U2
If God Will Send His Angels

Transcribed by Billy Pelegrina

As recorded in album U2 Pop

Ok here's U2's If God Will Send His Angels. There was a short
version of this song and i just kept on waiting for someone to
transcribe it, but as no one did, i had to do it! On most of
the song you must play the Rhythm Figures. If you want it to
sound exactly as in the CD, follow the Ryhtm Figures, but I
also provided the chords as playing only the riff is pretty
boring. Remember that when no rhythm figure is mentioned you
must play the chords

Rhyt. Fig. 1 With Wah Wah

On the bridge an acoustic guitar plays the chorus chords while the
Bass Guitar Plays:

G|------------|-----------4-|
D|----3-4-6---|---3-4-6-----|
A|--4-------4-|-4-------4---|
E|------------|-------------|

Rhy Fig 3.
Use the Wah-Wah on this part and just play these chords

(scat Singing)

Now the bass does the same stuff than before, and there is some kinda
hammond on the background which you can simply play:

E|--13-11-9-11--|

and then:

E|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------|
G|------11-------------11-------------11-----|
A|--13------13--11-13------13--11-13------13-|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
This is similar to Rhytm Fig. 3 but it isnt's so litsen to it carefully

And fade away
