Tabs (Ver. 2)
Song Title: Love comes tumbling
Artist/Band: U2
Album: Wide amake in America, 1985
Tab by JC Rea([email protected])
Submitted to GTE by: Rohnda
Symbols:
/=slide-up
Tuning:Standard
NOTE: Except for the main riff, a tricky song to tab out. Since the Edge plays variable
patterns and also some blocked-string sounds between chords strumming all along the song,
it would be a nightmare trying to write every strumming pattern into an understandable tab.
I thought it would be better to write chord indications just to ilustrate the formations
where they must be played; all chord formations I heard are shown; for rythm and strumming
patterns it's obviously necessary to listen to the song. Anyway, when it's about chord strumming
patterns, it's up to you how to do it, putting your own style to it.

Listen to the song to figure out the rythm, for this part and for verses.

"Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that"
1st CHORUS:
(These two bars are meant only to show chord formations
and the way one chord slides to another, according to what's
heard in the song. As always, listen to it to figure the rythm out)
