(The Popmart version)

Tune the guitar down 1/2 step (More or less....The Edge sometimes uses a tone  
higher then 1/2 step) 
 
I use: 
 
Korg SDD-3000 with 450 ms delay 
 
 
The '~' means: Go from 5th fret to 3th fret.  
 
 
Riff 1: 
 
e-----------x 
b-----------5~3_2_3 
g-----------2 
d-----------2 
a-----------x 
E-----------x 
 
This is Riff 1, the intro riff. 
But i have no idea how to explain the rythm, or when to hit each strings,  
so you'll have to listen to the song to get it right, i suppose. 
 
 
There is both strumming and picking in this song. 
 
The Chorus riff : 
 
Riff 2: 
 
e-----------x 
b-----------3~2_3 
g-----------2 
d-----------4 
a-----------5 
E-----------x 
 
You can barre the entire 2th fret, and play it like sort of a C chord,  
if you know what i mean. 
 
 
This is roughly all of it........ 
 
Here are the lyrics, and when to play the riffs: 
 
 
                     Riff 1                        
'I've waited patiently on the Lord..... 
                     Riff 2 
he inclined and heard my cry........ 
                     Riff 1                  
he lifted me up out of the pits..... 
                     Riff 2 
out of the   miry clay.....' 
 
 
      Riff 1    (reapeat all the way until Riff 2)                           
'And i will sing.......sing a new song.......i will sing...... 
                                         Riff 2      
sing a new song.........How long.......to sing this song.......how   
 
 Riff 1                Riff 2      Riff 1             Riff 2        
 long.....to sing this song......how long......how long....... 
 Riff 1            Riff 2                              Riff 1 
how long.....how long......must we sing this song.......' 
 
 
(Play Riff 1 while waiting for the second verse to start) 
 
        Riff 1                          Riff 2                   
'He set my feet upon a rock......made my footsteps firm...... 
    Riff 1                          Riff 2 
many will see.....many will see and hear....... 
 
 
 Riff 1         (reapeat all the way until Riff 2)                        
'And i will sing.......sing a new song.......i will sing...... 
                                           Riff 2        
sing a new song.........How long.......to sing this song.......how   
 
 Riff 1                Riff 2      Riff 1             Riff 2               
 long.....to sing this song......how long......how long....... 
Riff 1            Riff 2                              Riff 1 
how long.....how long......must we sing this song.......' 
 
 
The song fades out with The Edge playing Riff 1,  
and Bono singing: 'How long....', and letting the audience  
sing along from there....... 
 
As the last riff of the song i use this: 
 
  
e-----------x 
b-----------2 
g-----------2 
d-----------2 
a-----------4 
E-----------5 
 
(Strum the riff once, and let the delay fade it out) 
 
 
 
That is about it, i guess......i'm horrible with tabs...... 
please let me know of any mistakes. 
 
Hope you like it....... 
 
Thanks!
