Music by U2Lyrics by BonoTranscribed by Andy Aledort, sent in by Brandon Leniart <leniarbk@jmu.edu>This is the song that Rolling Stone #443 called "fussy and unfocused", yet itkeeps in the U2 tradition of the first-song-on-the-album-setting-the-mood.This is in D major, and there was nothing wrong with Scott Yanoff's version,it just didn't have any tabs. If it makes it easier, learn these chords thenapply them to the previous version. Tune down 1/2 step for the LIVE versionon "Wide Awake In America".Intro (with delay):1-----------|---------------------|-------------------------|--<12>-<12>-<12>------|
