I completely love it. Together with Heartland and Van Diemen's Land they're the hidden gems of Rattle And Hum, not many people know about them, but they're great

It's very easy. I don't know how to speak of chords and notes in English (I hate l that all that E#suck, Csus_fuck and Bm7 stuff) , so I will give you a tab:

Do you know how to read tabs, Ali? The "e" charachter points the thinest string of the guitar, and the "E" is the biggest string. Easy.

That one is not mine, I have to say it. I wrote another one, a bit different, a few ago. That one is from ultimate-guitar.com if I recall right. This is the link: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/u/u2/heartland_ver2_tab.htm

My own tab was something like that:

e----6---8---6------------------------6----6-----8---6---------------------
B---4--------------8---8---6---------4-------------------6-----8------8--6
G--5---------------7------------------5-------------------------7-----------
D-------------------------------------
A---nothing here...
E----

e-----6---------5-------5--------3--------5-------5------3-
B----4-------5-------5---------3--------5-------5------3---
G----5----
D----------
A---
E----

I'm not a genious nor a great musician, but I have a good ear if I might say that. Don't trust this 100%, but to have a nice time playing easily, this will be ok.

I found the perfect song for me. Have A Nice Day by Bon Jovi. If you listen to the lyrics it goes very well with my sarcastic fuck you sense of humor.
