I've got the main riff down, but what is Edge playing during the first verse? Is he playing the chords one string at a time or something because I can't find any source that describes how he plays it.

(Note: Talking Live, Best Example Live From Milan)
 
very easy stuff, its just the chords in different pattern, i think something like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------2----------2---------------3--------3------------------------------
------------2------2-----------------2--------2--------------------------
----------------------------0--------------------------------------------
-0---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

sometimes for the last part i play:

-----------------0-----------------------------------
--------3-------------3-------------------------------
-------------2--------------2-------------------------
---0-------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

then for "all the promises...." je just plays the chords in normal one string at a time. first upper three, then starting from lower...


for the 2nd verse, it starts like the 1st...but after the first bit he goes into simple

----5--------5-------5----------5------------------------
--------5--------5-------5--------------5---------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------


just play around with it a bit, youll get the hang of it. and sorry i suck in tabbing so much :D

Code:
All I Want is You -- Live from Argentina 3/2/2006 (Tabbed by DiscothequeLP)


Set the delay at around 430. Remember to let the delay play. 


Chords:
A: x 0 2 2 2 0
A*: x x x 14 14 12
Asus/D: x x 0 2 3 0 
D: x x 0 2 3 2
D*: x x x 14 15 14
F#m: 2 4 4 2 2 2 



Intro\Verse:

   A                       D
e|------------------------------------------------|
b|-------2--------2--------------3--------3-------|
g|----2--------2--------2-----2--------2-------2--|
d|-------------------------0--------0--------0----|
a|-0--------0--------0----------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

You say                You want



Repeat that a few times, then go to this:


Pre-Chorus:

   F#m
e|----------2----------------------2----------|
b|----------------2-------------3--------3----|
g|-------2-----------2-------2--------------2-| 2x
d|----4-------------------0-----------0-------| 
a|--------------------------------------------|
E|-2-----------2------------------------------|

All the promises      We make. . . 


   A                      Asus/D
e|-------------------------------------0----------|
b|-------2--------2--------------3--------3-------|
g|----2--------2--------2-----2-----------------2-|
d|-------------------------0--------0--------0----|
a|-0--------0--------0----------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

When all             I want                Is You



Then comes the main riff



Main Riff:
 
e|-0-0-0-0--0-0-0---2--2--0--0---2--|
b|-2-2-0-2--0-2-0---3--3--3--3---3--|
g|-2-2-2-2--2-2-2---2--2--2--2---2--| 2x
d|-2-2-2-2--2-2-2---0--0--0--0---0--|
a|-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-------------------|
E|----------------------------------|

To get this to sound right you have to let the delay ring out.



2nd Verse:

Edge plays something like this


e|----------------------------------------------------|
b|----10-------10-------10------10-------10-------10--|
g|--------9--------9----------------9--------9--------|
d|---------------------------0------------------------|
a|-0--------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

Repeat a few times then go to the Pre-Chorus and Chorus



After the 2nd chorus, Edge hits a big open A chord, then does this very loose riff:


Verse 3:

e|------0-------0-------0-------------0--------0-------0-|
b|--10-----10------10-----------8---------8--------8-----|
g|-------------------------------------------------------|
d|-------------------------------------------------------|
a|-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|


Then the Pre-Chorus and Chorus again, then the solo:


Solo:

Edge starts by strumming A* and D* chords, then goes into this riff (I'll only tab the top 2 strings)

e|-17----17----17----17----17----17---------17----17----17----17-----17----|
b|----14----14----14----14----14-----14/15-----15----15----15----15-----15-|  2x

e|-------17----17----17----17----17----17---17----17----17-----
b|-15/17----17----17----17----17----17---17----17----17----17--

e|-17-17-17-17--17-17-17-17-17--17-17-17-17-17---20-20-20-20--20-20-20-20-20--20-20-20-20-20--
b|-17-17-17-17--17-17-17-17-17--17-17-17-17-17---17-17-17-17--17-17-17-17-17--17-17-17-17-17--



Then some big open A and Asus/D chords, and the A* and D* chords again, and Edge plays the Verse 3 riff for the outro.
