 Walk to the Water by U2 -B-side for With or Without You

  Well this is one of my favourite

  U2 tracks and seeing that there was no transcription to it on the archive

  and that I'm on holidays, I decided to tab it. I hope somebody uses it

  because it took me ages to tab out mainly because (as I eventually

  discovered), the guitar in the song is tuned up a bit, not a whole 1/2 step

  but more like a 1/4 step. This is unusual for U2 as they usually use

  standard tuning or tune down to Eb. Anyway, here it is.

  

          The chords for the verses seem to be C and Am. The best way to play the

  song, in my opinion, is to bar the fifth fret and play the chords in

  arpeggio fashion. To give you an idea of what I mean, here is some tab-

  

         C

  G------------------------------------5----------------------------   This should

  D---5----------7---------7-----------------------7--------5-------   give you 

  A------------------------------------------------------------------ the general

  Bridge- This is goes something like-

  So that's it. The bit at the end isn't 100% perfect but sounds OK and it

  should give you enough to figure out something that you think sounds good.
