U2 Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me Chords





Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me U2 Guitar Lesson Learn It In 5 

Part of the Batman Forever soundtrack in 1995 this is one of my favourite U2 songs
With a E5 guitar riff driving the song. There’s a distinctive acoustic E D B G hook before moving to E D B F chords

The verse is just E G A chord progression
Chorus which I really like is B A F G chord progression 

Simple but effective and another song which you can learn to play on guitar in less than 5 minutes

U2 - One guitar chords


In this video James looks at how to play U2 - One from the Achtung Baby album

"One" is a rock ballad played in a 4/4 time signature at a tempo of 91 beats per minute. The verse follows a chord progression of Am–D–Fmaj7–G while the chorus follows C–Am–Fmaj7–C.
Bono described the song's theme as such: "It is a song about coming together, but it's not the old hippie idea of 'Let's all live together.' It is, in fact, the opposite. It's saying, We are one, but we're not the same. It's not saying we even want to get along, but that we have to get along together in this world if it is to survive. It's a reminder that we have no choice". The Edge described it on one level as a "bitter, twisted, vitriolic conversation between two people who've been through some nasty, heavy stuff". On another level, he suggested that the line "we get to carry each other" introduces "grace" to the song and that the wording "get to" (instead of "got to") is essential, as it suggests that it is a privilege to help one another, not an obligation. The band have been told by many fans that they played the song at their weddings, prompting Bono to respond, "Are you mad? It's about splitting up
