This is the fantastic new song from U2 called Cedarwood Road, from the album Songs of Innocence.
Great to play, I've used 7th chords a lot to give it a different feel, once you've mastered the intro
riff then the rest is straight forward

Em Am G7
I was running down the road The fear was all I knew.
Cmaj7 Am7 B7
I was looking for a soul that’s real Then I ran into you.
E7 Am7 G7
And that cherry blossom tree Was a gateway to the sun.
Cmaj7 Am7 B7
And friendship once it’s won It’s won… it’s one.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
Northside just across the river to the
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
Southside That’s a long way here.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Cmaj7
All the green and all the gold.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
The hurt you hide, the joy you hold.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Cmaj7
The foolish pride that gets you out the door.
Am7 B7 Am7
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road.

E7 Am7 G7
Sleepwalking down the road Not waking from those
Cmaj7 Am7 B7
‘Cause it’s never dead it’s still in my head It was a warzone in my teens.
E7 Am7 G7
I’m still standing on that street Still need an enemy.
Cmaj7 Am 7 B7
The worst ones I can’t see You can… you can.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
Northside just across the river to the
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
Southside That’s a long way here.
Cmaj7 Em7 B7 Cmaj7
All the green and all the gold.

The hurt you hide, the joy you hold.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Cmaj7
The foolish pride that sends you back for more.
Cmaj7 B7 Am7
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road.

Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
If the door is open it isn’t theft.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
You can’t return to where you’ve never left.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
Blossoms falling from a tree, they cover you and cover me.
Cmaj7 B7 Am7
Symbols clashing, bibles smashing Paint the world you need to see.
Cmaj7 E7 B7 Am7
Sometimes fear is the only place we can call home.
Cmaj7 B7 Am7
Cedarwood Road.
