Trond Mannsverk (t_mannsverk@hotmail.com) A Sort of Homecoming (Live) Words : Bono Music : U2 Transcribed : P Dagnall. The opening riff is a typical chordal pick that Edge is renownd for, and if you look closely and are familiar with Sunday Bloody Sunday (and who wouldn't be !!), it is the same pattern, just picked in a different way. This is played over the 1st verse, and after the middle 8, and during the outro. Riff 1 : -------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0---------0-----0-------------- -----3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3---------- ---4-----4-----4---2-----2-----2---0-----0-----0---2-----2-----2------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And you know it's time to go . . ." The next riff is played over G. Riff 2 : -------------------5-----7---5---------------------------------------------- -------8-----8---8---8---------8---8---------------------------------------- -----7-----7---7-------7---------7------------------------------------------ ---5-----5------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, oh, oh on border land we . . . " "I'll be there, I'll be there . . ." The next riff is played over D. Riff 3 : ---------10-------10----------------10-------10----------------------------- ------10-------10-------10-------10-------10-------10----------------------- ---11-------11-------11----11-12-------12-------12----12-11----------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Run, and still we run, we run and don't look back . . ." Finally the outro riff is riff 1, with this added variation. Outro : -------0--3--2--- -----3----------- ---2------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------------------------------------------- A Sort of Homecoming (live) Transcribed by Richard Zangoli(rzangoli@magna.com.au) This is a transcription of the live version of the song that appears on the Wide Awake in America CD and on the Unforgettable Fire video. Most of the song involves playing chords arpeggio, so this leaves a lot of room to ad lib, but I think my transcription is reasonably close to the money. As always with U2 live versions, tune down 1/2 a step. Intro riff- E------------0---------------0-----------0--- B-------3---------------3------------------- G---4--------------4--------------4----------- E--------------0----------------0------------0---- B---------3---------------3------------------------ G---2----------------2----------------2---------- Play the intro riff over and over again for the first verse and then when Bono starts to sing "ohhh, ohhhh, on borderland..." play Riff 2 (involves some finger stretching!) Riff 2- E-------------3-----------3------------5(hold)-----7p5--- B--------3---------------------3------------------------- G---0----------------0------------------------------------ E-----------5--------- B-----------------3--- This is played twice. G---0----------------- The next riff that is played I will call Riff 3. Riff 3- E----------------10----------------10-------------10-- B----------7-----------------7------------------------ G-----7-----------------7------------------7----------- E--------------10-------------------10------------10-- B--------8-------------------8------------------------ G---7------------------7--------------------7--------- This is also played twice. Riff 2 and Riff 3 are then played again. Then for the next verse Edge strums the intro chords loudly, letting then ring. That is G(?) (XX0430) and Dsus2 (XX0320). Listen to the song for when and how they are played. After this there isn't really anything new, except for a Cmaj7 (X3545X) that is played a couple of times when Bono sings "I'll be there tonight....". For the ending, play the intro riff and then at the very end ad lib with it. If there are any questions don't hesitate to e-mail me, at rzangoli@magna.com.au A Sort of Homecoming Music by U2 Lyrics by Bono Transcribed by Andy Aledort, sent in by Brandon Leniart This is the song that Rolling Stone #443 called "fussy and unfocused", yet it keeps in the U2 tradition of the first-song-on-the-album-setting-the-mood. This is in D major, and there was nothing wrong with Scott Yanoff's version, it just didn't have any tabs. If it makes it easier, learn these chords then apply them to the previous version.

A D One come here to justify, G Em One man to overthrow, A D In the name of love, G Em What more in the name of love. One man crawled on a barbed wire fence, One man he resist. One man washed on an empty beach. One man betrayed with a kiss. In the name of love, What more in the name of love. Early morning, April 4. A shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at last, they took your life, But they could not take your pride. In the name of love, What more in the name of love.

