############ DROP D FOR ALL - Streets Have No Name
[Intro]
Start with percussive guitar and bass drum
D x 4 G x 4 D x 4 G x 4
Bm x 2 A x 2 D x 4
(open up D percussive chord to more open for start)
[Verse 1 - Bm7 works - muted low strings]
(Lift thumb but do not rotate wrist so can maintain mute and have loud snare)
I want to [D] run
I want to [D] hide
I want to [D] tear down the walls
That hold me in [G-5x0003] side
I want to reach [Bm-9x5555] out
And touch the [A] flame
Where the [C] streets have no name
I, I, I, I want to [D] feel,
sunlight on my [D] face
I see the [D] dust cloud disappear
without a [G] trace
I want to take [Bm] shelter
from the poison [A] rain
Where the [C] streets have no name Oh Ah
Where the streets have no
[Chorus - D triad at 2nd fret - play 5 3 then 2 on high E]
[D] name .............
[D] Where the streets have no name (Head voice, lips tight)
We're still building
Then [G] burning down love, burning down love
And when I [Bm] go there
I go there with [A] you...
(it's all I can [D] do)
[Play high D octave 7 10 no B and lower notes for vamp]
[Verse 2]
The city's a [D] flood
And our love turns to [D] rust
We're beaten and [D] blown by the wind
Trampled in [G] dust
I'll show you a [Bm] place
High on a [A] desert plain
Where the [C] streets have no name Oh Ah
Where the streets have no
[Chorus]
[D] Name ...... Where the streets have no name
We're still building
[G] Then burning down love, burning down love
[Bm] And when I go there
[A] I go there with you...
[D] it's all I can do
[D] Our love turns to rust
[D] We're beaten and [G] blown by the wind,
blown by the wind
Oh when I [Bm] go there, I go there [A] with you
"And i'm on my way"
############# Castle on the Hill
[Chorus 1 - Full drums]
[D] I'm on [D/F#] my [G] way,
[Bm] driving at [A7sus4] ninety Down

[D] I miss [D/F#] the
[G] way you make [Bm] me feel [A7sus4] and it's real When

[Riff - 0 7e 10 (10) for 2 bars - Drums stop]
[D]
[Verse 2 - chords where you hold high A - Full drums]
[D] Fifteen years [G] old and smoking
[Bm] hand-rolled cigarettes [A]
[D] Running from the law [G] through the backfields and
[Bm] getting drunk with my [A] friends
[D] Had my first [G] kiss on a Friday
[Bm] night, I don't [A] reckon I did it
[D] Right, I was younger [G] then
[Bm] take me back to w [A] hen we found
[Pre-Chorus 2]
[G] Weekend [A] jobs and when we got [D] paid
We'd buy cheap [G] spirits and drink them [G] straight
Me and my [A] friends have not thrown [D] up in so long,
[G] oh how we've grown [G] But I can't [A] wait to go home
[Chorus 2]
[D] I'm on [D/F#] my [G] way,
[Bm] driving at [A7sus4] ninety Down
[D] those coun [D/F#] try
[G] lanes [Bm] singing to [A7sus4] Tiny Dancer And
[D] I miss [D/F#] the
[G] way you make [Bm] me feel [A7sus4] and it's real When
[D] we watched [D/F#] the
