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.

Amazing song about Bono's relationship with his Dad. The way the verse is played is tabbed below, and the pre-chorus, chorus and bridge are all just strummed. At the end there is a mini-solo for over the start of the bridge. ENJOY - THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT!!
AG/A We fight all the time F#m/ADsus2 You and I... that's alright A We're the same soul AG/A I don't need... I don't need to hear you say F#m/ADsus2 That if we weren't so alike A You'd like me a whole lot more
