A few notes:
1) Ever since I misplaced my Infinite Guitar I've had to cope with
conventional effects. What I use instead is a BOSS delay pedal set to 0.4 sec
with a feedback rate of about 70% maximum (the arrow points directly right).
I also turn up the reverb on my amp to about half of maximum. You may have
to gently repluck strings especially at the beginning of the song.
2) It is important to turn off the delay when indicated, otherwise the sound
will all flood together.
3) Most of this is from the Joshua Tree song book. It's somewhat simplified
but will still sound about the same. The end is from Rattle & Hum (the movie)
4) The lyrics are above the music.
notation guide:
(#) - hold note on #th fret (see above)

\ - slide down
p/h - pull off/hammer on

Same four chords repeat throughout song:
[D] [D/A] [Bm7] [D/G]
A simplified version can be played. Here it goes. If you want
to play the original version, replace the four chords.
S[D]ee the [A]stone set in your [Bm]eyes,
See the t[G]horn twist in your s[D]ide
I [A]wait for y[Bm]ou[G]
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait....without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you, with or without you
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
