Chords for U2 - Zoo TV - Opening Night (1992)

[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ I'm Kurt Loder, this is the Day in Rock.
U2 launched its first U.S. tour in five years on Saturday in Lakeland, Florida.
The band has dumped some of its early repertoire this time out and adopted television as a theme.
But see for yourself.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ We got tickets! _ _ _
[Abm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] Where were you able to get your tickets for the show?
Camped out overnight in St.
Petersburg.
We spent [Bb] three nights.
We stayed [E] out 17 hours!
[Bb] 16 hours!
_ Predictably, U2 had sold out the 8,000 seat Lakeland Civic Center in a matter of minutes.
But some determined fans were still trying to snag a ticket any way they could.
What would you do for [E] a U2 ticket?
I'd run naked [Ab] through here, man.
Do you think that would help in your quest to get a ticket?
Yeah.
No.
_ _ _ Inside the hall, Amnesty International and Greenpeace solicited young supporters,
and vendors regaled the fans with the latest line of U2 merchandise, the smallest item of which turned out to be the biggest hit.
I bought the condoms.
Got a condom pack, yeah.
Who [Cm] knows, you might meet somebody nice tonight at the [Ebm] show and [Ab] you're ready to go, you know? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ Everything's [Ab] alright.
First night, first night, it's [N] alright.
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] Time is a train.
_ _ [Ab] That's the future of the band.
[Eb] There's more to this tour than [Db] a simple four-piece band.
This time out, U2 has brought along a complete [Eb] television set-up, a sort of [Ab] fifth member of the group, which they call Zoo [N] TV.
We've got some small people in our audience, and I think that they're ready for the ride.
I think it is a bit of a ride.
_ _ The whole Zoo TV thing is pushing it as far as we can.
Want to take a look at what we've got for Christmas here? _ _ _ _ _
_ We've got a TV [Cm] station.
Zoo [Eb] TV operates like an extra instrument, calling up video [Ab] images to complement various songs.
A man will rise, _ a man will [Eb] fall, when Jill faints in [Ab] love.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] There's a working TV control room on the arena floor, which [Ab] can program, distort and downlink all kinds of video signals,
including whatever happens to be flying around on the broadcast spectrum at any given moment.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ As _
[Ab] _ _ for the U2 show itself, it kicks off with eight straight songs from the group's current [Ebm] album, Maktoum Baby,
and [Db]
concentrates on more recent material throughout, disregarding anything [Ab] earlier than the band's fourth LP.
_ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] [Gb] I think a lot of them are looking for a New Year's Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday, but [Bb] as far as they did a lot of their new stuff,
I think they're adjusting to the times, and I think it was a great show, and I [Db] know we all appreciate U2.
A lot of the [B] fans we talked to afterwards were wondering why you guys made the [N] decision not to do some of the stuff from the earlier albums.
_ _ Didn't want to.
Had enough of doing that over the years already?
Just wasn't what _ _ we were feeling like right now.
We're into [Fm] Zoo TV.
[G] _ [Ebm] That's where we're at. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I thought [Eb] all the gliminal messages that came from the screen really hit home in a lot of ways. _ _
_ I'm into it, [N] we're into it, and I really think that the real U2 fans that have been around, they'll be into [Eb] it.
We might lose some of the pop kids, [F] but [Ab] we don't need them.
I'm gonna go.
_ _ _ U2 will play Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday, and that same day will release One, the
