A few other things aren't quite right in that tab, but it can be fudged.
 
this one is acoustic and it's really good IMO
ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/u/u2/sometimes_you_cant_make_it_on_your_own_acoustic_crd.htm
 
I think that those acoustic tabs I posted are quite good for that version, but y'know -- they've got 2 guitars when they played it ;)
 
Well I looked at your tabs, and I've (attempted) tabbing the couch mix, and i'm just interested in edges part, and it looks nothing like it. hm.
 
yes i know... but it's fine for me - it reminds me the original more than Acoustic Couch
If you tab the Couch mix, I would be first in line to play it :D
 
Hahah the couch mix...it looks like he plays chords I can actually play without cramping my hand up, thats why I want it....meh, it's spring break, I'll see if I can work on it. Or if I find it somewhere else, I'll post it here.
