e-----------------------------------------

That's basically it. Just remember to tune your guitar down a 1/2 step.
I also encourage playing along to the song to understand my tab.
Enjoy.

*All I Want Is You--This is in A, and it's tuned
town a 1/2 step. I didn't look at the solo you had, but
basically it's an octave above the beginning of the solo.
The 2 opening chords aren't A and D, it's really a D
variant, which is just D without fingering the F# on the
1st string, and leaving the 1st string open.

*All I Want Is You (Live)*
Transcribed by Gianluigi Bisleri(gluigibisleri@galactica.it)
Hey everyone!This is a tab of "All I want is you" as performed live by
U2 during their
great concert in Reggio Emilia,Italy.
INTRO: Bono begins without music,then Edge fades in with his
Stratocaster(capo on
the 2nd fret; tuning 1/2 step down; some delay )playing
this chords:
- A and D(this one without fingering the high E)during
the verse
- F# and D during the chorus
Then Edge plays his mini-solo:
e- - - - - - - - - - - - - -0-0-0-0- - - -
b- -2-2-0-2- -0-2-3-3-3-3-3- - - -          Then back again to the verse

and chorus.
For the final solo the one on the archive is O.K. ,you have only to
change the key(on that
version you don't use a capo on the 2nd fret).

> > >with thumb...
>
>A///D///A///D/// play a couple of times...then
>
>Bmin///G///Bmin///G///
This should be F#m to D, but Bmin to G sounds pretty good. 8)
>finaly, that little riff that the edge plays after bono sings "all I want, is
>you" is just the first little riff with the ocassional sus2 chord thrown in.
>hopefully i'll have time to make a better transcription of this song sometime.
>it would sure help to have my guitar with me when I hear it next...
In order to play along with the song, use G, C, and Em, and capo on the
first fret....
(capo 1st fret)
You [G]say...you [C]want....
All the [Em]promises we [C]make
From the [Em]cradle to the [C]grave
When [G]All I [C]Want Is [G]You
(these are the same sounding chords to U2's "Numb" if you want to try a
weird cover version combining two songs)
I try to get by on Edge's riffs with something like:
-3-3-3-3-3-3--0-0-0-0-0-0---
-0-0-0-0-0-0--1-1-0-1-3-1---
-0-0-2-0-2-0--0-0-0-0-0-0---
-0-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2-2---
----------------------------
----------------------------

The strings in the end use a G7, C, G, progression I believe.

I think U2 plays this in A, tuned down half a step. I use G because I
like the sound.

ALL I WANT IS YOU (U2)
INTRO: G (320033) C (x32010) (repeat)
For an intro riff, I alternate the second-string D and the
open G on the G chord, then the open high E and G of the C,
adding appropriate bass notes:
G (d"d" g"d" g"d" ) C (g"e" g"e" g"e" g") (repeat)
You [G]say you [C]want a [G]diamond on a ring of [C]gold
You [G]say you [C]want your [G]story to remain un[C]told
CHORUS: All the [Em]promises we've [C]made, from the [Em]cradle to the [C]grave
G C G (into intro riff)
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it, all the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes on a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness, a harbor in the tempest
CHORUS
BRIDGE: All I want is you (falsetto, over intro riff)
You way you want our love to work out right
To last with me through the night
And you say you want a diamond on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold, your love not to grow cold
CHORUS: But all the promises we break...
BRIDGE to fade
