Myself and Jim are [G] getting married [D] tomorrow and [G] in Belgium here and you know for that reason it made the gig all the more special didn't it Jim?
Perfect way to announce it yeah.
Yeah to announce our engagement.
And the best man is Annie Lennox from the tourists.
[Ab] There were some [Em] slight problems I [F] think a lot of people fainted during your sets are you aware of [C] that?
[Eb]
[G] Not personally I think if you get [Ab] 50,000 people like Bono says you're gonna have some people with sore [G] ears and sore heads and fainting and such.
But the point is if you're [Db] gonna go to a concert and faint today was the [Eb] best one I think.
Tomorrow [Eb]
[G] is definitely if you want to faint.
Pick [Dbm] a good concert.
[F] Pick a good concert that is [Ab] most definitely the way to go.
The attentive viewer could guess it.
U2 and The Simple Minds had a celebration that afternoon and didn't save the champagne.
[E]
Which Bono didn't pay attention [Ab] to to announce some deep [Gbm] truths for free.
[F] Jim said to me early on he wasn't sure if he could [C] actually communicate to 50,000 people.
It's a monster it can become a dinosaur but the medium that we both chosen to work in is music.
Is a powerful medium and it can cut [G] through if the attitudes are right.
And what both our stances about is a rebellion against those [F] the attitudes that are prevalent.
People you know satin pants have been replaced [C] by leather pants but it's the same old [G] tripe that they're giving the audience.
Here we are and there [Abm] you are.
Now you look at us and we're gonna give you what you need and that's [F] wrong.
[Am] [G] How do you feel about Van?
Well Van is part of a different era and somebody [C] you know I love very much Van [G] Morrison and we even share the same title for a song for Gloria.
[Gm] [G] [E] And I respect [C] his music and we've learned so much for his music.
But you know a lot of rock and roll looks to the past whereas [Em] myself and Jim our music looks to the future.
And as a whole [G] new generation a [Gm] whole new blood and for too long [Ab] there was a turnicky applied to a kind of to music.
[G] Which wasn't allowing the new blood through but it it burst
Perfect way to announce it yeah.
Yeah to announce our engagement.
