Hi!
Here's what he plays:

-----------------------12---------
-----------14-------------14-----
--12/14-------14------------14-
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------

-----------------------10---------
-----------12-------------12-----
--12-----------12------------12-
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------

Then back to the intro riff and the verse.

I've tabbed out a bit for you - this was done quickly and from memory, as I'm in a rush (back to university tomorrow, ugh), so I apologise in advance if anything is incorrect. I might tab a full version later that includes all of Edge's variations, a la the Sydney DVD. I personally improvise a bit when I play the song...Edge never played it the same way every night either, so I figure I don't have to stay true to every bootleg I hear.

Here is the intro riff. It is repeated in slight variations throughout the song:

Code:
e|-10-10-10-10----10-10-------10-----10----| 
B|-10-12-12-12b13-12-10---10-----10-----10-|  
G|----------------------11--11-----11------| 
D|-----------------------------------------|  
A|-----------------------------------------|  
E|-----------------------------------------|

e|-10-10-10-10----10-10-------10-----10-------10-------| 
B|-10-12-12-12b13-12-10---10-----10-----10-------10----|  
G|----------------------12--12-----12------12-------12-| 
D|-----------------------------------------------------|  
A|-----------------------------------------------------|  
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
Verses typically look like this. Add a few open D notes in every now and then (there's no set pattern to the open notes, so I didn't include them here):

Code:
e|-------10-------10-------10---------------| 
B|---10-------10-------10-------10----------| 
G|-11--11---11--11---11--11---11--11...-----| 
D|------------------------------------------| 
A|------------------------------------------|  
E|------------------------------------------|

e|-------10-------10-------10---------------| 
B|---10-------10-------10-------10----------| 
G|-12--12---12--12---12--12---12--12...-----| 
D|------------------------------------------| 
A|------------------------------------------|  
E|------------------------------------------|
Edge often combines the above arpeggioed notes into chords - particularly towards the end of the song. He sometimes throws in this riff as well:

Code:
e|-------------------------| 
B|-13---12-12-10-10-12-10--| 
G|-12---12-12-11-11-12-11--| 
D|-------------------------| 
A|-------------------------|  
E|-------------------------|
At certain points (particularly the "cry without weeping" line), he does a few hammer-ons and sometimes combines it with the previous riff, like so:

Code:
e|-10---10----10--------------------10-----------10---------------------------------| 
B|-10---10----10----10---10----10---10--------10----10------13---12-12-10-10-12-10--| 
G|-11---11----11h12-11---11h12-11---11--11h12----------12---12---12-12-11-11-12-11--| 
D|-0--0-----0-------0----0-----0--0-------------------------------------------------| 
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then there's the bit that fuhuchs tabbed. Edge varies the way he plays that, as well.

And that's the song, basically! I hope I haven't forgotten any key sections...just play around with that for a bit and you should be able to get a feel for the song.
