Written by Bono/Adam Clayton/The Edge/Larry Mullen, Jr.
The most important thing is that you use Delay, otherwise you can?t play the song as it was meant to be! In the verses when you have to play palm muted it?s important that you use the dimpled of your plectrum, is you don?t have dimpled plectrums than you can?t play the song as it meant to be! Also you your palm mute gently!
