Subject: TAB: "Mothers Of The Disappeared" (U2)To: jamesb@animal-farm.nevada.eduDate: Sun, 18 Apr 93 14:47:35 CDTX-Mailer: ELM (version 2.3 PL11)Please add this to your ftp archives (if you haven't already).Here's "Mother's of the Disappeared" off of U2's "Joshua Tree" album. To keep myself from goingtotally insane, I've given treble rhythms above the TAB and bass rhythms below the TAB. Sorry ifthis causes a headache, but it's the only way that I can post this without having to recalculateevery note length. This can be either fingerpicked or flatpicked, your choice. If you don't wantthe rhythm notations, then ignore them. I've decided to try to be as thorough as possible when Ipost stuff on the net, so rhythms are for those who want them. You should be able to easily ignorethem if you so desire.The main guitar is acoustic, and the 2nd guitar is a distorted electric. How to decipher mynotation: top line is guitar type (if it is necessary to point out), 2nd line is lyrics, 3rd lineis chord names, 4th is treble rhythm. Then the TAB, and under that is bass rhythm. You'll figureit out.Notation:s - sixteenth notee - eighth noteq - quarter noteh - half notew - whole note. - play note for one and a half times the value before it (just like a dot in standard notation)^ - ties two note lengths togetherNOTE LENGTHS IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN REST FOR THAT VALUE OF TIME!/ - slide up\ - slide downh - hammer-onp - pull-off"Mothers of the Disappeared" as performed by U2, from The Joshua TreeWords by Bono, Music by U2(Acoustic guitar - let ring)A5 A A5 A (Asus9)e e e q q. e e q. q. q. e e e q q. e e h Q e e e q q. e eE---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------|------------------| B---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------|------------------| G---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------|------------------| D---11-12-|-12/14-14-14-12-|-11--11---11-12-|-12/14---14---14-12-|-11----11/12-|-11\9-9----9-11---| A-0-------|-0--------------|-(0)----0-------|-(0)---0----0-------|-(0)-0-------|-(0)-----0--------| E---------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|-------------|------------------|q. w h^e q. q q. q. h^e q. h^e q.(Asus4) (A) A5 Ae q q e e e s e^e. s s^q s s e Q e e Q e e e q q. e e h^e q eE--------------------|--------------------|-----------------|------------------|------------------| B--------------------|--------------------|-----------------|------------------|------------------| G--------------------|--------------------|-----------------|------------------|------------------| D-11/12---12-12-11-9-|-9\7----7-7---7/9\7-|-----7-7---11-12-|-12/14-14---14-12-|-11---11---12-----| A-(0)---0------------|-0------0-0---------|-(0)-----0-------|-(0)------0-------|-0--0----0--------| E--------------------|--------------------|-----------------|------------------|------------------|q h. q. s s^h h E q. h^e q. q. q. qA5 A (Asus9) (Asus4) (A)e q q. e e q. q. e e e q q. e e e q q. e e s e.e q. q e q. hE------------------|----------------|---------------|-------------------|-------------|-------------| B------------------|----------------|---------------|-------------------|-------------|-------------| G------------------|----------------|---------------|-------------------|-------------|-------------| D-12/14-14---14-12-|-11--11---11h12-|-11\9-9---9-11-|-11h12---12---11-9-|-9\7-7-7---7-|-(7)-7---7---| A-(0)------0-------|-(0)----0-------|--------0------|-(0)---0----0------|-(0)-----0---|-(0)---0---0-| E------------------|----------------|---------------|-------------------|-------------|-------------|h^e q. h^e q.

Not all of the note values add up in the book, and whereI could, I tried to correct them to the best of my ability. In any case, this should do you fairlywell in terms of thoroughness. It may look like a mess, but trust me: just about everything youcould need to play this song is in there. Dynamics and tempo, maybe, but that you should be able toget from just a single listen to the song.--Marc Hirsh (marc@owlnet.rice.edu)"Good, bad, I'm the one with the gun."--- snappy end-of-file sign-off reelin', rockin' quote from Army Of Darkness\ /^ --- ugly red filthy rich source of all evilV
