U2 * I Threw A Brick Through A Window (live version)

Transcribed by Javier Cayuela. 



I saw the transcription to this song on the Archive and I think it has some 
mistakes. This is how Edge plays it (I think I'm quite close).
I transcribed it from the Under a Blood Red Sky video. The studio version is
very similar.
Tune down half a step.

(Intro1)

(Verse)

I was talking 
I was talking to myself, somebody else
Talk, talk, talking
I couldn't hear a word
A word you said

(Chorus)

He was my brother
I said there was no other way out of here
Be my brother
I got to get out

(Intro1)

(Verse)

I was walking 
I was walking into walls
I'm back again, just keep walking
I walk into a window to see myself
And my reflection
When I thought about it
My direction
Going nowhere, nowhere

(Intro2)

(Solo)
No one, no one is blinder
Than he who will not see
No one, no one is blinder than me

(Intro1)

(Verse)

I was talking 
I was talking in my sleep
I can stop talk talk talking
I'm talking to you
It's up to you

(Chorus)

Be my brother
There is no other way out of here
Be my brother
Gonna get out, gonna get out, out of here