The intro and outro are played by rapidly going back and forth on the 12th and 15th frets on the 1st and 2nd strings. The chorus is simply E and D chords being arpegiated. I wish I had my CD here to transcribe this completely, but this is basically how it goes: Intro (with delay set on fast with few repeats, played with a heavy 4/4 beat) (faster) 1)---12---12---12---12---12---12---12---12------15-15-15-15-15-15- 2)------12---12---12---12---12---12---12---12---15-15-15-15-15-15- 3)---------------------------------------------------------------- 4)---------------------------------------------------------------- 5)---------------------------------------------------------------- 6)---------------------------------------------------------------- When the band comes in, the intro is repeated with several overdubbed fills, 3 of which are below: 1)---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-- 2)---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-- 3)---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-- (strum muted strings) 4)---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-- 5)---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-- 6)---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-- 1)---<12>--<12>--<12>- 2)---<12>--<12>--<12>- 3)---<12>--<12>--<12>- (strum natural harmonics 4)---<12>--<12>--<12>- at 12th fret) 5)---<12>--<12>--<12>- 6)---<12>--<12>--<12>- 1)---12--(12)--(12)--- 2)---12--(12)--(12)--- 3)-------------------- (Hit E & B at 12th frets and 4)-------------------- let echo repeat) 5)-------------------- 6)-------------------- Another overdubbed fill is Edge sliding up and down the neck of the guitar, so try to do as many overdubs that you can. The Verse is done with Edge strumming muted strings then hitting E & B of the 12th fret on the 1st and 2nd strings, letting them echo. The Chorus can be done by arpegiating E and D chords: (E) (D) 1)---------------------------------------- 2)---------9-----------------7------------ 3)-------9----9------------7----7--------- 4)-----9--------9--------7--------7------- 5)---7------------7---5--------------5---- 6)---------------------------------------- The part before the outro (Bono sings "do, do, do") is the same as the above overdubs. The outro (with Bono singing fast) is the same as the intro. Here's a tip: For those with a delay pedal, listen to the last 2 seconds of the song, when Edge slides down the strings, which is echoed. This will give you an idea as to the speed and the repetition of the delay used. --Brandon Leniart ####################### The Unforgettable Fire# ####################### Music by U2 Lyrics by Bono Transcribed by Andy Aledort, sent in by Brandon Leniart intro: A.H.

Adam didn't even know he was being recorded, he was simply noodling around with Edge. When they listened to the tape afterwards, they thought it sounded interesting and put it on as an intro to the 1st side of the album. The 24 karat gold CD of "The Unforgettable Fire" has a slightly longer version of this. Shake the notes slightly to get the right dreamy kind of atmosphere the song creates. (delay with many repeats, put as much reverb as possible) 1---------------------------------------------------------------- 2---13/15---(15)--(15)--(15)--(15)---12---(12)--(12)--(12)--(12)- 3---------------------------------------------------------------- 4---------------------------------------------------------------- 5---------------------------------------------------------------- 6---------------------------------------------------------------- 1------------------------------------------------------------- 2---12--(12)--(12)--(12)--(12)----x-x-x-x-x-x-(x)-(x)-(x)-(x)- 3---12--(12)--(12)--(12)--(12)----x-x-x-x-x-x-(x)-(x)-(x)-(x)- 4------------------------------------------------------------- 5------------------------------------------------------------- 6------------------------------------------------------------- 1-------------------------------------------------------------------- 2---15---(15)--(15)--(15)--(15)-------------12----------(12)---------(12)- 3----------------------------------12-------------(12)---------(12)------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------------- 5-------------------------------------------------------------------- 6-------------------------------------------------------------------- 1------------------------------------------------------------- 2-------------------------12----12---10-----(10)--(10)--(10)-- 3---12-------------------------------------------------------- 4------------------------------------------------------------- 5------------------------------------------------------------- 6------------------------------------------------------------- 1------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-----------10--------------------10------------(10)-----------(10)- 3---10------------------10---------------(10)----------(10)--------- 4------------------------------------------------------------------- 5------------------------------------------------------------------- 