One by U2 is a special song. It contains just a few chords: A minor, D major, F major, G major and C major.,
Give me five minutes and I'll show you how to accompany yourself to the song.

The Full Hand Position of the U2 One Be piano tutorial.

During the U2 One we will limit ourself to playing all chords within the range of G under middle C and F# above middle C with the right hand.

That means that we have to play all five chords in the correct Chord Inversions .

Here are the suitable chord inversions of all five chord within the given range.

A Minor root position F Major 1st inversion
D Major 2nd inversion G Major Root Position
C Major 2nd inversion

We'll set the left hand starting from the lower D to A. Later on we'll have to Stretch our fingers from G to the upper C in order to play the full bass line.

One 1 U2 Groove

I suggest you first practice playing one chord for each bar (or sometimes two chords in a bar) before you move to the next level and add the groove.

The groove is a pattern in the right hand and the left hand that repeats through the whole song. Click here to learn more about how to groove.

Anyways, here is the groove for the U2 one piano tutorial.

And the lyrics to the U2 One Piano Tutorial.

U2/ One lyrics

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When its one need
In the night
Its one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag that past out
Into the light
Were one
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now its all I got
Were one
But were not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I cant be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But were not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One
