Salome Music by U2 Lyrics by Bono Transcribed by Brandon Leniart This is a fun little song from an Achtung Baby single (I don't remember which one), but it's got a nice groove all the same (personally I like the Zooromancer remix better). When King Herod asked for the head of John the Baptist, he had it brought to him on a platter, and Salome was a young girl who danced for him then. The song is tuned down 1/2 step, and I think it's in B.
