U2 – New Years Day (Album: War (1983))

!!! Tune Down ½ Step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb  !!! 

[Am,      C ,      Em,     Em]

All is quiet on New Year’s Day

A world in white, gets underway

And I want to be with you, be with you night and day

Nothing changes on New Year’s Day

…On New Year’s Day

Chorus:

G                     Am                 

I will be with you again

G                     F                      [Am,   C,  Em,  Em]

I will be with you again

[Am,      C ,      Em,     Em]

Under a blood red sky

A crowd has gathered in black and white

Arms entwined, the chosen few

Newspaper say, says, say

G                          Am            

it’s true, it’s true, And we can break through

                G                              F

Though torn in two, we can be one

G             Am

I, I will begin again

G             F                             

I, I will begin again, yeah

Oh and maybe the time is right,
Oh maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.

And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage.
Though I want to be with you,
To be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year’s day.
