U2 – Whos Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses tab

Band :  U2
Song:  Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Tuning:  EADGBE
Tabbed by:  Jeff Martin

Haven't seen a good (any?) tabs on this song yet, so I'll give it a go.  Here is my interpretation...

Opening:

Listen to the song for timing on each of these chords.

0:06|----------------||-0-0-0-0-0-1----||-x-x-x-x-x-0----||-0-0-0-0-0-2----||-2-2-2-2-2-3----||-3-3-3-3-3-x----|
Verse 1
0:31|------0-0-0-----------------------------------2-2-2-2-2---------------||---1--1-1-1-----------------------------------3-3-3-3-3---------------||---0--0-0-0---0---------------0---0-----------2-2-2-2-2---------------||-0-2--------0-2--------2-2-2--------2---------------------------------||-2-3--------2-3--0-0-0-3-3-3----0---3-2--0--------------3-3-3-2-0-----||-3----------3----3-3-3----------3-------3---3-------------------------|
Verse 1 (second part) Listen close, Edge or a 2nd guitar is playing variations of this riff behind the G and C chords. Pick up the rythym of the open G and C chords from the song...
1:08 G/////////////////////C//////////////////////|------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------| X4|-0-9--9-9-9-7-9-7-0-10--10-10-10-9-7-0-6--------||------------------------------------------------|
Pre-Chorus Use open Chords D////C////D////C Chorus: Guitar 2: G/////D/////C... Edge sound like he's playing:
****(the Zero = the 10th fret)*****1:44|-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--7-8-8-8-8--7-8-8-8-8-----||-7-8-8-8-8--7-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8-8-----||-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-----| X4|------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------|
Verse 2 = second part of verse 1 (above) Chorus 2 = same G-A-D for Guitar 1 Edge: **** 0=10th fret, 2=12th fret, 3=13th fret, 5=15th fret (better tab spacing I guess)**** It's all happening on the 7th and 12th frets...
2:49|-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--------||-7-8-8-8-8--7-8-8-8-8--2-3-3-3-3--2-3-3-3-3--------||-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--------| X4|----------------------------------------------| |--||---------------------------------------------------|
Bridge
3:18|------------------------||-----5-----3------------||----5-----4-----5-------||---5-----5--------5--7--| X2|--------------5---------||-5-----0----------------|
Finish the bridge with this, watch the volume, this part starts faint and picks up as chorus comes back in...
3:47ish|-10-||-8--||-7--||-7--||----||----|
Back to chorus riffs... etc That's about it. All the parts are here! Seems pretty close. Other tabs seem to have the chord correct. Enjoy JM
