  woohoo or chorus 
  G-------------------------------------------- 
  D--------------------------------------------
  A-----------------77-------5-77--------5-77--
  E----------------------55-7-------55-7-------       
  Its basically playing the E & A  but running up to the E after the A

  D------------------------------------   
  A--------7-5-------------------------                                                    E----00-------7-5-----7777-555---0000
  
  There it is , the end just plays the woohoo or chorus part

  listen to the song for an accurate rythym

  Elevation Bass Tab
  >From that kickass new album
  "All That You Can't Leave Behind"
  By your resident basser Jeff Newton
  
  I was just sounding it out and this is what i came up with:
  During the Intro electric tricky guitar stuff:
  G----------------------------------------
  D----------------------------------------
  A--2-0-0---2-5-7---2-0-0---7-2-0-0-2-5---
  E----------------------------------------
  
  Then just as Bono starts whooping and the guitar comes in:
  G---------------------------------
  D---------------------------------
  A--7-7-7-2-0-0-2-5-7-7-7-2-0-0----
  E---------------------------------
  
  Verse/Chorus
  
  G-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  D-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  A-7-7-0-0-0-7-7--7-7-7-2-2-0-0-0-7-7-7-7-7-2-2-0-0-0-7-7-7-7-7-2-2-0-0-0--
  E-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  G-------------------------
  D-------------------------
  A---7-7--5-------5-7------
  E------------7-5----------
  
  After interlude when there is heavy distortion on Edge's guitar and bono
  sings "elevation" over and over
  G-----------------------------------------
  D-----------------------------------------
  A--7-7-7-5-2-2-0-2/7-7-7-5-2-2-0-2/-------
  E-----------------------------------------
  *Note: There are some higher embellishments Adam adds during the chorus that
  I couldn't pick out....the regular chorus/verse riff sounds fine in this
  case, but if you wanna add your own little signature by all means nullify my
  tab!
  
  I won't insult your intelligence by laying it out all nice and pretty there
  for you. I'm pretty sure these are all the parts to the tune, try playing it
  and find out!
