 chords by: Sergio Lucero, slucero@cipres.cec.uchile.cl
 
 
 Intro and verses: Dsus2-A-E-Esus4-E (this is labeled [+])
 
         [+]             [+]
 Yeah, lover I'm on the streets
                     [+]                         [+]
 Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
              Dsus2         A     [+]
 With a red guitar, on fire, Desire
 
 She's the candle burning in my room
 I'm like the needle - needle and spoon
 Over the counter with a shotgun
 Pretty soon, everybody got one
 And the fever when I'm beside her
 Desire, desire
 
 Solo
 tabbed by: James Weber 
 
 here is my best approximation
 
 e--0----0----0----0-----------0----0----0----0--------
 
 B--3/5--3/5--3/5--3/5-3p2p0---3/5--3/5--3/5--3/5-3p2p0
 
 
 basically, you play the stuff on the B string, and hit out hard 
 on the e at the same time, gives it a nice drone effect...more 
 
  Dsus2 A   Dsus2 E
 (Burning, burning)
 
 She's the dollars
 She's my protection
 She's a promise
 In the year of election
 Sister, I can't let you go
 I'm like a preacher
 Stealing hearts at a traveling show
 For love or money, money, money
 Desire

  Solo from "Desire" ("Rattle and hum")  
   
      From hearing the album version, I think it is played on the G, B, E
 and D strings:
   
 E----------------------------------------------(0)--(0)--------------
 B----(3/5)------(3/5)------(3/5)------(3)----------------(3)---(2)--(0)                        
 G----(4/6)------(4/6)------(4/6)----------------------------------------
 
 (two times).
 
      Then, when Bono goes "And the fever-----when I'm beside her-----":
 
 E--------------------------------------------(7)----(10)---(7)-------(7)------(7)---
 B-(7)---(10)--(7)--------(7)-----(7)-----(0)----(0)-----(0)---(10)------(10)----(10)
 G-(0)---(0)---(0)---(9)------(9)-----(9)--------------------------(0)---------------
 D----------------------(0)----------------------------------------------------------
 
 Then back to the main riff...
 
                                                      There you go! (I
 guess...)
