anybody have a good tab for this song??

I looking for the correct riff and solo

Pero

This tab is a live version of "Even better than the real thing"
that U2 played during their Zoo-Tv Tour.
I personally own a ZOOM " PLAYER " 2020 and the sound that I created
is very similar to Edge's sound.
I think the most important thing of the song is the delay-effect
(Zoom Player: 350ms, Feedback 2, Mix 7)

Comments or other suggestions are requested.
Now enjoy playing this song.

**INTRO**

D5 - x577xx

At the beginning of the song The Edge plays a D5 chord that he modifies with
his DigiTech "Whammy". So he can create this special sound.
If you haven't got a "Whammy" you can create a similar sound
with a small trick.
Play the Ab and the Db string together and repeat this 2 times,
then play the Gb string and the other 2 strings alternately.

So, that's it, not very difficult.

** After the second refrain Edge starts his solo. The first part is played
without words. In the second part Bono starts to sing **


< Solo 2nd part

>

Oh no, oh no here she comes


** The next part of the song is played like the REFRAIN **


Take me higher, take me higher, can you take me higher?, will you take me

You're the real thing, yeah the real thing, you're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing...

Pero

that's correct,sorry i forgot that it has this mistake.
i played it differently always, i remembered it from guitar pro file i had, so i didn't pay much of attention to the tab.
