"Staring at the Sun" U2
off of the album POP

Greetings ppl! This is my take on track five on the new
u2 album! Any criticism accepted! Visit #tabmaster on
the effnet!

intro: play this a few times (with the appropriate
Am D5 rythem of course!
e--0--0
b--1--3
g--2--2
d--2--0
a--0---
E------

now the werdz start:

play this progression:
Am C? Bm? E5
e--0--0-------
b--1--3-------
g--2--0--4----
d--2--0--0--2-
a--0--3--2--2-
E-----------0-

"dont try to think" part:
Bm? C? D?
e---------
b---------
g--4--5--7
d--0--0--0
a--2--3--5
E---------

and then the chorus:

im not the only 1, staring at the sun,

C rythem: Am rythem:
0 0
1 1
0 2
2 2
3 0
3

afraid of what you'd find...

D/D7thingee rythem:
use one of these chords (whichever sounds best to you)
0 1
3 3
2 2
0 0

then the distorted electric part later on:

A5 D5 bar chords, then play with the previous D/D7
thingee you will figure it out!

...then the song pretty much repeats itself. It is
a great song, learn it!!

******Ok if you have any problems with this, feel free
to emai me. Also, please email me with any requests for
other songs as well. Look for my versions of The Outlaws'
Green Grass and High Tides, Jimi Hendrix's Star Spangled
Banner, and comming soon Discoteque! Catchyall L8R...
