We have an official Bad tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

U2-Bad
 
Tabbed By Kevin Brosky
 
Some people say this song has two guitar parts but I believe it can be played in one.
 
This is how I play the main riff and it could be wrong but here goes:
 
 
E|--------------------12-12--------------------12-12-|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|--12-12-12-12--11----------12-12-12-12--11---------|
A|--0---0--0--0---0----------0---0--0--0---0---------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
 
E|--------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------10-10------------10---10-------------|
G|--9-9-9-9-7---------9-9-9-9-7----7----7-----------|
D|--0-0-0-0-0---------0-0-0-0-0---------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|
 
This is played repeatedly throughout the song.
 
It sounds good with echo or reverb.  Enjoy!

i've always thought this worked well as a rhythm lead: e:|---0----0-0---0----0------------|-----------------------0--------| b:|-2----2-----2----2---2--2--2----|---3----3-3---3----3-----3---3--| g:|--------------------------------|-2----2-----2----2---2-----2----| d:|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| a:|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| e:|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| ... q.d.

Actually sounds pretty good with a delay.

Sounds good man. Thanks.
