U2 - Tablatura - Refugee
Gestisci
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.

The Refugee
