Sorry it's not entirely complete, but it should be plenty to work from if you listen to
the disc a thousand times.
Note that the main chords (D, G, C, Em) can all be played in their barre form for more
control over the distortion. Also note that in Riff 2, G is substituted for Dsus2 if
played in barre chord form.

Remember this stuff is not set in stone in any way, shape or form. Experiment. It's
fun. Just not with chemicals...
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official U2 tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
