Hi!
Has anyone got the correct tab (not just the chords) for WITS? I'm looking for the delay settings as well, so if anyone could help....please?
 
I'd like to have the correct chords, as i found a couple of different versions...

my email: fuhuchs@googlemail.com

I have the solo and i'm still looking for that intro riff.

Thx
 
I got it in the U218 Tab book, but right after it came out The_Edge89 made a tab, which is very accurate...
it should be on u2station.com

Here is my tabulature, unfortunately I don't have any exact delay times as my multieffect only has tap-delay.

Tabs based on KROQ and Radio Hamburg mp3's

STANDARD TUNING
-------------------------------------------------
The Edge obviously uses his beautiful Rickenbacker 360/12 on this one, but this is 
for all of you (including me) that are limited to a regular six-string guitar.

Intro (with delay):
e|-10--10--10--10\12--12--12--12/10--10--10--10---10-------10-------
B|---12--12--12\----13--13--13--/--12--12--12---------10-------10--- x2
G|--------------------------------------------------12--12---12--12-

Verse riff #1(no delay): play 12 of each note and then slide down to the next one
E|-15-/11-/12-/8-

The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat thats in the sun
Will keep us when there's none

Verse riff #2(with delay):
e|--10-------
B|------10--- repeat as necessary
G|-12-12---12

The rule has been disproved
The stone has been moved
The Grain is now a groove

Verse riff #2(with delay):
All debts are removed, ooh
G|-0-7-5-4-0--7-5-4-----

Chorus: Two guitars, one plays chords.
EDGE (with delay):
e|-----15----15----14----14----17----17----17----17--
B|---15----15----15----15----17----17----17----17---- play this three times
G|-14----14----14----14----17----17--17----17------

 then end the third round with the D chord after the C
e|-------17-----14--
B|----17------15----
G|-17-------14------

Meanwhile the second guitar plays these chords:

              G        D            C
Oh can't you see what our love has done
              G        D            C
Oh can't you see what our love has done
              G        D            C
Oh can't you see what our love has done
                  D
What its doing to me

Verse 2:
(Repeat the Verse parts again)
Love makes strange enemies
Makes love of what may well please
Soul in a strip tease
Hate brought to its knees
Sky over our head
Can reach it from our bed
If you let me in your heart
And out of my head

Chorus 2:
(Repeat the Chorus parts again)
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
What its doing to me

Bridge (with delay):
e|------2---------------------
B|---2-----2----4----4h5p4----
G|-----------------4---------- repeat once
D|-----------4---4---4--------
A|-4--4--4--------------------
E|-

F#m         B
Oh oh oh hhhhhhhhhhh
F#m         B
Oh oh oh hhhhhhhhhhh
C                                G
Please don't ever let me out of here!

Solo (with delay):

A|--0-2\10/8-7-5-3\7(bend8)5-3-2\5-3-2- repeat one 
E|-3-----------------------------------  more time

I've got no shaaaaaaammme.. oh no, oh no!

Play Chorus parts for a while:
(Quietly)
Oh can't you see what love has done
Oh can't you see what love has done
Oh can't you see what love has done
What its doing to me

(Louder)
Oh I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder but you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
Oh can't you see what love has done
(to every broken heart)
Oh can't you see what love has done
(for every heart that cries)
love left a window in the skies
and to love I rhapsodize
Oh can't you see

(keep playing the intro part until end)

And here are version with just the chords.

(keep playing G  until end)

I hope either one of those worked out well for you, fuhuchs.
Just want to point out the the chords are not all correct during the verses though.
 
All the tabs I've seen are wrong for the Chorus Chords...It should Be:

G D A
Oh can't you see what love has done
G D A
Oh can't you see what love has done
G D C
Oh can't you see what love has done
E D
What its doing to me

or something thereabouts :wink:
