"Night and Day"- covered by U2 (Version from the single "One")

Ideally this should be played with some delay and it also helps if you use
a wah-wah towards the end of the progression. The song can be played on only
three strings so I will only tab the strings that are actually played. By
the way, during the progression the number of times that the notes are
played will not be exactly right, so listen to the CD to get the rhythm,
timing, number of times notes are played etc. I think this is reasonably
close to the CD and it sounds OK.
E----------10------10--------10---------
B-----10------10-------10-----8--------- x 2 After this play this
G----------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----5----5---5---5---5---6---6---6---6---5---5---5---5---5-- Then go to
G--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----3---3---3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---6---6---6---6---5---5---5
G--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0- and repeat
it a few times then play-
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---6---6---6---6---8---8---8---8---8---8---8--
G--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0
And then do this 3 times-
E--------------------------------------
B----6---10---8---8---8---8---8---8- and finally play this-
G--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----11---11---10---11---11---11---13---13---13---13---13---13---12---12---12---
G--0---0---0---0---0----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---
E------------------------------------------------------
B----12---12---11---11---11---11---11---11-----10 and slide the last note up
the
G--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0--0--- fretboard
There isn't much more to the song except a couple of minor guitar parts. One
of them three quarters of the way through the song the is quite easy to
figure out (too much effort to tab) - it involves a lot of hammering-on up
the fretboard and is probably best played on the first string. There's also
a few seconds of synthesized guitar right at the end which I don't think is
worth the effort of figuring out.Bono once said that he thought that at one
stage U2 were terrible at covers and I admit they have done a few duds but I
don't think that this is one of them, though I gather that some would disagree.
