The Miracle of Joey Ramone by U2

(This is an easy version, but if you are comfortable with power chords,
actually sounds better to sub the intro chords for A5; C5; G5; F5; E5,
and sub the Am's in the verses for A5.)

[Intro]
A C G F E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A C G F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

A5 A5 A5 G F
A5 A5 A5 G F

[Verse 1]
Am
I was chasing down the days of fear
G F
Chasing down a dream before it disappeared
Am
I was aching to be somewhere near
G F
Your voice was all I heard

[Verse 2]
Am
I was shaking from a storm in me
G F
Haunted by the spectres that we had to see
Am
Yeah, I wanted to be the melody
G F
Above the noise, above the hurt

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I was young
C
Not dumb
G F
Just wishing to be blinded
Am
By you
C
Brand new
D
And we were pilgrims on our way

[Chorus]
G D Bm A
I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
G D A
Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
G D Bm A
Everything I ever lost, now has been returned
G D A
The most beautiful sound I'd ever heard

A C G F E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A C G F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
Am
We got language so we can't communicate
G F
Religion so I can love and hate
Am G F
Music so I can exaggerate my pain, and give it a name

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I was young
C
Not dumb
G F
Just wishing to be blinded
Am
By you
C
Brand new
D
And we were pilgrims on our way

[Chorus]
G D Bm A
I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
G D A
Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
G D Bm A
Everything I ever lost, now has been returned
G D A
The most beautiful sound I'd ever heard

[Bridge]
A5 C G/B
We can hear you (hear you)
A5 C G/B
We can he-e-ear you
A5 C G/B
We can hear you (hear you)
G F E
Oooooooh

A5 A5 A5 G F
A5 A5 A5 G F

[Chorus]
G D Bm A
I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
G D A
I get so many things I don't deserve
G D Bm A
All the stolen voices will someday be returned
G D A
The most beautiful sound I'd ever heard

[Outro]
A C G F E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Your voices will be heard)
A C G F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Your voices will be heard)
