U2

U2 - God Part Ii guitar chord

God Part II live version, transcribed by Collin Burgemeestre

You can follow for the most part Richard Zangoli's transcription, I only

try to add those parts which U2 added for their Lovetown live shows. For this

transcription I used the new years night show in Dublin, except for the final

part.

Some stuff:

s/ slide up \s slide down

/bu bend up \bd release bend

The first verse is bass, bassdrum and Bono only. During the second verse the

Edge plays this

Don't believe in forced entry

E--3-3-3-5\s---------------------------------------------------------------

Just before Edge enters the main riff he plays this fill.

B----13--13---

G----11--11---

For the main part see Richard Zangoli's transcription. After the final verse

comes Edge's solo.

This is Edge's solo:

E---s/10-10-------------------s/10-10-------------------------------------

B-----------13/bu-\bd-10-10-----------13/bu-\bd-10-10---s/15-15-15--------

G-------------------------------------------------------------------------

E-----------------------17----17----17----17----17----17----17----17------

B-s/17-17-17-s/20-20-20----20----20----20----20----20----20----20----20---

G-------------------------------------------------------------------------

E-17----17----17----17----17----17-20/bu-20-

B----20----20----20----20----20-------------

G-------------------------------------------

Now comes the really fast part. I don't have clue but this comes close.

E-20-17-20-17-------------------------------------------------------------

G-------------20-17-20-17-------------------------------------------------

B-------------------------19-17-19-17-------------------------------------

D-------------------------------------19-17-19-17-------------19-17-19-17-

A-------------------------------------------------19-17-19-17-------------

E-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This part seems to vary during shows, I like to do this.

E--------------------15-14-12----12-------12---------15-14-12--------------------

B-----------------12----------15----15-14----15-14-12---------15-14-12-------14\s

G-19-17----------------------------------------------------------------12----14\s

D-------19-17-------------------------------------------------------------14-14\s

A-------------19-----------------------------------------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats it. If anyone can come up with a better part of that final lick I would

really like to now.

God Part II by U2, Transcribed by Richard Zangoli

Another awesome U2 track which, I believe, in hindsight gave an early

indication to the change in the U2 sound between Rattle and Hum and Achtung

Baby. This is what I could come up with. I'll tab some of the bass for the

intro verse. I think it's tuned down half a step.

Bono starts singing somewhere here

A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E--5--5--5--5---5--5---5--5--5---5--5--5--5---5--5-5---5--5---5---5---5--5---5--

Don't believe in excess success... Don't belive in

riches

A--5--5--5---5--5---5--5---5--5--5---5--5--5--5--5------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------5--5--5--5--5--5--5---

I I believe in love

A-----7--7--7--7--7--5--5--5--5----------------------

E--------------------------------------5--5--5--5--5-5--

The simple yet awesome guitar riff is then played-

E-----------------------------

B----12--14----s/12----14--- and so on and so forth.

G----12--14----s/12----14---

D----12--14----s/12----14---

A-------------0-------------0--

E------------------------------

When Bono sings "I, I ,I , believe in love" you can play something like-

E-------------------------------------------------------

B---9---------7------10--10--10---------10--10------

G---9---------7---------------------12-----12--12--11-- and then go back to

the

D---9---------7--------------------------------------- main riff

A---7---------5-----------------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------

This is the guitar bit where Bono keeps singing "loooove, loooove"

E------------------------------------------------------------------------8-----

B--s/10--s/10--8---10---------s/10--s/10--8--10-------s/10--s/10---8--10----10--

G------------------------9(?)---------------------------------------------------

The next bit sounds like-

E----------------------------------------------------------

B---------------------------------------------------------

G---------------------------------------------------------

D---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7------------5---------- and so on and so

forth.

A---x---x---x---x---x---x---x----x----5h7---------------- Then play E A bar

E---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----5---------------------- chords

then it goes briefly goes back to the riff above

.

Right at the end there is something that sounds like-

E-------------------------------12--12--12--12--12-----

B---15--15--15--15--15--15--15--15--15--15--15-----

G---14--14--14--14--14--14--14--14--14--14--14------

D-----------------------------------------------------------

That should have most of the guitar parts. Hope you like it. Bye.

chords by: Sergio Lucero, slucero@cipres.cec.uchile.cl

E7

Don't believe the devil, I don't believe his book

But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up

A

I don't believe in excess, success is to give

E7

I don't believe in riches, but you should see where I live

B (Bb) A E7

I......I believe in love

I don't believe in forced entry, I don't believe in rape

But every time she passes by, wild thoughts escape

I don't believe in skid-row, death-row or the gangs

I don't believe in the Uzi, it just went off in my hand

I......I believe in love

I don't believe in cocaine, I got a speed-ball in my head

I could cut and crack you open Do you hear what I said ?

I don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure

The rich stay healthy and the sick stay poor

I......I believe in love

I don't believe in Goldman, his type like a curse

Instant karma's going to get him if I don't get him first

I don't believe in rock 'n roll can really change the world

As it spins in revolution, spirals and turns

I......I believe in love

I don't believe in the 60's, the golden age of pop

You glorify the past when the future dries up

I heard a singer on the radio late last night

He says he's going to kick the darkness, until it bleeds daylight

I......I believe in love

I feel like I'm falling I'm spinning on a wheel

It always stops beside me with a presence I can feel

I......I believe in love
