The Playboy Mansion
words/music by U2 from the album POP
Transcribed by Ryan Combs 1combsry@mystic.slcc.edu

This swanky little number off the Pop album sounds as though it
has a lot of effects.  I don't know everthing The Edge uses but
a Wah Wah would help.

the gates of that mansion  [Play Riff 1 as before]

I never bought a lotto ticket  I never parked in anyone's space
the banks they're like cathedrals I guess casinos took their
          Riff 1 [6 times]
place love come on down don't wake her she'll come around chance
is a kind of religion where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie  I never did read that book love come
on down left my numbers come around
C#m                 B       C#m           A
don't know if I can hold on don't know if I'm that strong
C#m                 B                       C#m
don't know if I can wait that long till the colours come flashing
        A            Riff 1 [4 times]
and the lights go on then will there be no time for sorrow
then will there be no time for shame  and though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe
         C#m             B                  C#m
we'll go driving in that pool  it's who you know that gets you
A
through the gates of the playboy mansion

Riff 1 [10 times ('till the end)]
then will there be no time for sorrow
then will there be no time for shame
then will there be no time for sorrow
then will there be no time for shame
