If You Wear That Velvet Dress

Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono and The Edge
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart 

Tune 1/2 step down--in D minor.  "I don't want to talk about that song 
too much, but let's just say it's haunted." says Bono.  "It's all 
tangled up in ultraviolet."

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
Feeling sea sick again
And the whole world could just dissolve into a glass of water
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be as blue as you
It's her daylight that gets me through
We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a 2 year old who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon's drawn its cutains
It's a private show, no one has to know
I'm wanting

*I've arranged this for an acoustic without a cutaway--I think Edge 
plays this higher up on the fretboard, but you can play it using this 
solo--I didn't want to alienate the acoustic people here

Sunlight, sunlight fills my room
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon

It's okay, the struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray
But if you wear that velvet dress

If you wear that velvet dress
Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls?
