Bullet the Blue Sky

                          Slide this up the fretboard  
E-----------------------------------------  
B----9(hold)-------12s/------------12s/---  
G------------------12s/------------12s/---  etc... and then play an open big  
D------------------12s/------------12s/---    E string  
A--------------------  --------------------  
  
When Bono sings "driving nails into the.." hold the note on the 9th fret,  
second string, as in the very beginning.  
After Bono sings "the red orange glow" Edge plays some mute strings.  
This is the Chorus riff-  
  
E-------------------------------------------  
B----7--7------------------------------------  
G----7--7----------------------------------- play this a few times and play  
this   
D----7--7------------------------------------  to finish off-  
A--------------7----5--5--5-----5--7--5--7--  
E---------------------------------------------  
  
E--------------------------------------  
B----7--7------------------------------  
G----7--7------------------------------  
D----7--7------------------------------  
A-------------7----5--5--5----5h7-----  
E----------------------------------------  
After Bono sings "rattle and hum", play this (the notes are to be bent  
together)-  
E-------------  
B-----5b----  
G-----4b----  
D------------  
A------------  
E-------------  
After Bono sings "the angel was overcome", scape the edge (no pun intended)  
of your pick all the way up the big E string.  
When Bono sings "you plant a demon seed" play this(slide this all the way up  
the   
fretboard)-  
E---------------  
B------20s/----  
G------21s/----  
D---------------  
A---------------  
E----------------  
After the Chorus play some 12th fret harmonics on first the big E and then  
the A string and then play this (which is similar to the intro)-  
E--------------------------  
B----12s/---12s/---12s/---  
G----12s/---12s/---12s/---  
D----12s/---12s/---12s/---  
A---------------------------  
E----------------------------  
And then comes the solo. I prefer to play it without the slide so that's the  
way that I'll tab it. If you want to play it with the slide, then you'll  
have to play it further down the fretboard starting at the 12th fret.

B-----------7---7--------------7---7s/9s/7-----  
G-----------7---7--------------7---7s/9s/7----- play this last bit twice and  
end   
D------------------------------------------------with hitting the big E string   
A------------------------------------------------  
E----0-------------------0-----------------------  
  
Edge then plays around with the tremolo bar (which I don't have because Les  
Pauls generally ain't got them) and then he plays (I think)-  
  
   Bend this note and then gradually release it  
E------------------  
B--------9b-------
