Bullet the blue sky



correction- *Bullet The Blue Sky--It's in Em and tuned down 1/2
step. The opening chord riff is just playing E/B/G on the
1st 3 strings, respectfully at the 12th fret
(Em), then
B/G/D on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strings at the 12th fret

(G). After hitting the chord, use your trem bar to dive
bomb the sound. The chorus is B/F#/D on the 1st 3 strings
at the 7th fret
(Bm).

Bullet the Blue Sky
(live version) by U2


Just before the intro riff play this
(bend the strings then release them
reasonably slowly)-
E----------------
B-----15b------
G-----14b------
D---------------
A---------------
E----------------

Intro riff
(Edge uses a slide but you don't have to)
E----7--7/s--
B----7--7/s--
G----7--7/s-- etc.
D------------
A------------
E-0----------

Just before the second verse, either slide you finger up the big E string
or run your pick
up it. And then with a wah-wah play this
(x=mute strings)-
E---x---x---x-----------------x--x--x------
B---x---x---x---8--8--7p5---x--x--x-------
G---x---x---x-----------------x--x--x and so on
D---x---x---x-----------------x--x--x------
A-------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------

Sometimes Edge will play this instead
E--------------------
B---------8--8--s/10
G--------------------
D--------------------
A---------------------
E---------------------
For the Chorus play-

E-----------------------------------
B--7--7--------------------------
G--7--7-------------------------- listen to the song for the timing.
D--7--7--------------------------
A----------7--5-5-5--5-7-5-7--- etc..
E-----------------------------------

After Bono says Don't let it happen again play this-
E--------------3--3---3--3--3--3--3--3-------------------------------3---3---3--
B--------------3--3---3--3--3--3--3--3-------------------------------3---3---3-
G--------------0--0---0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------------------0---0---0--
D------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------5h7-----------------
E---15s/0-----------------------------------------s/7--7---------0--------------
etc...
Play this a few times and on the last time the G chord is played start
peddling the wah-wah. Now for the solo. Well there is a good transcription
to it
(the Stay single version) already on the U2 archive so you could to
some extent use that one. However, the Sydney video version varies to some
extent during its 2nd half
(there are also minor variations in the first
half but they are small and easy to pick up anyway) and is incomplete. So
what I'll do is I'll tab the second half of the Sydney version and finish it
off.

The 2nd half of the solo-
E--------------------------------
B--15--0--14--0--12--0--10--0 play this three times, then play-
G--------------------------------

E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--15--0--14--0--12--0--14--0------15---0--14--12--0--10--0---15p14--0--12h-14-0
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E----------------------------------------------------------------15------15-----
B--15--0--14--0--12--14---15-15-s/17--17--17--0--15---s/15b---15b
(17)-15b-----15
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E----------------12--------------------------------------------
B-----------12----------15b
(and release)-----15--12--15-----
G----s/14--------------------------------------------------------

and now for the really fast bit
(it's played so fast I can't exactly know
what is played but this seems reasonably close and sounds good and is enough
to get by)-

E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------10
B----------------------------------------------------8---10p8--10-----10b-------
G-------------------------------7--9p7--9-----s/9-------------------------------
D---------5--7p5--7--7s/9-------------------------------------------------------
A-----7-------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P=pull off use the wah here
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----10bp8--10------10--8h10--8----7h8--5----5-----5p3---5p3--5p3--- etc....
G---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The what you might call the second solo is similar to the original version
solo, uses a slide and goes something like-

E------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B---s/12-----------12---------------12------------------------------14----------
G----------12-------------12----------------12---------12-----s/14------14------
D---------------12--------------12----------------12------------------------14--
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-14----------------14----------------------------14-------------20--------20--
G-------14------------------14----------14----------------s/21--------21-------
D-------------14------------------14-----------14-------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E----------------------------------------
B---------20--------20------19s/------ after this it's very much ad libbing
G----21--------21------21-------------- chaotic sound, scrape the edge of
D----------------------------------------- your pick on some or all of
some
A----------------------------------------- or all of the last strings
E------------------------------------------
