U2 - White As Snow Chords & Tabs

WHITE AS SNOW
U2 - NO LINE ON THE HORIZON

Here's White as Snow, one of my favorite songs from No Line on the Horizon.  It's not as 
as it looks; just use power chord shapes for for each set of notes and maintain the 
strumming pattern.  The lyrics are NOT lined up with the tab.
