U2 - Hawkmoon 269 guitar chord
HAKWMOON 269
------------
U2
I though this great U2 song deserved a proper transcription.
I have two versions of this song the album version (in B) and the live
version (in G). They are BOTH tuned down half a step.
First the album version, there's two guitars Gtr. 1 playing
mainly two chords: B and Badd4. Keep playing these for the majority
of the song changing to A and E for the "as the room spins around"
bit:
Gtr. 1 (Strum fast)
E---7--7-----7--7----|---5--5-----0--0---
B---7--7-----7--7----|---5--5-----0--0---
G---8--8-----8--8----|---6--6-----1--1---
D---9--9-----9--9----|---7--7-----2--2---
A---9--9-----7--7----|---7--7-----2--2---
E---7--7-----7--7----|---5--5-----0--0---
While Gtr. 1 plays on a second guitar plays the following:
Gtr. 2 (Strum slow)
E---7--7--7----7----7--7--7----7-7-7------------------------------------
B---7--7--7----9----10-10-10---9-9-9------------------------------------
G---8--8--8----9----9--9--9----9-9-9------------------------------------
D---9--9--9----9----9--9--9----9-9-9------------------------------------
A---9--9--9----7----7--7--7----7-7-7------------------------------------
E---7--7--7-------------------------------------------------------------
That's about all there is to the album version apart from the 'solo':
Gtr. 2
E--------------------------------
B---9b(10)-hold-(10)-r9--9--7----
G--------------------------------
D--------------------------------
A--------------------------------
E--------------------------------
The live version can be found on the Lovetown documentary and various
bootlegs. It has a slide guitar intro but the rhythm is similar to the
album, it's in G though (tuned down half step). When playing the intro
Edge keeps alternately picking the B and G strings quite fast so this
is just a guide. The brackets () mean don't re-pick, just hold the note:
Edge: (w/ slide)
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B-----3----3----3----3/(8)---8/(12)----12/(13)----13\(8)----8\(3)---3---
G--0-----0----0----0-------0---------0----------0---------0-------0-----
Then this:
Edge: (w/ slide)
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----3----3----3/(8)----8/(12)---12/13----13----13----13/15--13\12---12-
G-0----0----0--------0--------0--------0-----0-----0--------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B--12/13---12\(10)---10\(8)---8\(6)---5/(6)---5---1/3-------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bono plays the second guitar strumming G and Gadd4 chords, and F and C
for
"as the room spins around" bit:
Bono:
E----3--3----3--3---|---1--1----3--3------
B----3--3----3--3---|---1--1----5--5------
G----4--4----4--4---|---2--2----5--5------
D----5--5----5--5---|---3--3----5--5------
A----5--5----3--3---|---3--3----3--3------
E----3--3----3--3---|---1--1--------------
Edge plays some stuff with the slide including:
Edge: (slow slide here) (fast slide here)
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B------3\(1)-(1)-(1)/(3)--------1/(3)--1/(3)--1/(3)--etc.---------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Edge: (w/ slide)
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----3--5/(6)---5---1---1/(5)\(3)---2-----------1---0-------------------
G---------------------------------------2---2---------------------------
He then plays some arpeggio chords followed by the solo:
Edge:
E-----12--13--12--13-13--12--13--12--10--10-----------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apart from some more arpeggio stuff that's about it. Please send any
corrections
or improvements to the archive, cheers.
