Does anyone have a tab for BONO's PART for The Fly, specifically ZooTV? I have what I think is correct, but if there's an another I'd like to see.
 
only chords:
A(2X)-D-E i believe,maybe in different order
chorus
C#m-E-A(2X)
solo
2X A-D-E part
once chorus part
 
How do you do that? (rookie :reject: )

Essentially, could you just tab how you play it?

It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say(A) the sun (D) is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know(E) I don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child

C#m E
(Love, we shine like a
A
Burning star
We're fallin' from
C#m E A
The sky... tonight)
-->in the moment when high voice sings "the sky",the low voice comes in with "A men will beg a men will crawl
from the sheer face of love like the fly on the wall")

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret that ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal Every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

Solo: B E-A-D-E-B-C#m-E-A

(Love, we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from
The sky... tonight)
-->again the same thing

It's no secret at all

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cosa one man's lie
Look I gotta go, yeah I'm running out of change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange


E - 022100
A - x02220 or 577655
D - xx0232 or x57775
C#m - x46654 or 988799
B - x24442 or 799877
(first number low e string,last number high e string)

Thanks for the help, if I have any more questions upon trying to play it, I'll re post here.
 
Well I can hear it clearly on ZooTV, he's playing something constantly.

He's definitely screwing around on the outro if you watch, but on the intro, I can hear his sound.
 
it's either this:
e----------------
b----------------
g--9-9-9-9--7-
d--9-9-9-9--7-
a--7-7-7-7--5-
e----------------
listen for the timing(maybe a step down)

or he puts on delay/echo effect on and plays little of intro
