Surrender
       by U2, From the "War" album

Like most of "War", Surrender is tuned down half a step to Eb.

Slide parts come when I get my slide back dammit.

Basically all you're playing during the verses is a steady rhythm of A-D-E-D-A

A: 5 7 7 6 5 5
D: 5 5 7 7 7 x - I usually don't play the e string, because I'm lazy in that chord shape.
E: 7 7 9 9 9 x

At the "Surrender..." lines, I usually bar the top two or three strings at the 12th fret on e, hit twice, then slide them down to 10.  This is because I don't have my slide; normally this is where it would go.