6------------------------------------------------------------------- 1---3/7--(7)--(7)--(7)--(7)----19\15--(15)--(15)--(15)--(15)- 2---3/7--(7)--(7)--(7)--(7)----19\15--(15)--(15)--(15)--(15)- 3------------------------------------------------------------ 4------------------------------------------------------------ 5------------------------------------------------------------ 6------------------------------------------------------------ (do long slides, letting the slide echos repeat) (rake strings behind the nut) 1---0--0--0--0--0--0--(0)--(0)--------------------------------- 2----------------------------------------0--0--0--0--(0)--(0)-- 3-------------------------------------------------------------- 4-------------------------------------------------------------- 5-------------------------------------------------------------- 6-------------------------------------------------------------- 1---0--0--0--0--0--0--(0)--(0)---12--12--12--12--12--12--(12)--(12)- 2------------------------------------------------------------------- 3------------------------------------------------------------------- 4------------------------------------------------------------------- 5------------------------------------------------------------------- 6------------------------------------------------------------------- 1----------------------------------------- 2---12--12--12--12--12--13/15--(15)--(15)- 3----------------------------------------- 4----------------------------------------- 5----------------------------------------- 6----------------------------------------- *********************************************************** *********************************************************** "Bad" (Live Version) by U2.# tabbed by Matt Stewart# ####################### Okay, here is a complete full tab for this incredible song. It's bits and pieces of what everyone else has contributed, but all together in one format. *NOTE: Tune down the guitar a 1/2 step. Use a 0.4 second delay with 2-3 repeats (turn delay volume up all the way), some chorus, a little gain (make sure it sounds clean). Okay, there are three main riffs to this song. It's a really simple song when you break it down; getting the right sound is the hardest part. OPENING RIFF ------------ The opening riff is played throughout most of the song - during the verse mostly. The key to playing it is muting the strings while letting the high notes ring. In the tab below, the parentheses - ( ) - surrounding the notes indicates that you mute those strings (i.e., keep your fingers on the frets indicated but do not push strings down onto fret board). Also note that when you play the "ringing notes" (i.e., as indicated below, the 12th fret on the high E and the 10th fret on the B string, only play them once, and let the delay pedal play the second note that you hear.... I say that because I had a bad habit of striking those strings twice). e-----------------------------12-------------------------------12--- b------------------------------------------------------------------- g------------------------------------------------------------------- d--(12)--(12)-(12)-(11)-(11)-------(12)--(12)-(12)-(11)-(11)-------- a--(12)--(12)-(12)-(12)-(12)-------(12)--(12)-(12)-(12)-(12)-------- e------------------------------------------------------------------- e------------------------------------------------------------------- b-----------------------10------------------------10-----10--------- g-(9)--(9)-(9)-(7)-(7)------(9)--(9)-(9)-(7)--7-------7------7------ d-(7)--(7)-(7)-(7)-(7)------(7)--(7)-(7)-(7)-(7)-------------------- a------------------------------------------------------------------- e------------------------------------------------------------------- That's opening riff, repeat it over and over. BRIDGE RIFF ----------- The bridge riff is pretty basic; it is like playing A and Asus4 chords apperegio. Anyway, this part of the tab enters the song usually when Bono begins to sing "Woo hoo, woo hoo, woooo hoooo.... Let it go..." It also is played when Bono sings "Colors clash, collide in bloodshot eyes...If I could you know I would..." e---0---0---0---0---0----------------------0------------------- b-2---2---2---2---2---2---3---3---3---3-------3---3------------ g-----------------------2---2---2---2---2-------2-------------- d-------------------------------------------------------------- a-------------------------------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------------------------------- SOLO ---- The solo is pretty basic as well. Edge many times will improvise on this part, so I am not too technical with the tab, but the main riff is here: e----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12----12---- b-14----14----14----14----14----14----14----14----14----14----14- g---------------------------------------------------------------- e----10----10----10----10----10----10----10----10----10----10---- b-10----10----10----10----10----10----10----10----10----10----10- g---------------------------------------------------------------- Well, that's the tab to the song.

