(3:54) starts fading in to build up to the solo, it sounds
 like the Edge is just doing sixteenth note rakes like he
is famous for doing, though if you want you can do the
 B octave again.

U2 fan since 1983 War tour. this is a truly vintage Dave Evans Riff. Will be turning up the Amp and when i get this right. JChitty you are also a proper legend for tabbing this so soon and so magnificently LOL huge thanks cheers Matt
Could you post that little part at the end of the intro riff. It sounds like some kind of inversion/ walk down part? The rest of this tab is awesome! Nice work!!
great tab. ever since this leaked out, i've been waiting for a tab to come out to this song.. this is so awesome, thanks!!
