The only change is after the last chorus, where Adam just

taps the 'D' string for two measures, and then begins the

figure above again.



Method #2 (I like this one more!  This is the way Adam plays

it live.  To play along to a live recording, tune 1/2 step

flat. (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb)

E 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3\ ||   Slide back up to 10 and start over.

A ---------------- ||   Play this kinda loose.  Be really

D ---------------- ||   on top of the beat during the measures

G ---------------- ||   but 'cheat' a little on the slides.

                        Just groove it a little to make it

                        interesting.



Occasionally, Adam Clayton will play the final verse an

octave higer, in order to set up the thrilling final chorus

in the live rendition of the song.  To hear this, listen to

some shows form the 1987-89 Joshua Tree/Love Town tours.

The higer part goes a bit like this...