My version is nowhere near to perfection, so you'll have to play around with it to get a good feel for the song. The song is basically a jam, and I strongly suggest you listen to the song as you try to play it. ***STICK A CAPO ON THE 3RD FRET*** The song has two guitars (both with capos) in it, and that ambiant tremolo organ. One of the guitars is an acoustic, and the other is an electric. Use a delay with the electric, and set it to about .4 seconds delay time. These are the chords for the acoustic (in reference to the capo): G 32000x C x32010 - You could also play this as a G: 32001x G* 32003x F 133211 The whole song basically cycles thru the same chords on the acoustic. Here's the general pattern: C G* White flash in my own life C G Tell me of my own ... (repeat same pattern from here on) (note: strum these chords cnotinually) At about 1:22 into the song, when Bono sings "Don't talk to me...," the electric guitar enters with this little fill (only play it once): e------------------------ b-0-3---3-3-0-3---------- g-----0---------0-------- At about 1:55 into the song, the chords change to F, right after Bono sings "...And the king that howls has howled..." The chords then switch back to the C, G*, C, G progression at 2:05. At 2:45, the electric guitar enters again with a similar fill: e----------------------------------------------- b---8---8---8---8---8---8---10---8---8---8---8-- g-7---7---7---7---7---7---7----7---7---7---7---- At 3:17, the electric plays the following tab: e---------------------10--------10--------10---------10--10----- b-----8----------8---------8---------8---------8-------------8-- g---7---7---7-------7---------7---------7---------7------------- d-5-------5---5--------5---------------------------------------- e------------------------------------------------------ b-----5--------------5------5-------5-------5-------5-- g---5---5--7--5----5----5-7----5--7----5--7----5--7---- d-5--------------5------------------------------------- e-----------------------------10--------10--10-----10--10----10-- b---8--10----8---10--8---8--------8-------------8----------8----- g-7--------7---7-------7-------------7--------------------------- At 3:50 into the song, the acoustic chords again switch to an F For the electric at this part, play the following: *use tremolo bar over next part e---5-------5-- b---6-------6-- Let these chords ring while using tremolo bar g---5-------5-- d---7-------7-- The rest of the song basically goes back to the usual strumming on the acoustic. The electric guitar will add the little fills from above every now and then until the end of the song. There is one last chord that the electric guitar plays towards the end of the song, at 5:23: e--12-- b--13-- g--12-- d--14-- The electric will then continue back into the little fills again. That's the song, or my version at least. Corrections or suggestions are welcome. Good Luck! tabbed by mps133@psu.edu #### MLK# #### Music by U2 Lyrics by Bono Transcribed by Brandon Leniart This song really shows off Bono's vocal capabilities on their 4th album, where Bono truly masters his Bono Vox, his great voice. Since the song is just a vocal played over a G chord, I tried to tab out his vocal line. If you want it to sound a little different, you may want to bend on some notes to give it a bluesy sound, or play it through distortion to give it a Hendrix sound. Try to vibrate the notes a little to make it sound better. tune down 1/2 step G Sleep Sleep to- night 1------------------------------- 2------------------------------- 3---7/9\7------7/9-----7-------- 4-------------------------7h9--- 5------------------------------- 6------------------------------- And may your dreams be realized 1------------------------------------------ 2------------------------------------------ 3----7/9---7------------------------------- 4---------------7----7h9-----9p7\5-5------- 5------------------------------------------ 6------------------------------------------ If the thun- der cloud passes rain 1------------------------------------------ 2------------------------------------------ 3-----------7/9--9---7-----7/9-7----------- 4---5--5--------------------------7h9------ 5------------------------------------------ 6------------------------------------------ So let it rain, rain down on him 1------------------------------------------ 2------------------------------------------ 3---7/9--7--------------------------------- 4------------7--7h9-----9p7-----5--5------- 5------------------------------------------ 6------------------------------------------ Mmm m mmm So let it be 1------------------------------------------ 2------------------------------------------ 3--------------7/9--9---7------------------ 4---7/9\7\5----------------7h9------------- 5------------------------------------------ 6------------------------------------------ Mmm m mmm So let it be 1------------------------------------------ 2------------------------------------------ 3--------------7/9--9---7------------------- 4---7/9\7\5----------------7h9-------------- 5------------------------------------------ 6------------------------------------------ (repeat 1st verse) coda So let it rain, let it rain, rain on him 1--------------------------------------------- 2--------------------------------------------- 3---7/9--7------------------------------------ 4-----------7---7h9-----7h9---5------------5-- 5------------------------------------5--5----- 6--------------------------------------------- --Brandon Leniart
