electric guitars)

This is a great new U2 tune. There is more than one version too. I tabbed
the most widely played one, which is also the one I like most.

Part Two (by itself):
Im not too good at figuiring out solos, unless they are
easy (like the one above), so all I can say about the
second part of the solo is that it is anascending
version of the one above, that goes higher, and finishes on:
