Your Blue Room

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

This song is also tuned down 1/2 step.  The film from which the song came,
"Par-Dela Les Nuages" ("Beyond The Clouds")is believed to be real, and Edge
plays the organ in the song, and Adam speaks the dialogue at the end.  As
well as being on the Passengers album, it also appeared on the "Staring At
The Sun" single, and is without a doubt the best song on the Passengers album.

the opening chords are Em, D, F, C
here are some of the riffs played along with the verse:

It's time to go again to your blue room
Em                    D             F         C                                           
Got some questions to ask of you in your blue room
Em               D                                                                       
The air is clean, your skin is clear
F                                  C                                                
I've had enough fun hanging 'round here
Em                       D             F         C                                       
It's a different kind of conversation, your blue room
Em     D      F     C                                                              
Saw me coming in outside
Em     D          F           C                                                          
Saw me coming somewhere I can hide
    Em         D                 F         C                                       
And time is a string of pearls...your blue room

See the future just hanging there...your blue room
Em             D                                                                       
A new frame, a new perspective
F               C                                                                   
Looking down on my objectives
Em                D                           F         C                                
Your instructions whatever their directions...your blue room
Em     D       F           C                                                              
Saw me coming, east by the moon
Em     D       F       C                                                                  
Saw me coming, can you feel

One day I'll be back, your blue room

Zooming in, zooming out, nothing I can't do without
A lense to it all up close, magnifying what no one knows
Never in company, never alone, no car alarm, no cellular phone





Your Blue Room

Intro:    D#m, C#, E, B

Verse:                 D#m*     C#  E           B
          It's time to go again, to your blue room.
                   D#m                                  C#            E      
                 B
          Have some questions to ask of you, in your blue room

Chorus:        are the same for the chorus as it is for the verse


Bridge (falcetto)
          E (high), D#m, B, F#m, C#, B, F#m, C#

The lead is played in D# (A string, 6th fret, and played in the 3 fret box 
(frets 4,5 and 6) on the A and D strings.   The Edge plays the lead starting 
on the open D string, so my guitar is tuned down a half step.  Just 
transpose these notes up one to get in the right key.
