Electrical Storm

Biography:

U2 is an Irish alternative rock band from Dublin formed in 1976. The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic sound built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's effects-based guitar textures.

[Intro]
F#m A E B (x2)

[Verse 1]
F#m A E B F#m A E B
The sea it swells like a sore head and the night it is aching
F#m A E B
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
F#m A E B
And the day it is breaking
F#m A E B
On rainy days we'd go swimming out
F#m A E B
On rainy days swimming in the sound
F#m A E B
On rainy days we'd go swimming out

[Pre-Chorus]
D E A C#m

For love and only love

Car alarm won't let you back to sleep

[chords]

Verse chords : that's what the Edge uses :

F#m A E B
e|--2---5---7----7---|
B|--2---5---5----7---|
G|--2---6---5----5---|
D|--4---7---5----9---|
A|--4---7---7----9---|
E|--2---5--------7---|

In the Chorus and pre-chorus Bono uses :

D A E B Bsus4 C#m
e|--2---0---0--------------4-|
B|--3---2---0----4----5----6-|
G|--2---2---1----4----4----5-|
D|--0---2---2----4----4----5-|
A|------0---2----2----2----4-|
E|----------0----------------|

In the end of the Chorus you can make a small variation of B in Bsus4
If you want to play like the live version (or the remix version), you can use chords of the verse in the first
pre-chorus and add the chorus with chords of the verse after the pre-chorus. Timing might not be perfect
because it slightly differs from a version to another.
