U2 - "New Years Day" BASS TAB
---------------------------
Rens van den Braak (optical_reality@hotmail.com)
This is the ‘New Years Day’ bass tab from the ‘Live at Slane Castle Ireland’ DVD. I know
this one is the right one to play because I watched Adam Clayton playing it on the DVD many
times and it was quite irritating because the camera never stood still :P You can also
use the bass tab on the ‘war’ version but then some notes are cut out. But here it is:
Tune down 1/2 step to: Eb Ab Db Gb
~ = Let Ring
I call the first Piano-part ‘intro’ and the 2nd piano part ‘Bridge’

| In a general way, this song is written about the civil and social problems in Poland at the time. Coincidently, Poland did away with marshal law that year, On New Year's Day 1984. U2 1, POLAND O. ;) | |

| All in all, it's a love song. It has haunting piano and a cool bass line. It reminds of calm in the middle of a storm. | |
