COBL chords

[sligo U2 fan]

anyone figured out the chords for this gem???

 

[Zooman91]

Hmm... I guess a G#, a D#, and C# for the verse.

B and C# for the part before the chorus.

D# and C# alternating for the chorus, followed by the G# after the chorus.

 

[sligo U2 fan]

yeah i play with a capo on the 1st fret with G D C etc.sounds alright,very hard to get good sound for that song on an acoustic!

 

[tabmanmatt]

The song is probably in half-step tuning

 

[Joshua87]

knowing the edge, its probably A E D tuned down a half-step.

 

[quadcaster]

i dont think its tuned down, every other song from the new album is standard tuning when played live.... and sound no different tuning wise to the album versions

Verses:

A / Bm / D / D E / 4x

Pre-chorus:

Cadd9 / Cadd9 / Dsus2 / Dsus2 / 2x

Chorus:

E F#m / G#m A / D E / F#m D / 3x

A / A Bm / D / D / 2x

Bridge:

B and then the chords from the chorus.


For the chorus its easier to play the simple riff on the 10th and 12th fret.

 

[Theedge070]

So the muted chops that he's playing during the opening/verses are full chords?

 

[patrickU217]

Actually not, Edge plays a riff of single notes in 10th/12th position, but if you want to play chords along with the melody, those are the chords.

 

[sligo U2 fan]

They dont seem to work,all the chords are sharps(?)

 

[patrickU217]

Playing along with the record i guess its a semitone down.

 

[Theedge070]

Wait, so those muted chops are around the 10th to 12th fret? Does anybody know exactly where they are? Anyone know of a tab with that stuff?

 

[patrickU217]

Fot the intro play
e (12, 1st string)
a (10, 2nd string)

(8th notes, 6 bars)

2nd string, 10th fret:

a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a / a-g#-g#-g#-g#-b-b-g# /

a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a / a-a-e-a-e-a-e-a /

a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a / a-g#-g#-g#-g#-b-b-g# /

a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a / a-a-e-a-a-a-a-e-a /


Then you get the slide part, starting from 15th fret 2nd string:

d----c#-----a-b-d---c#---a---a-b-d---c#------b-----f#


Hope this will help.

 

[Theedge070]

Awesome, thanks! You don't know how long I've been trying to figure that out.
