Johnny Cash
One(American Recordings IV)
By Marcel Veltman
Johnny Cash's version of this U2 song shows the way to mediocre musicians like myself
how to do it just as convincingly without unconvenient fingering on weird tunings and
without incredible range of voice. Brilliant.
(intro) Am, D, F, G
Am D
Is it getting better
F G
Or do you feel the same
Am D
Will it make it easier on you now
F G
You got someone to blame
C
You say
Am
One love
F
One life
C
When it's one need
in the night
It's one love
Am
We get to share it
F
It leaves you baby
C
If you don't care for it
Am, D, F, G
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
(Bridge)
C
Love is a temple
Am
Love a higher law
C
Love is a temple
Am
Love the higher law
C
You ask me to enter
G
But then you make me crawl
F
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
C
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One.
