As performed at Glastonbury 2011, acoustically by The Edge backing and harmonising with Bono.

Performance notes
=================

A slightly different take on a wonderful song. Note the top two strings ring the whole 
time, giving that plangent, ethereal feel.

Standard tuning but detuned half A step - Eb Ab C# 
F# Bb Eb

NB the chords are named according to the fingering below - but as the guitar is detuned, 
E is actually an Eb!
