Until The End Of The World (live)
Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
Here is a very simplistic version of "Until The End Of The World" live,
tuned down 1/2 step. I finally realized Edge is a pretty smart for putting a
capo on the 3rd fret, and playing it like he did on the studio version. He
plays the same chords, just 1/2 step down with a capo on the 3rd fret. I'll
also give the chords if you don't have a capo.
Intro (with distortion and delay):
1---x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x-------
2---x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--/12--

Standard tuning with capo on 4th fret
( Note: for less confusion all open notes are indicated as 0 and not 4 )
Intro, with heavy funky distortion.( This probably won't sound much like it
unless you have the right effect )

Next Edge does a nice muting rythm. ( just listen to the song )
Rythm figure 1 part A (Play 3X

Right after you hit the last cord for R1-B, jump into this great picking
melody. (remember this is with a capo on 4th fret)

The last few notes above lead into rythm figure 1-A which is played 3X,
and then rythm figure 1-B. Next is Rythm figure 2, shown below.

[------------IRe2--------------------]Now go back up to the Re1 sign and
[------------I-----------------------]play through until you get to the
[--1311--11-I-119---9---9/11--11---]Re2 sign, then through until you get
[--1311--11-I-119---9---9/11--11---]to the go to the picking figure below.
[--1311--11-I-119---9---9/11--11---](note: at the end of Rythm figure two,
[--1412--12-I-1210--10--10/12-12---]play the last chord a few extra times)

Now play Rythm figure 1-A only. ( play 4 times, 4th time without the ending )
Next is a typically Edge-like solo. ( when the 4th and 5th strings are
played, damp them right away )

The last slide of the solo goes up to Rythm figure 1-A ( played 3X ),
then Rythm figure 1-B.
Rythm figure 1-B then leads into Rythm figure 2.
After Rythm figure 2 come the harmonics shown below.

The above harmonics are repeated again and then lead into picking.

Next play rythm figure 1-A 4 times ( 4th time without ending )
Last is Edge's live outro jam. With so much going on it was very hard
to tab. This is the best I can make of it. Feel free to improvise.

play these chords and notes for maybe 10seconds.

This is a simplified version of the solo. If I included every

you the basis of the solo, and from here you can add what you

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait 'til the end of the world.
