Salome

Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart <leniarbk@jmu.edu>

This is a fun little song from an Achtung Baby single (I 
don't remember which one), but it's got a nice groove all 
the same (personally I like the Zooromancer remix better).
When King Herod asked for the head of John the Baptist, he 
had it brought to him on a platter, and Salome was a young 
girl who danced for him then.  
The song is tuned down 1/2 step, and I think it's in B.

Baby please 
Baby please don't go
I got eyes to feed
They want skin and seed now
Don't make me crawl
Please
Baby don't bite your lip
Give you half what I got if you untie the knot
It's a promise

Chorus:

Salome
Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome

Baby please
Baby what's that tune?
Well I heard it before
When I crawled from your door and my blood turned blue
Please 
Baby please slow down
Baby I feel sick
Don't make me stick to the Promise

Salome
Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome

Baby please
Baby don't say no
Won't you dance for me in the cherry tree?
Won't you swing down low?
Please
Baby please say yes
I've been gone all week
But I'll still in the heat of your precious love

Salome
Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it Salome
