Last Night On Earth

[Joshua87]

OK, why can't i find a tab for this anywhere???? if anyone has an idea how edge plays this, especially live, your reply would be awesome. its the one song i have pretty much no clue about....

try this link http://www.u2station.com/tablature/pop/lastnightonearth.txt

i'm not sure if it's perfect but most of it (at least) sounds right to me

 

[Joshua87]

Ya that gets the job done. thanks edge!

 

[OffAxis]

One suggestion I have to that riff is to hit the A on the E string rather than the open A string. I'm pretty sure that's how "the man" plays it live and it's easier to hit just the A and get that muted string sound too.

This all of course is in my very humble opinion!

A little bit late but did you use that one made by Jesper. If so
I would like to know if you liked it because I that is me

Slipping away, slip slide
The world turns and we get dizzy
Slipping away

You know she's going t opay it back somehow

She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep
