Race Against Time
Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart
Race Against Time is the 2nd song off the Where The Streets
Have No Name single, and does not contain much guitar. The
opening bass line contains 2 notes, and was played by The
Edge. Bono sings in Swahili, then Larry comes in on the
drums, which Larry did in 1 take. I believe the song is in
Bm.

This is played throughout the song, with occasional overdub
