This is the transcription for U2's new song 'Hold me, Thrill me,
Kiss me, Kill me'. I'm not sure if it's in tune with the CD or
not, enjoy...

The posted material for this song has the right words and structure but
completely incorrect music.

U2: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

The verses are in D except for the part like:
"in the [G] headlights of a [F] stretch car"

The chorus riff is:

e -12-10-9-10-12-|----------------
B ---------------|-11-13-11-10----
G ---------------|----------------
D ---------------|----------------
A ---------------|----------------
E ---------------|----------------
over the chords |D / / / | Bb / A /|

That's all there is to it, just make some crazy tone to make it sound good.
