A few notes:

1) Ever since I misplaced my Infinite Guitar I've had to cope with

conventional effects. What I use instead is a BOSS delay pedal set to 0.4 sec

with a feedback rate of about 70% maximum (the arrow points directly right).

I also turn up the reverb on my amp to about half of maximum. You may have

to gently repluck strings especially at the beginning of the song.

2) It is important to turn off the delay when indicated, otherwise the sound

will all flood together.

3) Most of this is from the Joshua Tree song book. It's somewhat simplified

but will still sound about the same. The end is from Rattle & Hum (the movie)

4) The lyrics are above the music.

notation guide:

(#) - hold note on #th fret (see above)

/ - slide up

- slide down

p/h - pull off/hammer on

tabbed by: Scott Yanoff, yanoff@csd4.csd.uwm.edu

Same four chords repeat throughout song:

D D/A Bm7 D/G

A simplified version can be played. Here it goes. If you want

to play the original version, replace the four chords.

D A Bm

See the stone set in your eyes,

G D

See the thorn twist in your side

A Bm G

I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait....without you

With or without you

With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

With or without you, with or without you

I can't live with or without you

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give

And you give

And you give yourself away

My hands are tied

My body bruised, she's got me with

Nothing left to win

And nothing else to lose

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live

With or without you
