Now, the chords appear below the words.  I suggest you use tab riff as shown
above for the main verse, but you can always try it with the chord
formations at the end of this file to get a more acoustic feel.

Subject: TAB: Bad (U2) - for one guitar

Bad by U2
from the album Unforgettable Fire

I play this song differently from the great two guitar
version in the archive (tabbed by Scott Yanoff).  So, here it is
for one guitar:


     Asus4   A        Asus4   A       
-------------12-12-------------12-12----------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
-12-12-12-11-------12-12-12-11----------------
--0--0--0--0--------0--0--0--0----------------
----------------------------------------------


  Dsus2   D            Dsus2   D
E--------------------------------------------------
B----------10-10-----------------10-10-------------
G-9-9-9-7------------9-9-9-9-7---------------------
D-0-0-0-0------------0-0-0-0-0---------------------
A--------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------

The intro Ds to each verse have this small difference:


  Dsus2   D                  Dsus2   D
E----------------------------------------------------
B----------10-10-----------------10---10-------------
G-9-9-9-7------------9-9-9-9-7-----7----7------------
D-0-0-0-0------------0-0-0-0-0-----------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------


Live Aid and Wide Awake in America lick at the ending jam:

     Asus4   A           Asus4   A       
E----9--12--9-12--9--12--9-12-------9-9---
B-----------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------

     Dsus2   D           Dsus2   D       
E----9--10--9-10--9--10--9-10------9------
