A Sort of Homecoming (live)

Transcribed by Richard Zangoli(rzangoli@magna.com.au)
This is a transcription of the live version of the song that appears on the
Wide Awake in America CD and on the Unforgettable Fire video. Most of
the song involves playing chords arpeggio, so this leaves a lot of room
to ad lib, but I think my transcription is reasonably close to the money.
As always with U2 live versions, tune down 1/2 a step.

Intro riff-

E------------0---------------0-----------0---
B-------3---------------3-------------------
G---4--------------4--------------4-----------


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

Play the intro riff over and over again for the first verse and
then when Bono starts to sing "ohhh, ohhhh, on borderland..."
play Riff 2 (involves some finger stretching!)


Riff 2-

E-------------3-----------3------------5(hold)-----7p5---
B--------3---------------------3-------------------------
G---0----------------0------------------------------------


E-----------5---------
B-----------------3--- This is played twice.
G---0-----------------


The next riff that is played I will call Riff 3.

Riff 3-

E----------------10----------------10-------------10--
B----------7-----------------7------------------------
G-----7-----------------7------------------7-----------


E--------------10-------------------10------------10--
B--------8-------------------8------------------------
G---7------------------7--------------------7---------
This is also played twice.


Riff 2 and Riff 3 are then played again.

Then for the next verse Edge strums the intro chords
loudly, letting then ring. That is G(?) (XX0430) and Dsus2
(XX0320). Listen to the song for when and how they are played.

After this there isn't really anything new, except for a
Cmaj7 (X3545X) that is played a couple of times when Bono
sings "I'll be there tonight....".

For the ending, play the intro riff and then at the very end
ad lib with it.
