With Or Without You Chords

U2: With Or Without You
Transcribed by Zdenek Kunicky (zdenekkunicky@seznam.cz)
 
Note that the chords are very simple and a four chord pattern repeats
throughout the whole song. Here is my proposal how to make it sound
interesting on a single guitar - remember that the whole song is about
strumming. Feel free and add more action as the song goes on. Mute the
strings that should not be played.
 
 
Chords:
 
D5:    XX023X
A5:    X022XX
D5/B:  X2023X
G5:    3X00(3)X
Asus4: X02230
D/B:   X20232
Gsus2: 300233
 
 
[Intro]
 
D5
D5 A5 D5/B G5 (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
D5        A5                D5/B
  See the stone set in your eyes
        G5                  D5      A5       D5/B   G5
See the thorn twist in your side  I wait for you
D5           A5                D5/B
  Sleight of hand and twist of fate
            G5                 D5          A5     D5/B      G5
On a bed of nails she makes me wait  and I wait without you
          D5        A5          D5/B      G5
With or without you,  with or without you
 
D5            A5                  D5/B
  Through the storm, we reach the shore
            G5             D5            A5      D5/B     G5
You gave it all but I want more, And I'm waiting for you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          D5        A5        D5/B           G5
With or without you,  with or without you ah-ha
        D5   A5          D5/B      G5
I can't live   with or without you
 
D5  A5  D5/B  G5
 
 
[Bridge]
(From here add more strumming)
 
        D5            A5            D5/B          G5
And you give yourself away, and you give yourself away
        D5           A5            D5/B           G5
And you give and you give, and you give yourself away
 
D5            A5   D5/B      G5
 My hands are tied,  my body bruised
           D5              A5      D5/B            G5
She got me with nothing to win and nothing else to lose
 
 
[Bridge]
(same as above)
 
And you give yourself away, and you give yourself away
And you give and you give, and you give yourself away
With or without you,  with or without you ah-ha
I can't live,  with or without you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D     Asus4   D/B    Gsus2    D     Asus4   D/B    Gsus2
Ohhhhhhh      Ohhhhhhhhhh     Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
        D            Asus4    D/B            Gsus2
With or without you,  with or without you oh-h
        D    Asus4       D/B       Gsus2        D
I can't live   with or without you    with or without you..
