The Refugee

	U2 version, from "War" (1983)


I should mention this sounds best on a guitar tuned down half a step, with a lot of nice, clean, Edge distortion and some small echo or reverb.  My crap Venom amp works great for this song.

Chords:  C (3), B, C
C (3): 3 3 5 5 5 3
B:      1 1 3 3 3 1
C:		  x 3 2 0 1 0

There are "power-chord" versions of C and B here, too, used in the verse.  I'll call it Riff 1 for the hell of it.

                (C)                               (B)
Riff 1:  1 1 3 x x x   slide up to 3 3 5 x x x 

      (C)	         (Play parentheses palm-muted, then hit the chords and slide)
E-x------------------------------------------
B-x------------------------------------------
G-x------------------------------------------
D--3->5--------------(3)-(3)-(3)-3->5---------     
A--1->3--------------(1)-(1)-(1)-1->3---------
E --1->3--------------(1)-(1)-(1)-1->3---------

It's MUCH easier than I make it sound... listen to the disc (get the UltraDisc version! :>)
Got it?  Play it at the verses, where I've indicated R1.

Bridge:

         (C)          (C)    (B)     (C)
E----------------------------------
B--5-----5--5-5->3-3-->1----------
G-----5-----5-5->3-3---0----------
D-----------5-5->3-3-->2----------
A----------------------3----------
E---------------------------------

	Easy, just play the barred C chord arpeggiated, hit the chord, slide down to B, hit it twice, then quickly switch to the regular C chord.  I wish I could make it sound as simple on paper as it really is...

Here's the lyrics and the chords to go with them.  * chords mean you don't have to play them if you don't want to, it sounds good either way.  The album is w/out them.
