Music by U2 
Lyrics by Bono
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart 

This song really shows off Bono's vocal capabilities on 
their 4th album, where Bono truly masters his Bono Vox, his 
great voice.  Since the song is just a vocal played over a 
G chord, I tried to tab out his vocal line.  If you want 
it to sound a little different, you may want to bend on 
some notes to give it a bluesy sound, or play it through 
distortion to give it a Hendrix sound.  Try to vibrate 
the notes a little to make it sound better.
