********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* "Staring at the Sun," Live, by U2 tabbed by matt, stewgift@aol.com (formerly mps133@psu.edu) The live version of "Staring at the Sun" has basically the same chords as the album version. I will note the differences, and provide Edge's little riff from the "Intransigence is all around..." verse. *NOTE: tune the guitars down 1/2 step; there are two guitars. -CHORDS- Am x02210 G 320033 F 133211 Em 022000 C9 x32013 (note that the bottom string is not open) Am7 x02213 D xx0232 C/B x20013 INTRO ----- Guitar 1 Chords: Am, G, F, Em Guitar 2 Tab: e--------------------------------------------- b--------------------------------------------- g-7/9-7-9-9~~--5-7-7/9-7-9-9-9/12-12-12~~----- d--------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------- b--------------------------------------------- g-5-7-7/9-7-9-9------------------------------- d---------------7-7-7---7-9-9^10^9-7-7-7-9-7-- VERSE ----- Both guitars - play chords (I may be off on the lyrics here) Am G F Summer stretchin' on the grass Em Summer dresses pass Am G F In the shade of a willow tree Em Creeps are crawling over me Am G F Em Over me and over you, stuck together with God's glue Am G It's gonna get stickier too F It's gonna be a long hot summer G Let's get under cover F G Don't try to hard to think, don't think at all CHORUS ------ C9 C/B Am7 You're not the only one staring at the sun D Afraid of what you'll find F If you step back inside C9 I'm not just deaf and dumb C/B Am7 I'm staring at the sun D I'm not the only one F Who's happy to go blind VERSE 2: same chords as VERSE 1 and INTRO. ------- BRIDGE RIFF (comes after second Chorus) ---------- For this part, first play the chords with both guitars: Am, D; Am, G; Am, G, D *note - you may want to add some sustained notes during this part, especially on the D's EDGE'S RIFF (which leads into "Intransigence...." verse). ----------- Play this for the entire VERSE 3. e----------------------------------------------------- b----------------------------------------------------- g----------------------------------------------------- d---7-5h7---7-5------------7-5h7---7-5---------------- Repeat pattern a-0-------0-----7-5-----0--------0------7-5------0---- e ------------------7^8----------------------7^8------ END OF SONG --- -- ---- For the end of the song, simply continue to play the chorus chords while Bono sings "Happy to go blind..." On the last "Happy to go, happy to go, happy to go....blind....," Play an F, and then an Am when he sings 'blind...' Then, for the "Oh, oh, oh, oh....", simply repeat back and forth between an Am and D chord. Listen to the song on the POPHEART CD to get this down. Good luck with it. -matt U2 "Staring At The Sun" Full TAB ======================================================================== Words by Bono and The Edge, Music by U2 >From the album POP Intro:

The 1st guitar plays the basic chords(Am,G,F,Em)while the 2nd plays this little solo: (which was played by Bono:I can't believe he learned how to play guitar!!) e- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - b- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - g- -9-7-9-9- - -9-7-9-9-12-12-12- - -9-7-9-9- - - - - - - - --- -- - - - d- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --7-9-10- -12-9-5- Try to get the rigth timing along with the 1st guitar,that should play the chords a little slower than the original version. Than the song goes on as the original version until the part "Intransigence is all around, military................" where one guitar is mute and the other plays this little riff : e- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - b- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. -- - - - - - - - g- - - - - - - -5-5- - - - - - - - --- -- - - --- - - - - - - d- -7-5-7- - - - - -7-5- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - a- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -7-5-7-0- - - - - - - - - - - - - This goes on until " I left you in the duty free.." where you play again as the original. This song is absolutely cool to hear live.
