------------------------------- Vertigo - U2 ------------------------------- Tabbed By: Abdullah Mahran Email: amahran@hotmail.com This is a pretty simple song, but all cases where it is hard to figure out the timing of the notes, i will put the tempo beats under the tab a few rules: I expect you heard this song before (and just putting the tempo for the people who are fed up, like me , with people that put the guitar tab with notes that are hard to hear so you can't tell the timing) I expect you to listen to the rules that are stated above the tab lines I expect you know how to count the timing: 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a i expect you to play it chronologically, not bit-by bit i expect you know how to relate the tempo to the timing of the song, quarter beats/minute i know you all know what palm mute (P.M) is, but each bar has a palm mute sign above it, but u only palm mute the notes with ---| above them including the one under the | I refer to specific bars by FIG.[NUMBER] and it continues from the F in FIG to the | in -------------------------| (and if there is no |, then it means the fig is a few more bars longer until there is a |) I expect you have the perfect tuning I expect you know how to play harmonics Chorus is always with distortion The Beginning muted strums are with distortion I expect you to follow all rules, including this one tempo = 140 (also indicated by the stick beats at the beggining standard tuning guitar 1 (elec.) guitar 2 (elec.) sticks: X X X X |(THIS IS REPEATED TWICE) | e------------------------|-----X-----X------X-X----| B------------------------|-----X-----X------X-X----| G------------------------|-----X-----X------X-X----| D------------------------|-----X-----X------X-X----| A------------------------|-----X-----X------X-X----| E------------------------|-----X-----X------X-X----| | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | (THIS IS REPEATED TWICE)| (THIS PART IS PLAYED THE SECOND TIME)| e--X-X-----X------X-X---|---| B--X-X-----X------X-X---|---| G--X-X-----X------X-X---|7-7| D--X-X-----X------X-X---|7-7| A--X-X-----X------X-X---|5-5| E--X-X-----X------X-X---|---| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & a| This is the intro-chorus-ish thing at the beginning: V Fig.0 ends FIG. 0------------------------------------------------------------------| ===(This part is played 3 times)===|==(This part is played only once)==| e-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| G-7/9-9-7/9-9-7-9-|---------------77|-7/9-9-7/9-9-7-9-|-----------------| D-7/9-9-7/9-9-7-9-|---7-7-7-7\6\5-77|-7/9-9-7/9-9-7-9-|---7-7-7-7\6\5---| A-5/7-7-5/7-7-5-7-|---7-7-7-7\6\5-55|-5/7-7-5/7-7-5-7-|---7-7-7-7\6\5---| E-----------------|-0-5-5-5-5\4\3---|-----------------|-0-5-5-5-5\4\3-0-| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &a| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | ============================================================================ FIG. 1---------------------------------------------------------------------- L: go... can't... your...
