shade of a willow tree F Em Creeps a crawling over me Am G Over me and over you F Em Stuck together with God`s glue Am G It`s going to get stickier too F It`s been a long hot summer G (barr) Let`s get under the covers F Don`t try too hard to think G (barr) Don`t think at all (Chorus) C I`m not the only one Am Starin` at the sun D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Afraid of what you`d find F If you took a look inside C Not just deaf and dumb Am Staring at the sun D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Not the only one F Who`s happy to go blind Am | G | F | Em x2 (verse 2) same chords as verse 1 There`s an insect in your ear If you scratch it won`t disappear It`s gonna itch and burn and sting Do you want to see what the scratching brings Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace? F `Cause those that can`t do G (barr) often have to F Those that can`t do G (barr) often have to preach (Chorus) C Am To the ones staring at the sun D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Afraid of what you`d find F If you took a look inside C Not just deaf and dumb Am Staring at the sun D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D I`m not the only one F Who`s happy to go blind Break : Am | D | Am | G | Am | G | D Dsus4 D Dus4 D Dsus4 D | Note - for verse 3 bono isnt playing guitar untill 'i left it in the' line.. and when played live edge playes a riff around the Am chord. I just strum Am chord palm muted through the whole verse untill the guitar comes back in Pm = Palm muted (Verse 3) Am (pm) Intransigence is all around Military still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won`t say goodbye Referee won`t blow the whistle God is good but will he listen I`m nearly great But there`s something I`m missing F I left it in the G (barr) duty free -aaaa F G (barr) Though you never really belonged to me (Chorus) - same chords as previous chorus' You`re not the only one Starin` at the sun Afraid of what you`d find If you stepped back inside I`m not sucking my thumb I`m staring at the sun Not the only one Who`s happy to go blind outro: Am | D | Am | G | x 10 (to fade) this is 100% i reckon |
