Chords for the verse:
D-A-E-A-E
The little bit for "Red guitar on fire..." and "Fever when I'm beside her..." is a simple:
D-A
The whole song is pretty much D-A-E-A-E. Really simple
Yup, that's all.

acoustically and just on a rhythm basis, WOWY is fairly simple.
D, A, Bm, G
Another somewhat easy one is All I Want is You.
A, D for the verses
F#m, D for the prechorus, "all the promises you make from the cradle to the grave.."
A, D for the chorus, "when all I want is you"
A, D
really, if you break down a lot of U2 songs and take away the effects and just go to an acoustic rhythm, they're fairly simple, even a song like Where The Streets Have No Name, which is mostly D, Bm and G. What makes it so difficult is that Edge is not your basic rhythm guitarist. he uses a lot of staccato and tends to play within the chords note for note string for string instead of playing the usual coffee house rhythm..not to mention the heavy delays. what you'll find with his use of delay is that he plays to the delay. he doesn't just use delay to color what he's already written sans effect.
you should learn, in first position, as many of the chords as you can - you're within striking distance of the most commonly used chords in U2 songs -- you need to add A, Am, Bm, D, Dm, F and you'll have much covered.
once you get those down on the first position you'll be able to get down further the neck and play with the voicings Edge uses. Good luck!!
I would suggest going to a good local used bookstore- sometimes you can find U2 tab/chord books- I still have books for AB, JT, RandH and HTDAAB. The first chord book I ever got was for AB- I taught myself guitar with that book many moons ago.....

It's kind of interesting to compare Adam's bass playing from years ago to now- no more slapping the bass strings...when they played Gloria on the Vertigo tour, the little bass solo was replaced by a very simple, subdued note progression...although if you see video of some of the pre-360 gigs, Adam sure is getting into the songs!!!
Same thing with the Electric Co. Outro during the Vertigo tour. It wasn't as "aggressive" as it used to be. His style has changed for sure. Well, he looks much chillier these days
Not to steer this thread too far off track, but everything about Adam seems more relaxed these days, all green tea and seaside drives in France, but also very cool and self-assured. I'm glad I finally decided to buy a bass just before NLOTH came out. It's definitely Adam's album.
Okay, back on-topic: Party Girl's fairly easy, with Bm, Em, A...
Am i the only one who thinks Sunday Bloody Sunday is the best guitar riff of all time ?
Im having problems with Barre chords so im looking for a version without the old Bm
I get really pissed off when people say how easy AOH is. I know it is!!
But can i go smoothly from a C to an F? No!!!
