U2 ? The Ground Beneath Her Feet
(Words by S. Rushdi)

From the soundtrack to the Million Dollar Hotel.

Tabbed by Mark Jones 15/10/00.

This is my interpretation of the song based on Bono and The Edge's
acoustic performance on TFI Friday on St. Patricks Day 2000.

The chords required are:

Bm  : 799777
F#m : 244222
G   : 355433
A   : 577655

This chord progression is used throughout the intro and verses:
Bm (x24432@1)F#m (244222@1)G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)For the intro and first two verses I use this picking:

   Bm (x24432@1)         F#m (244222@1)        G (320003@1)          AE|-7--------0-|-2--------0-|-3--------0-|-5--------0-| (x02220@1)A|---9--------|---4--------|---5--------|---7--------|
D|-------9----|-------4----|-------5----|-------7----|
G|-------7----|-------2----|-------4----|-------6----|
B|-------7----|-------2----|-------3----|-------5----|
E|-------7----|-------2----|-------3----|-------5----|
         ^
    On these bits start with the E string
    And strum up towards the D.

And now for the song:
