Salome Tab

   
Salome was one of the songs from the famous "Achtung Baby" demo tape, wich was stolen 
the sessions.
The song has two versions - "Salome" - a finished version from "Even Better Than The 
Thing" single B side and "High As A Kite" - raw, mixed material from the demo tape.
As many people already know, "Salome" later became "Zoo Station". These songs have a 
similar bass line and almost identical percussions.
This tab is based on the "High As A Kite" version. The main difference between these 
is that "High As A Kite" has more riffs, more solo's and it is much longer.

There is a bass tab in the site available too.

The song is in A

Baby please
Baby please don't go
I got lies to feed
They want skin and seed
And don't make me crawl

Please
Baby don't bite your lip
Give you half what I got
If you untie the knot
It's a promise

Salome...salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome

Baby please
Baby what's that tune
Well I heard it before
When I crawled from your door
And my blood turned blue

Please
Baby please slow down
Baby I feel sick
Don't make me stick to my promise

Salome...salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome

Baby please
Baby don't say no
Won't you dance for me
Under the cherry tree
Won't you swing down low

Please
Baby please say yes
Baby don't go away
You're spilling me
And your precious love

Salome...salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome
