Running to stand still intro

[mkdominatr]

anyone know of a good tab?

 

[thedukeorsino]

The whole song is D maj to G maj. The intro moves up the B string, then puts a D suspension on and moves into D.

The song is just.

D ascending
So she woke up....

G to G add the 7th
from where she was....

D
Said I gotta do somethin'

G
We're going...

Chorus is:

A
A, lalala,

G
Lady day...

A
Ah lala

G
lady day..

D

and so on.

Sorry, I can't really tab, but this is the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar (though that was only a few months ago). I suppose it is fitting that my first post here on these forums is in regards to this song.

Edge improves on the riff a bit in the concert but this is basically it.
At the end of song I like to just jam on the D and G 10th (and 12th fret A)
fret bar-chords avoiding the bass strings.

Tuned down 1 semi-tone (half-step)
