Here's my working of the chords to U2's Wild Honey.
 
NOTE: I worked this out with a capo on the fifth fret of my guitar. I don't think it's
it's played on the recording, but It soudn right, and it's easier to play!

       D
In the days
 
When we were swinging form the trees
        G
I was a monkey
                      D
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
 
        D
I could taste
 
I could taste you even then
            G                  D
And I would chase you down the wind
 
Bm      G               D
You can go there if you please
     A
Wild honey
Bm         G               D
And if you go then go with me
     A
Wild honey

      D
Did I know you
 
Did I know you even then
           G
Before the clocks began time
           D
Before the world was made
 
         D
From the cruel sun
         G
You were sheltered
            D
You were my shelter and my shade
 
Bm     G             D
If you go there with me
     A
Wild honey
Bm      G                D
You can do just what you please
     A
Wild honey
Bm         G              D
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
     A
Wild honey
Bm    G     D   A
Wild, wild, wi---ld

          D
I'm still standing
 
I'm still standing where you left me
              G
Are you still growing wild
                D
With everything tame around you
 
           D
I send you flowers
 
Could flowers thaw you heart
            G
I know your garden is full
             D
But is there sweetness at all?
 
Bm      G    Bm7
What is soul
 
Love me
        G
Give me soul
 
Bm     G               D
If you go then go with me
     A
Wild honey
Bm        G                D
Won't you take me, take me please
     A
Wild honey
 
Bm    G                    D
Yeah, swinging through the trees
     A
Wild honey
Bm    G     D   A
Wild, wild, wi---ld
