For anyone who's interested, I tabbed out the Elevation tour live version of "In a Little While". After analysing the Boston DVD, I'm sure that this is as close to perfect as a tab for any song could get. As most people know, Edge re-works the song for one guitar for the tour version (most notably changing the riff). Anyway, here it is:

Riff:

e----------------------------------------------------3----------------------------
B---------5------------6------------8-----------------3------------7-----8-7--
G-----------6------------5------------8-----3s4--------4-----------7---7-7--
D--5s7-------7--7s8-----8--8s9------9-------------------5s7------7--------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The riff ends with bar chords on the fifth fret: A-D-A

Keep playing that riff until the lyrics change to the first "Oh-oooh-oh-oooohhh part". Then strum the bar chords Bm-G-D-A as follows (for the strumming pattern, watch the DVD or listen to a recording from the Elevation tour):

e--7---3-3-3---3-3-5---3-----------------------------------
B--7---3-3-3---5-6-5---3-----------------------
G--7---4-5-4---5-5-5---4-----------------
D--9---5-5-5---5-5-5---5------------------------------------------------
A--9---5-5-5---3-3-3---5------------------------------------------------
E--7---3-3-3-------------3-----------------------------------------------

For the second verse, go back to the riff. Then go back to the chords for the second "ooohh-ooh-ooohh" bit. Then, the chords change slightly for the next part:

Bm G
A man dreams one day to fly
A D
A man takes a rocket ship
A D
Into the sky.
Bm G
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
A D
And follows on the trail
A D
The scatter of light.

Then it's briefly back to the riff again for the "you turn me on" part. And then back again for the main chords for more "ooh"-ing. Then it's finally back to the modified chords for the ending:

Bm G
Slow down my beating heart,
A D A D
Slowly love, slowly love.
Bm G
Slow down my beating heart,
A D A D
Slowly love, slowly love.


Enjoy! Hopefully someone will get fun out of playing the live version of this great track!
 
can't play... but thanks anyway!
I'll keep this for the day I'll decide I must play guitar!
 
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

The chords for the verse are: A, F#m, Bm, G, D-A
I think you'll find all the chords for the other parts of the song in the tab. Hope that's of help.
