I can't make out if the last chorus changes, but just play the above chorus tab 8x and it's fine.

the last miracle drug that bono sings is a Bm i believe... it's also the first Bm of the beginning of the verse after the first chorus. it goes Bm, G, D, A, Bm, G and then the second verse starts on D (D, A, Bm, G x2) ... hmm, maybe i'll type out the chords (and maybe this has already been done)

D, A, Bm, G x2 (intro)
D, A, Bm, G x4 (first verse)
G, A, D, Em (pre chorus)
G, A, D, Em, G, A (first chorus)
Bm, G, D, A, Bm, G (before verse 2)
D, A, Bm, G x3 (second verse)
G, A, D, Em (pre chorus)
G, A, D, Em, G, A, D, Em, G, A (second chorus)
Bm, Bm, Bm, Bm (transition)
Bm, A, G, G x3 (bridge/solo)
G, A, D, Em x2 (solo 2 -- before edge)
G, A, D, Em, G, A, Bm, E (edge verse)
G, A, D, Em, G, A, Bm, E, G, A, Bm, E, G, A, Bm, E, Bm (last chorus/outro)

*** i'm pretty sure it goes to E major at the end ... starting from the last chord of edge's verse ... but since they aren't playing full chords i can't tell.

does this sound right to you guys?
 
OK guys, im done fixing my tab. I tabbed out that part betweeen the first chorus and the second verse, and i fixed the tab at the part were Edge sings.

excellent job fella.

even spunds quite good on an acoustic, ignoring the chorded part!!

Dont suppose you know what guitar it is played on? Is it an explorer?

I have an SG and a strat, so just wonder what will give the best realism to the song?
 
It would sound increadible on a Strat. I'm not sure, but he's probably playing his Gibson Les Paul...?
