This one becomes very simple when you see the Edge play it on the Sau Paulo Popmart Bootleg Video. Note: I will only Tab the B string since it is all played on this string but where I mark XXX Strike the A + D strings open (with respect to the capo) and leave them to ring. The symbol / means gliss sharply and b means bend the string up to the note shown. h means hammer on B--15--15--17--15--14--14h15--12--12--12 / 10 / 8 / 7 / 5 / 3--3h5-XXX-3-5--5b7--5--3-5 Repeat this again and then: B--/8/6/7(Vibrato) (x2) B--/7/8/7---5--3--3h5--XXX-- 3--5--5--XXX--3--5 B--/8/6/7(Vibrato)--/8/6/7(Vibrato)--7/10--10-- Again this is open to improvisation especially with the use of the A and D strings. Edge never plays it the same anyway so there is lots of room for manipulation, but remember the glisses must be fast and sharp to get the desired effect. POST-SOLO: After the solo, play the MAIN RIFF and the riff from Verse 2 again: E----------------------------------- B-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-- G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-- Repeat this 4 times, then play D-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-- next part to lead into verse: A-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7--7--7-- E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0--0-- E------------ B------------ G-9-9-7-7-5-5 D-x-x-x-x-x-x (mute the "D" string) A-7-7-5-5-7-7 E------------ Play the next part twice: E--------------------------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------------------------- G-4-4-...4-4-4-6-6/7-7-...7-9-9/11-11-11-9-9-9-7-9-9/11-11-11-9-9-7-9- D-x-x-...x-x-x-x-x-x-x-...x-x-x--x--x--x-x-x-x-x-x-x--x--x--x-x-x-x-x- A-2-2-...2-2-2-4-4/5-5-...5-7-7/-9--9--9-7-7-7-5-7-7/-9--9--9-7-7-5-7- A--------------------------------------------------------------------- LAST VERSE: The edge uses some Harmonics: E---------------------------------------------- B------7------7----7--------------------------- G----7------7--------7---7------- Repeat Twice- D--7------7------------7---7------------------- A---------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------- Now return to the PRE-CHORUS RIFF: D A Em G E--------0---------------0-----------------0--------3------2---- B---3-----3---3-------0---0-----------------0--------3------3 G-----2-----2-------6-------6---------0------0--------2------2 D-0---------------7------------------2-------------------------- A----------------------------------2--------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------- D A E------0------------------------ B---3-----3---3-----2/4/6/7----- G-----2-----2------------------- D-0------------------------------- A------------------------------- E-------------------------------- NOW RETURN TO THE MAIN RIFF: E----------------------------------- B-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-- G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--nine--9--9-9-- Repeat this 4 times, then play D-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-9-- next part to lead into verse: A-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7--7--7-7-- E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0--0-0-- E------------ B------------ G-7-7-5-5-4-- D-x-x-x-x-x-- (mute the "D" string) A-5-5-3-3-2-- E------------ END SOLO For the ending solo, you need to keep the low, open E going (or sustained) while playing the solo. The solo is simply a variation of the power Em chord.

I've seen a load of videos and I was right under the edge at one of the popmart shows for alot of the song so I think I`m pretty correct. The Sau Paulo Video gives the Solo away. But remember all notes, harmonics and chords above are with respect to the capo on the 3rd fret Until The End Of The World Haven't seen you in quite a while I was down the hold, just passing time Last time we met it was a low-lit room We were as close together as a bride and groom You ate my food, you drank my wine Everybody having a good time Except me I was talking about the end of the world You took the money, You spiked my drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think You led me on with those innocent eyes And you know I love the element of surprise In the garden you were playing the tart You kissed my lips and broke my heart And I I was acting like it was the end of the world In my dream I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim In waves of Regret, waves of joy I reached out to the one I tried to destroy You, you said you'd wait until the end of the world. Alan Grehan - [email protected] Well, I have read many ways to play this, but I figured it out on my own, and it is one my favorites tp play. This is my highly simplified tab for the song. The song is very basic in nature. You just have to practice to get it right. As for the solo, you are on your own. I can play something close to it, but not exactly. Anyway, here is my tab: ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Until the End of the World" (Live, by U2) tabbed by Matt Stewart ([email protected]) PLAY THIS SONG WITH A CAPO ON THE 3RD FRET, TUNE DOWN THE GUITAR 1/2 STEP Use delay, set to about 400 ms, and use some chorus, a compressor, and some overdrive. ***NOTE: All chords are with respect to the CAPO on the 3RD FRET. OPENING For the opening, we hear that little distorted guitar over the loud speaker, and the Edge rips in with his heavily muted riff. My suggestion for playing it is muting the power E chord while letting the low E on your guitar ring, and then sliding up to get Edge's riff: *strum while muting* e------------------------------------------------ b-(9)-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--------------------- g-(9)-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--------------------- repeat this until d-(9)-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--------------------- the main riff a-(7)-x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--2/-12-------------- e--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--------------------- *NOTE: the '2/-12-' part is a slide from the 2nd fret to the 12th MAIN RIFF: (same as album version) e----------------------------------- b-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-- g-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-9-- Repeat this 4 times, then play d-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-9-- next part to lead into verse: a-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7--7--7-7-- e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0--0-0-- e------------ b------------ g-7-7-5-5-4-- d-x-x-x-x-x-- (mute the "D" string) a-5-5-3-3-2-- e------------ VERSE 1: Pick Bm, D, and Em chords apperegio Bm D Haven't seen you in quite a while Em I was down the hole just passing by (...and so on...)

I finally realized Edge is a pretty smart for putting a capo on the 3rd fret, and playing it like he did on the studio version. He plays the same chords, just 1/2 step down with a capo on the 3rd fret. I'll also give the chords if you don't have a capo.
