U2 Mothers of the Disappeared

Tom: A Tablatura The main guitar is acoustic, and the 2nd guitar is a distorted electric. How to decipher my notation: top line is guitar type (if it is necessary to point out), 2nd line is lyrics, 3rd line is chord names, 4th is treble rhythm. Then the TAB, and under that is bass rhythm. You'll figure it out. Notation: s - sixteenth note e - eighth note q - quarter note h - half note w - whole note - ties two note lengths together . - play note for one and a half times the value before it (just like a dot in standard notation) NOTE LENGTHS IN CAPITAL LETTERS MEAN REST FOR THAT VALUE OF TIME! / - slide up \ - slide down h - hammer-on p - pull-off (Acoustic guitar - let ring) A A A A e e e q q. e e q. q. q. e e e q q. e e h Q e e q. w h e q. q q. q. h e q.

The book also gives this little fill, but for the life of me, I can't figure out where it is supposed to be played. The book never says.

If you want to play anything closer to the original, look out for the chords on the first line of the tab. A Midnight, our sons and daughters Were cut down and taken from us E D Hear their heartbeat... A We hear their heartbeat In the wind, we hear their laughter In the rain we see their tears Hear their heartbeat..., we hear their heartbeat Night hangs like a prisoner Stretched over black and blue Hear their heartbeat..., we hear their heartbeat In the trees our sons stand naked Through the walls our daughters cry See their tears in the rainfall
