This is a great new U2 tune. There is more than one version too. I tabbed
the most widely played one, which is also the one I like most.

Louder Part of Verse ("It's in my mind, all of the time...")
A5 B5 E5 C#5 D5 (repeat)
Then for Verse 2 its the exact same thing that is
above, just without the Rhythm Guitar Chords.
==CHORUS==

==OUTRO==

Part Two (by itself):
Im not too good at figuiring out solos, unless they are
easy (like the one above), so all I can say about the
second part of the solo is that it is anascending
version of the one above, that goes higher, and finishes on:
e|---------------------------------------------------|
