Zooropa

 

 U2  

 

Music by U2

Lyrics by Bono

Transcribed by Brandon Leniart <leniarbk@jmu.edu>

 

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.

 

Intro (with wah, phaser, and delay):

Don't worry baby, it'll be alright

You've got the right shoes to get you through the night

It's cold outside, but brightly lit

                                 F#m

Skip the subway, let's go to the overground

                                   E     F#m                       E

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

            E

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.
