Member Name: the edge Real Name: Alan Kells E-mail: akdookie@hotmail.com **INTRO** D5 - x577xx At the beginning of the song The Edge plays a D5 chord that he modifies with his DigiTech "Whammy". So he can create this special sound. If you haven't got a "Whammy" you can create a similar sound with a small trick. Play the Ab and the Db string together and repeat this 2 times, then play the Gb string and the other 2 strings alternately. So, that's it, not very difficult. ** FIGURE 1 ** a b c d eb-------|----------------------|---------|--------------|- Bb----7p-|-------------------7p-|---------|----------7p--|- Gb-------|-------5--4-----------|-------5-|-4-----0------|- Db--0----|-5--7--------7--0-----|-5--7----|----7---------|- Ab-------|----------------------|---------|--------------|- Eb-------|----------------------|---------|--------------|- e f eb-----------------------|--------------|- Bb--------------------7p-|--------------|- P = pull string and bend the Gb--------5--4-----------|--------5--4--|- note a half step up and Db--5--7--------7--0-----|--5--7--------|- down Ab-----------------------|--------------|- Eb-----------------------|--------------|- ** FIGURE 2 ** a b c d eb--8-----|---12----|-----3------|--------------------|- Bb--8-----|---12----|-----3------|-----7p-------------|- Gb--------|---------|------------|--------------5--4--|- Db--------|---------|------------|--0-----5--7--------|- Ab--------|---------|------------|--------------------|- Eb--8-----|---12----|-----3------|--------------------|- ** FIGURE 3 ** D5 eb--------------------|-------- Bb--------------------|-------- Gb--------------------|--7----- Db--14--12--10--9--7--|--7----- Ab--12--19---8--7--5--|--5----- Eb--------------------|-------- ** Solo (use bottleneck) ** Solo part I eb--------------------------------------------------------------------> Bb--------------------------------------------------------------------> Gb-0--2--7--5--7--11--9--7--5--2--0--2--7--10--12--10--7--10--12--14--> Db--------------------------------------------------------------------> Ab--------------------------------------------------------------------> Eb--------------------------------------------------------------------> Solo part II (repeat the last two notes several times) eb--13--10--15--13--12--10-|----------------------------------------------- Bb----------------------10-|----------------------------------------------- Gb-------------------------|--7--12--10--9--10--12--10--9--10--9--7--5--7-- Db-------------------------|----------------------------------------------- Ab-------------------------|----------------------------------------------- Eb-------------------------|----------------------------------------------- VERSE 1:
