Breathe

[TheClash253]

Someone in another thread asked for Breathe, so here's what I've worked out so far. Any help with the missing parts would be appreciated.


Breathe

Intro/Verse

e-------------------------------------------------------------------
b-------------------------------------------------------------------
g-------------------------------------------------------------------
d--12/7--7-7-7-7-7-7--7/9-9--7/9-9--7/9-9--7/9-7/9--
a--12/7--7-7-7-7-7-7--7/9-9--7/9-9--7/9-9--7/9-7/9--
E--10/5--5-5-5-5-5-5--5/7-7--5/7-7--5/7-7--5/7-5/7--

Repeat

Not sure about the pre-chorus or chorus notes or chords, but the riff at the end of the chorus (while Bono and Edge sing "Breatheeeeee") is

e--2-2-2-5-5-5-7-7-7-10-10-10-9-9-9-5-5-5-2-2-2-0-0-0--
b--------------------------------------------------------------------------
g--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repeat

After the second chorus and at end of song:

e--3-3-3-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0--1-1-1-3-3-3-1-1-1-0-0-0--
b----------------------------------------------------------------------
g----------------------------------------------------------------------

e--3-3-3-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0--1-1-1-0-0-0---------0-0-0----
b----------------------------------------------------3-3-3---------3--
g

Also not sure about the solo but it definitely involves this:

e--9h10h12--9h10h12--
b------------------------------
g------------------------------

 

[U2DMfan]

Basic root chords
pre-chorus
Gmaj-Dmaj-Emaj
chorus
Bmin-Gmaj-Dmaj-Emaj
Interlude (before breakdown & at end)
Dmaj*-Emaj-A#maj-Cmaj

*-Edge starts playing the G up high on the E string (which makes it sharp) but Adam is playing in Dmaj, so if you are banging it out on acoustic, you can play it basic like this.

Basic root chords
pre-chorus

Man can you write chords progression for verses?please write for whole song

thanks, i appreciate the help

 

[U2DMfan]

Man can you write chords progression for verses?please write for whole song

4 beats (1 of Dmaj then 3 of Amaj)

followed by

4 beats of (B5 -A5)
(hit the B5 on the 1, 2, 3, 4)

D---9-7-9-7-
A---9-7-9-7-
E---7-5-7-5-....and so on

listen to it for correct rhythm pattern, I suck at typing out exact tabs but I am pretty good at picking out chords.

I'm using this video to try figuring it out. It has some nice closeups of Edge's hands on the fretboard, esp during chorus and solo.

[TheClash253]

pre-chorus riff (x2)

e---------------------------------------------------------------------
b------10-----10-----10-----10------9------9-----10-----9---
g--12-----12-----11-----11-----11----11----11-----11------

chorus riff (x3)

e--------10-------10-------10-------10-------10-------10-------10-------10--
b-----10-------10-------10-------10-------10-------10-------12-------12-----
g--11-------11-------12-------12-------11-------11-------11-------11--------

main riff (x2)

e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g--11-11-11--14-14-14--16-16-16--19-19-19--18-18-18--14-14-14--11-11-11--9-9-9--

 

[Lazlow]

['RoomOnFire]

My take on the main riff, or at least how Edge plays it live...

e|---2-0-----------------------------
B|---3-2-----------------------------
G|---2-2---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
D|---0-2---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
A|-----0---2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2---
E|-----------------------------------

B|---3-2-----------------------------
G|---2-2---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
D|---0-2---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
A|-----0---2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2---
E|-----------------------------------

That's exactly how I played it the first time I listened to the song.

I don't know that it's right or wrong, but that's an easy way to play it.

 

['RoomOnFire]

Edge's hand does seem to be round about there in the live version, and it sounds decent enough.

 

[theedgeu2]

Don't know if this was tabbed above, I haven't taken the time to go over it yet. Here's what I got before the solo:

e
B
G 12-12-12-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-12-12-12-10-10-10-9-9-9
D
A
E
and
e
B
G
D 12-12-12-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-9-9-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-7
A
E

Hope it helps any.

 

[phillyfan26]

Does anyone have the "these days" part tabbed out? I think I have everything else figured out.

 

[theedgeu2]

e
B
G
D 12-12-12-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-9-9-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-7
A
E

Sorry, this part is supposed to be played on the G string.

this is what i came up with:

e-----------------------------------
b-----7---5--7----7---5--7-----
g--4---4--------4---4-----------

e|---2-0-----------------------------
B|---3-2-----------------------------
G|---2-2---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
D|---0-2---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
A|-----0---2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2-0-2-2---
E|-----------------------------------

I play it this way as well. This tab has to be right.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

it's really easy.
I didnt look at everything everyone posted but don't bother figuring it out.
it's on Ultimate-guitar.com
& it's correct
the main riff is D-A-A-B-B-A-B-B-A-B-B
