[LemonMelon]

Could someone please tab out the intro to the Fly from the Boston DVD for me?

Thanks.

The Fly- Elevation Boston (Tabbed by DiscothequeLP)

As opposed to the album and ZooTV versions, the Elevation version of The Fly is in A, not E
Set your delay pedal to 420-430 (I think)

Intro: For the intro, use a clean tone and some phaser, sounds pretty good

Now turn on that Tubescreamer!

Repeat this whole section (slide into the main riff when you do it the second time), then go to the chorus


Chorus: I've heard Edge play the intro riff for the chorus, but in Boston he strums the chords

    Gbm     A                 D
E---9-------5-------------------------------------------------|

Then, after Bono sings, "It's no secret at all," Edge turns on some pedal 
(Some sort of overdrive or something, i'm not sure) and plays

(slide this late, the go into the big A again for the second time)

      Am        ^
E-----12--------\-----|
B-----13--------\-----|
G-----14--------\-----| (Make sure you play it loud and let it ring!) 2x
D---------------------|
A-0-------------------|
E---------------------|


Playing with the tremolo wouldn't hurt here either:P



After the first chorus, play the verse again (with the "slide" from the 12) 
and the chorus again. After the chorus, play the pre-solo.


Pre-Solo:


  Em (5 times but fast)
E-0--------------------\------|
B-0--------------------\------|
G-0--------------------\------|  3x
D-2--------------------\------|
A-2--------------------\------|
E-0--------------------\------|



then the 4th time play
   Em (5 times but fast)
E--12--------------------|
B--12--------------------|
G--12--------------------|Here, he plays the 12 on the high E string really loud
D--14--------------------|
A--14--------------------|
E--12--------------------|


Then comes the fun part ;)

Solo:

* = let ring

I'll just tab the top 3 strings

            (slide down then up)
