  Zooropa
  
  Music by U2 
  Lyrics by Bono
  Transcribed by Brandon Leniart 
  
  Tune down 1/2 step.  The beginning piano chords are Gm and Em.  You can play 
  the power chords in the major and minors if you want, but I like to play 
  major/minor chords when the song speeds up to make it sound more 
  interesting--I hope my tabs are readable. For the most part it's in E major.

  Don't worry baby, it'll be alright

  Skip the subway, let's go to the overground

  Take your head out of the mud, baby, put flowers in the mud, baby, overground
  No particular place names, no particular song
  I've been hiding...what am I hiding from?
  Don't worry baby, it'll be alright
  Uncertainy can be a guiding light
  I hear voices, rediculous voices, in the slipstream
                     F#m                                             E
  Let's go, let's go overground, take your head out of the mud baby
                 F#m      
  She's going to dream up the world she wants to live in

  She's gonna dream out loud, dream out loud

  Zooropa by U2(additions)
  
  
  Transcribed by Richard Zangoli.
  Well I just got myself a wah-wah and got very excited when I played this
  song. I don't know exactly what effect Edge uses but you can get close to it
  if you use a delay pedal(I set mine at around 400ms) and constantly keep
  peddling a wah-wah. I used the transcription on the Net for some guidance
  these are some additional suggestions. Note that the tab here (as in the
  previous transcription) is half a step (one note) lower than the 
  CD version. It makes playing open chords for the second half of the song
  possible and thus simplifies things a little.
  
  Intro Riff-
  
  E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  B------------------------10-10-10-10---------------------------------   play  
  G------x-x-7-7-7-7------------------------x-x-7-7-7-7----------------    this a
  D---------------------------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-couple
                                                                              of 
  It then goes to (something like)-                                          times
  E------------------------                  E------------------------------
  B---13--12---10h12p10--10--8h10-10  x2     B--8--7---5h7p5--5---3h-5--5- X2
  G-------------------------------           G-----------------------------
  D-------------------------------           D---------------------------- 
  
  You might want to play around with this ^ a bit until you get something that
  you think might be closer to the CD or sound better. But I think that the
  above is reasonably close. 
  
  The chords given in the previous transcription for the intro verses (ie D D
  Em C Em C) sound right but you might want to play the bar chords at the 5th,
  7th and 8th frets as they seems to sound closer to the CD. Play the chords a
  couple of times each but make sure to let the delay do most of the work.
  The chords for the second half of the song (D D4 D D9, Em C) also sound good
  but on the CD there is also a guitar that goes something like-
  E------------10--------
  B---s/10-----------10--
  G-----------------------
  D-----------------------
  This sounds good if it is played after the D9 chord. Have a listen to the CD
  to hear it. But if you are using a wah-wah it sound better if you don't
  peddle it when playing the riff.
  So there you go. Have fun.
