I've looked all over the place for a decent "Gloria" tab, but they're all basically the same thing and, for the most part, incomplete.

Does anyone have a good tab? It would be much appreciated.
 
Intro Riff-
E----------0-----------0--8--------------------0-----------------------
B-------6-----------6--------6--------------0--------0-----------------
G----7-----------7-------------7----------6---------------6------------
D-7-----------7------------------7------7---------------------7-------
A--------------------------------------7---------------------------7 ---
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------

E----------------------0--------
B------------------0------0-----
G-------------6----------------
D-------7----------------------
A---7---------------------------
E-------------------------------

The main riff- release the bend here
E-0---0---0--10--12----0---0--10--12-----12--10---14b---12--0--10--0--9--0
B-10-12----------------10--12----------10---------------------------------------

(Release the bend here as well) And I try to
sing.......
E---9b---------------------10--9--0-----------------------3----0
B---------10--0--12--0----------------10--0--12-----------3----0
G---------------------------------------------------------4----4
D---------------------------------------------------------5----5
A---------------------------------------------------------5----5
E---------------------------------------------------------3----3

The main riff varies slightly in the verses but the above should give you
the general idea.
Now for the harmonics over the chorus. Fool around with them (Edge always
changes the way he plays the chorus of the song) but this will give you the
general idea. Remember that all of the note are natural harmonics.

E--------------------
B--------------------
G---------------5---- Edge changes the ending the second time around so
D-----------5------- play around with it until you get something that you
A-------5------------ think is close
E---5-----------------

Now for the slide guitar solo. I actually prefer sliding from fret to fret
without a slide because it's easier, but either way will do. This is going
to be hard to tab out on computer so bare with me. It should at least tell
you what notes to play, so have a listen to the CD to get the timing right.
I wont note all the slides as of course most of them will be.

There's lots of feedback here slide down and up the fretboard

And finally, the guitar after the bass solo-
let the delay repeat
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repeat this many times but be careful of the timing as Edge tends to change
it towards the end. I think this is how he finishes-

Good tab but unforunately the way it has been formatted has messed it up a bit. Any chance you could edit and clean it up? Because it's a great tab and I'd love to get it off, thanks!

listen for the timing

The ending is different second time so try to find it out yourself, i can't help you with it.
