In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better."

UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD (LIVE)


All chords are with respect to the CAPO on the 3RD FRET.

OPENING

E------------------------------------------------
B- x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---------------------
G- x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--------------------- repeat this until

E--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---------------------
*NOTE: the '2/-12-' part is a slide from the second fret to the 12th

Edge plays this with alot of overdrive and as far as I've heard it's only played using the PA

B-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-9--
G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-- Repeat this 4 times, then play

SOLO: A Very simple typical Edge type Solo. This one becomes very simple when you see the Edge play it on the Sau Paulo Popmart Bootleg Video. Note: I will only Tab the B string since it is all played on this string but where I mark XXX Strike the A + D strings open (with respect to the capo) and leave them to ring. The symbol / means gliss sharply and b means bend the string up to the note shown. h means hammer on


B--15--15--17--15--14--14h15--12--12--12 / 10 / 8 / 7 / 5 / 3--3h5-XXX-3-5--5b7--5--3-5


Repeat this again and then:


B--/8/6/7(Vibrato) (x2)


B--/7/8/7---5--3--3h5--XXX-- 3--5--5--XXX--3--5


B--/8/6/7(Vibrato)--/8/6/7(Vibrato)--7/10--10--


Again this is open to improvisation especially with the use of the A and D strings. Edge never plays it the same anyway so there is lots of room for manipulation, but remember the glisses must be fast and sharp to get the desired effect.


POST-SOLO:
After the solo, play the MAIN RIFF and the riff from Verse 2 again:

E-----------------------------------
B-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-9--
G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-- Repeat this 4 times, then play
D-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-- next part to lead into verse:
A-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7--7--7--
E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0--0--


E------------
B------------
G-9-9-7-7-5-5
D-x-x-x-x-x-x (mute the "D" string)
A-7-7-5-5-7-7
E------------


Play the next part twice:

E---------------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------------
G-4-4-...4-4-4-6-6/7-7-...7-9-9/11-11-11-9-9-9-7-9-9/11-11-11-9-9-7-9-
D-x-x-...x-x-x-x-x-x-x-...x-x-x--x--x--x-x-x-x-x-x-x--x--x--x-x-x-x-x-
A-2-2-...2-2-2-4-4/5-5-...5-7-7/-9--9--9-7-7-7-5-7-7/-9--9--9-7-7-5-7-
A---------------------------------------------------------------------

LAST VERSE:
The edge uses some Harmonics:

E----------------------------------------------
B------7------7----7---------------------------
G----7------7--------7---7------- Repeat Twice-
D--7------7------------7---7-------------------
A----------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------


Now return to the PRE-CHORUS RIFF:

E--------0---------------0-----------------0--------3------2----
B---3-----3---3-------0---0-----------------0--------3------3
G-----2-----2-------6-------6---------0------0--------2------2

G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--nine--9--9-9-- Repeat this 4 times, then play
D-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-9-- next part to lead into verse:
A-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7--7--7-7--
E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0--0-0--

E------------
B------------
G-7-7-5-5-4--
D-x-x-x-x-x-- (mute the "D" string)
A-5-5-3-3-2--
E------------

END SOLO
For the ending solo, you need to keep the low, open E going (or sustained)
while playing the solo. The solo is simply a variation of the power Em chord.

When Bono sings "La la la la...." and so on... play the following power chords:

E---------------------------------------------------------
B-9-9-9-109-9-9-10. -14-14-14-14-14-14-...7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
