B------5--7----7-7---------5--7-----7---7---
G---7--7--7----7-7------7--7--7-------------

A--------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------

Repeat the main riff a few times.

Play D5 and A chords for the verse
E------------------------------------------------------

D5
Monday morning 18 years are dawning

A
I say how long, I say how long  etc.

For the chorus play G5, A5 and B5 chords and arpeggiate
them to finish with.

G5                     A5
I had a feeling it has out of control

G5       A5
You say, out of control

G5      A5      G5       A5    B5    A5
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhh.... ohhh, ohhh, ohhh

  G5 A5 G5 A5  G5    A5     G5      A5     B5      A5
E----------------------------------------------------
B-8--10-8--10----8-----10-----8-------10-----12------
G-7--9--7--9-------7------9-----7--------9------11---
D-5--7--5--7---5----/7-----\5------/7-----/9-------7-
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------

That's basically the whole song except for the solo and
bridge:

E--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14--
B--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--
G----------------------------------------------------
repeat

E------------------------10----10------------
B-10b(12)-10b(12)r-10-------10---------------
G-------------------------------------------
repeat

Then play the whole thing again.

Edge sometimes finished with this ending:

E--------------------------------------
B--10b(12)--12b(14)--14b(16)--15b(17)--
G--------------------------------------

After the solo Edge plays some palm muted notes for
the bridge (this was the hardest bit to figure out)...

Finish off the bridge with this when Bono starts
shouting 'Outta control...':
