 Intro to Running to Stand Still by U2


 


 A few notes: There is more than one guitar playing but I stuck most all of


 it on one line. There are some ragged background bits I left out. If you


 want you can play those bends on the A string to go easier on your


 fingertips. The slide-bends are smoothed out so it sounds like a full bend.


 


 Most importantly, the whole song is a 1/2 step up.


 


 ^ trill


 / bend up till it sounds right


 x pick scrape

 ^listen carefully ^synth comes


 for this. in here (D).


 


 Oh incidentally, the little transition between chords is this:


 


 

 
 e---------- The reason it's so high up the frets is that it's done with
 b------10-- the keyboard, which is playing the equivalent of E-barre D's
 g--11------ and G's at the 10th and 3rd frets, respectively.
