Mysterious Ways

U2

(Heavy distortion recommended) This song can be played with a capo on the 8th fret, if you can do that. Then it becomes fairly simple just playing D instead of A, etc. (see the chord formations). Or you can play it with a , which is how I've finally put the chords. (Editor's Comment) Intro/transitions: (Repeated about 9 times) E-------------------------------------- B------10-10--------------------------- G-------9--9--------------------------- D----7--7--7--------------------------- A-10----------------------------------- E-------------------------------------- (Note: the above is basically the chord played on a few strings) (Note: chords given below generally are played by an organ in background) Johnny took a walk with your sister the moon Let her pale light in to fill up your room You've been living underground, eating from a can You've been running away from what you don't understand (love) Chorus: (the chorus basically just switches back between the chords) E--------------10-10-|----------------- B------10-10---10-10-|----------------- G-------9--9----7--7-|----------------- D-------7--7---------|----------------- A--------------------|----------------- E--------------------|----------------- () (So, when you see , play the above chord formations, respectively) She's slippy, you're sliding down She'll be there when you hit the ground It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain Let her talk about the things you can't explain To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal If you want to kiss the sky Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!) She's the wave, she turns the tide She sees the man inside the child It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways (x3) It's alright...it's alright...it's alright Lift my days...light up my nights Guitar Solo: E-15-17-15-17-15-17-15-17-15-17------- B------------------------------------- G------------------------------------- D------------------------------------- A------------------------------------- E------------------------------------- (Repeat above riff 5 times) E--9--9--9--9--9--9-10--9--7---------- B-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------- G--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9---------- D------------------------------------- A------------------------------------- E------------------------------------- (Repeat above riff 6 times) (Note: this is just a "play" on the chord) Bridge: (Strum each chord once, and let ring) One day you'll look back and you'll see Where you were held how by this love While you could stand there And not move on this moment Follow this feeling It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright...it's alright...it's alright We move through miracle days Spirit moves in mysterious ways She moves with it, she moves with it Lift my days and light up my nights
