*Staring At The Sun (live acoustic version)*


Transcribed by Gianluigi Bisleri (gluigibisleri@galactica.it)
Here is the way U2 played "Staring at the sun" live in their acoustic
part of the PopMart
show.This is really a great version to play with two guitars(and without
drums and bass!).

The 1st guitar plays the basic chords(Am,G,F,Em)while the 2nd plays this
little solo:
(which was played by Bono:I can't believe he learned how to play
guitar!!)
e- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
b- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - -
g- -9-7-9-9- - -9-7-9-9-12-12-12- - -9-7-9-9- - - - - - - - --- -- - - -
d- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --7-9-10- -12-9-5-

Try to get the rigth timing along with the 1st guitar,that should play
the chords a little slower than the original version.

Than the song goes on as the original version until the part
"Intransigence is all around,
military................" where one guitar is mute and the other plays
this little riff :

e- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
b- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. -- - - - - - - -
g- - - - - - - -5-5- - - - - - - - --- -- - - --- - - - - - -
d- -7-5-7- - - - - -7-5- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
a- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -7-5-7-0- - - - - - - - - - - - -

This goes on until " I left you in the duty free.." where you play again
as the original.
This song is absolutely cool to hear live.
