Chords

One (American Recordings III) 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 [Verse]
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
[Chorus]
         C
You said

         Am
One love

         F
One life

                    C
When it's one need
in the night One love
           Am
We get to share it

     F
It leaves you baby

              C
If you don't care for it
[Instrumental] Am D F G [Verse]
Am           D
Did I disappoint you

F                              G
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth

Am                      D
You act like you never had love

F                       G
And you want me to go without
[Chorus]
         C
Well it's

          Am
too late

        F
Tonight

                     C
To drag the past out

                 C
Into the light
We're one
          Am
But we're not the same

            F
We get to carry each other

C
Carry each other
One [Instrumental] Am D F G [Verse]
Am                      D
Have you come here for forgiveness

F                           G
Have you come to raise the dead

Am                           D
Have you come here to play Jesus

F                       G
To the lepers in your head
[Chorus]
          C
Did I ask

            Am
too much

                F
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
    C
Now it's all I got
We're one
           Am
But we're not the same

         F
Well, we hurt each other

           C
And we're doing 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

C
  One love

Am
  One blood

F
  One life

C
  You got to do what you should

C
  One life

Am
  With each other

F
  Sisters

C
  Brothers

C
  One life

Am
  But we're not the same

F
  We get to carry each other

C
  Carry each other

C       Am   F    C
  One

C       Am   F    C
  One
