Johnny Cash
One (American Recordings III)
By Marcel Veltman
Johnny Cash's version of this U2 song shows the way to mediocre musicians like myself
how to do it just as convincingly without unconvenient fingering on weird tunings and
without incredible range of voice. Brilliant.

[Intro]
Am  D  F  G

[Verse]
Am            D     
Is it getting better
F                  G   
Or do you feel the same
Am              D                
Will it make it easier on you now
F                      G
You got someone to blame

[Chorus]
        C
You said
        Am
One love
        F
One life
                  C
When it's one need
in the night
One love
           Am     
We get to share it
     F            
It leaves you baby
              C         
If you don't care for it

[Instrumental]
Am  D  F  G

[Verse]
Am           D      
Did I disappoint you
F                              G  
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
Am                      D      
You act like you never had love
F                       G    
And you want me to go without

[Chorus]
         C
Well it's
        Am
too late
       F
Tonight
                    C
To drag the past out
              C
Into the light
We're one
          Am          
But we're not the same
            F             
We get to carry each other
C               
Carry each other
One

[Instrumental]
Am  D  F  G

[Verse]
Am                      D         
Have you come here for forgiveness
F                           G  
Have you come to raise the dead
Am                           D  
Have you come here to play Jesus
F                       G 
To the lepers in your head

[Chorus]
         C
Did I ask
        Am
too much
               F
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
    C             
Now it's all I got
We're one
           Am         
But we're not the same
         F              
Well, we hurt each other
           C            
And we're doing it again
You say

[Bridge]
C               
Love is a temple
Am               
Love a higher law
C               
Love is a temple
Am                 
Love the higher law
C                  
You ask me to enter
G                         
But then you make me crawl
                         F
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
                     C  
When all you got is hurt
C       
One love
Am       
One blood
F       
One life
C                            
You got to do what you should
C       
One life
Am             
With each other
F      
Sisters
C       
Brothers
C       
One life
Am                    
But we're not the same
F                         
We get to carry each other
C               
Carry each other
C  Am F C
One
C  Am F C
One
