Or this:

Later plays this:(*=Harmonics)RIFF 1
E---------------------12--0--15--14--------------------------------------|

Now this:RIFF 2 (where Bono sings "hear the children crying..")
E------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Edge varies this next part but it will give you the basic idea. Here is a
slight variation which I actually prefer:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----12-------10---------12------------------------------17--------15-----|
G9--------9---------9----------9--12--11--9----------14-------14-------14-|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----14--------------15--14-----------|
B------------------------------15-----|
G--------------14---------------------|
D-------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------|
repeat the intro riff and the riff 2 then the above chorus harmonics,then the
main riff again and then this:
RIFF 3
E----------------------0-----------------------------0------0------0---|
B------------------------0------------------------------0-----0------0-|
G----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D5--7--5--4--0--2---------------5--7--5--4--0--2-----------------------|

Now the solo is hard to tab this part but use this guide...
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B12--12--12--10--10--10--10--10------------10--------10------10---------|
G14--14--14--12--12--11--12--11----9-------12--------11-------12----11--|

Now plays this harmonics (This is a guide)
E-------12---------------------------------------------------------------|
B------------12------------------------------------------7---------------|
G-----------------12------------------------7------------------7---------|
D----------------------12------------7------------7----------------------|
A--------------------------------7---------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm pretty sure about the next bit:
E---------12---------------12--------------------12-----------------7-------|
B7------------------------------7-------7-----------------------------7-----|
G----7------------------------------7------7------------------7----------7--|
D-------------7-----7---------------------------------7--7------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then RIFF 3 is played.Now for the second solo this use structures for the first one.And
outro or end of the song play this:
E-------------------------------|
B-------------------------------|
G-------------------------------| and I think the final chord is Em.
D----7--7--5--4--4h5--5---------|
A-------------------------------|

A--7--7--5--5--7--7--5--5--7--7--5--5--------------------------
E--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--------------------------
This is the main riff-
-|-----------------------7--------------------------------------|
-|-9-9-7-7-9-9-7-7---------------8-8-7-7-8-8-7-7----------------|
-|-9-9-7-7-9-9-7-7-9-7-9---------9-9-7-7-9-9-7-7-9-7-9----------|
-|-----------------------------------------------------7--------|
-|--------------------------------------------------------------|
-|--------------------------------------------------------------|
I will call the next bit RIFF 1 (*=harmonics)-
E---------------------12--0--15--14--------------------------------------
B0--12(*)----0--10---------------------12------0--12(*)-------------12---
G----------------------------------------------------------------9-------

A------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------12-----------------
B-------10----------------------
G---9--------------------9s/7---
D-------------------------------
A-------------------------------
E-------------------------------
I will call the next riff (where Bono sings "hear the children crying..")
RIFF 2-
E------------------------------------------------------------------------
B---------12---------10----------12-------------12--10-------------------
G----9----------9-----------9------------9-----------------9-------------
D------------------------------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------------------

G----14------------14-------------14---------------14--------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edge varies the above riff but it will give you the basic idea. Here is a
slight variation which I actually prefer-
E------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----12-------10---------12------------------------------17--------15----
G9--------9---------9----------9--12--11--9----------14-------14-------14
D------------------------------------------------------------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----14--------------15--14-----------
B------------------------------15-----
G--------------14---------------------
D-------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------
The last time Edge plays the riff he finishes with the high note on the 15th
fret. He then
goes back to the main riff and then plays RIFF 1 with a slight slight
variation right at the
end-
E--------15-----------17--14---
B-------------15---------------
G------------------------------
Then RIFF 2 is played and during the chorus Edge plays some harmonics-
E---------------12-------------------7--------------------5---
B----------12-----------------7---------------------5---------
G-----12----------------7--------------------5----------------
D------------------------------------------------------------- x 2
A-------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------
It then goes back to the main riff, then Riff 2, then the above chorus
harmonics, then the
main riff again and then this-
RIFF 3-
E----------------------0-----------------------------0------0------0---
B------------------------0------------------------------0-----0------0-
G----------------------------------------------------------------------
D5--7--5--4--0--2---------------5--7--5--4--0--2-----------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the solo. It is quite hard to tab so ad lib and play around with it
a bit but you can
use this as a guide-
E---------------------------------------------------------------------
B12--12--12--10--10--10--10--10------------10--------10------10------
G14--14--14--12--12--11--12--11----9-------12--------11-------12----11

B--20--20--19--19--19s/--17--17--15--15--12--12--8--8--5--5--5s/8--8------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the harmonics. Again use this as a guide-
E-------12------------------------------------------------------------
B------------12------------------------------------------7------------
G-----------------12------------------------7------------------7------
D----------------------12------------7------------7--------------------
A--------------------------------7-------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure about the next bit-
E---------12---------------12--------------------12-----------------7-------
B7------------------------------7-------7-----------------------------7-----
G----7------------------------------7------7------------------7----------7--
D-------------7-----7---------------------------------7--7------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then RIFF 3 is played. For the second solo ad lib using the structures from
the first one.
The song ends on this-
E-----------------------------
B------------------------------
G----------------------------- and I think the final chord is Em.
D----7--7--5--4--4h5--5-------
