Refugee chords

U2

Key: 

Simplify chords 

  			I should mention this sounds best on a guitar tuned down half a step,  
with a lot of nice, clean, Edge distortion and some small echo or  
reverb.  My crap Venom amp works great for this song. 
 
Chords:  C (3), B, C 
C (3): 3 3 5 5 5 3 
B:     1 1 3 3 3 1 
C:     x 3 2 0 1 0 
 
There are "power-chord" versions of C and B here, too, used in the  
verse.  I'll call it Riff 1 for the hell of it. 
 
                (C)                               (B) 
Riff 1:  1 1 3 x x x   slide up to 3 3 5 x x x  
 
      (C)	         (Play parentheses palm-muted, then hit the  
chords and slide) 
E-x------------------------------------------ 
B-x------------------------------------------ 
G-x------------------------------------------ 
D--3->5--------------(3)-(3)-(3)-3->5---------      
A--1->3--------------(1)-(1)-(1)-1->3--------- 
E --1->3--------------(1)-(1)-(1)-1->3--------- 
 
It's MUCH easier than I make it sound... listen to the disc (get the  
UltraDisc version! :>) 
Got it?  Play it at the verses, where I've indicated R1. 
 
Bridge: 
 
         (C)          (C)    (B)     (C) 
E---------------------------------- 
B--5-----5--5-5->3-3-->1---------- 
G-----5-----5-5->3-3---0---------- 
D-----------5-5->3-3-->2---------- 
A----------------------3---------- 
E--------------------------------- 
 
	Easy, just play the barred C chord arpeggiated, hit the chord,  
slide down to B, hit it twice, then quickly switch to the regular C  
chord.  I wish I could make it sound as simple on paper as it really is... 
 
Here's the lyrics and the chords to go with them.  * chords mean you  
don't have to play them if you don't want to, it sounds good either way.   
The album is w/out them.
