U2 — Electrical Storm (ver 3) Chords

Electrical Storm
tabbed by {phlikone}
I looked at some of the other tabs and they just seem to be off to me. This is what I
hear, it works fine with open chords or barred. I put a few alternatives for you to
experiment with. I am a solo acoustic guitarists...so I don't have the lead part, but
other tab versions might have it. Please give a good rating, Thanks!

note: I make an open E chord and use my thumb for F#m, A, B, D, and C#m.
The rhythm is pretty tough to figure out, just get use to the song and you'll get it.

ELECTRICAL STORM (EASY VERSION)
tabbed by {Phlikone}
I'm going to put an "easy" version...I figured it out last night, these are basic chords
but played with a capo on two. These are the same "notes" as in the above version, just
easier to play for those, like me, struggle sometimes. So I hope this will help those who
are just learning...Don't forget to rate! Thanks.
