Intro to Running to Stand Still by U2
A augmentedA few notes: There is more than one guitar playing but I stuck most all of
it on one line. There are some ragged background bits I left out. If you
want you can play those bends on the A augmentedA string to go easier on your
fingertips. The slide-bends are smoothed out so it sounds like a full bend.
Most importantly, the whole song is a 1/2 step up.

^listen carefully ^synth comes
for this. in here (D MajorD).
Oh incidentally, the little transition between chords is this:
e---------- The reason it's so high up the frets is that it's done with
b------10-- the keyboard, which is playing the equivalent of E-barre D's
g--11------ and G's at the 10th and 3rd frets, respectively.
The chords can be found in joshua_tree.tab. They were done by Jacob
Mattison ([email protected]), who I don't know personally but I
think he's a cool guy that should get credit for his work.
Corrections and comments welcome.
