Vertigo
Music by U2
Tabbed by Eric Danielson (edaniels73@hotmail.com) 9-25-04
This is my first tab... not perfect, but enough to get you started.
I play this one with Drop D tuning.
Listen to the song to get a feel for the strumming...
The majority of the song is simply these riffs played in a simple pattern.
It's easy to figure out once you get the tuning, and these basic riffs figured out.

B--------x------x-----x-x-----------
G--------x------x-----x-x----------- RPT...
D--------x------x-----x-x----------
