U2 – Stay (Faraway, So Close!) As Performed Live Acoustically on the Elevation Tour from Boston Transcribed by Eden Kung (KefkaTheMad@Yahoo.com) This is the acoustic version of Stay (Faraway, So Close!) that U2 played on their Elevation tour DVD. It’s drastically different from the original and sounds better in my humble opinion. Tune down a half step
