IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS

First I'll define Rythym Figures and Riffs before I actually
get into the song. The song appears to be in the key of Db,
with A B D E & G all flat. At the end of the song is my
attempt at the bass line.


Ryth. Fig. 1

A------------------------16----------------------16--------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------


Intro: the intro is mostly Bono's singing with Ryth. Fig. 1 in the
background
(there also seems to be an organ I couldn't figure
out). Ryth. Fig. 1 seems to be played in the background
for nearly the entire song.

Ryth. Fig. 1
nobody else here baby
no one here to blame
no one to point the finger
it's just you and me and the rain

nobody made you do it
no one put words in your mouth
nobody here takin' orders
when love took a train heading south

it's the blind, leading the blond
it's the stuff . . . it's the stuff of country songs

Chorus
(with organ)
hey if God will send His angels
and if God will send a sign
and if God will send His angels . . .
will everything be alright?

Bass enters with
Riff A
(10X)

God has got His phone off the hook babe
would He even pick up if he could
its been a while since we saw that child
hangin' round this neighborhood

see his mother dealin' in a doorway
see Father Christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus' sisters' eyes are a blister
the high street never looked so low

Riff B
it's the blind, leading the blond
it's the cops, collecting for the cons
so where is the hope
and where is the faith and the love
Riff A
(2X)
what's that you say to me?
does love light up your Christmas tree?

Riff B
the next minute your blowin' a fuse
and the cartoon network turns into the news

Riff A
if God will send His angels
and if God will send a sign
well if God will send His angels . . .
where do we go?

(where do we go?)

Bass Solo with
Riff C
(9X)

Jesus never let me down,
you know Jesus used to show me the score
then they put Jesus in show business
now it's hard to get in the door

(I need you)

Riff B
it's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
but I guess . . . yah it's something to go on

Riff A
if God will send His angels . . .
sure could use them here right now
well if God will send His angels . . .

Play around with a bend on B----7----
and Riff A notes then move into Riff B

if dont know want my life
and I wanna love I feel some
and I wanna love again . . .
and I wanna feel love . . . uhhhhhh!

Outro:

Bass Solo then
drums enter to fade

(add Riff C during fade)


BASS
(alternate tuning)

or just follow the notes:

Well, after repeated listenings, I came up with a rough sketch of this
soon to be favorite among U2 fans. I can't wait to hear the main riff
echoing through the POPMART stadiums this summer. Anyway, here's a
rough sketch of how to play the song.

If God Will Send His Angels , by U2
Tabbed by mps133@psu.edu

Use a Delay Pedal, and you will need some sort of wah-wah to play
certain parts to the song.

THERE IS A CAPO USED ON THE 6th FRET for the Chords and Riffs
Chords with respect to the CAPO are:
C x32010
Am x02210
E* 0200xx
G 3200xx

OPENING VERSE:
For the opening verse, the sound is really hard to match, but it is some
sort of wah-wah type effect. Play the following chords apperegio
through the opening verse
(note - the 'G' part is only played once,
repeat the C & Am apperegio throughout the verse):

G C Am
e-----------------------------------------------------
b---------------------1-------1-------1-------1-------
g-----------------------2---2---2---2---0---0---0-----
d-0-0------0-0------------2-------2-------2-------2---
a-2---2----2---2--------------------------------------
e-3-----3--3-----3------------------------------------

C Am C Am
Nobody else here baby no one else here to blame
C Am C Am
No one to point the finger...it's just you and me in the rain
Nobody made you do it no one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders when love took a train heading south


PRECHORUS:
G Am
(may be C, not too sure)
It's the blind leading the blond
G Am
It's the stuff the stuff of country songs

REFRAIN:
C E* Am G
Hey if God would send his angels
C E* Am G
And if God will send a sign
C E* Am
And if God will send his angels
E* C
Would everything be alright?

THE RIFF:
There are many little variations that the Edge throws into this riff,
play around with them, and play along with the song to get a feel for
it.
Use Delay for this riff, set to about .4 seconds. This tab is with
respect to the capo on the 6th fret.

e---------------0---------
b-1-1-3-3-----3---3-1----- Just repeat this pattern, and play around
g---------------------2--- with different variations to get it right

Little Riff after Bono Sings Where Do We Go?

(no delay for this part). Tab with respect to capo on 6th fret.

d---10--8-10-8----10---8-10-8----8--
a--------------10-------------10----

That's basically the song. I welcome any corrections.
Enjoy.

If God Will Send His Angles
(live POPMART version)
transcribed by Patrick Bigley
(BONO446825@aol.com)


Of all the POPMART shows I've heard or saw
(live or on the net)
this song hasbeen played a different way than on the album.
I transcribed this song by using the version played at the
Pittsburgh show, because it is the the only one I had on tape.
So, it may or may not differ from that played at another show.
