IN A LITTLE WHILE tabbed by Brandon Leniart (leniart@juno.com) This is reminiscent of The Playboy Mansion, with its hip hop groove and slinky melody; it's in D major. (this is the basic verse, but Edge varies it slightly from time to time) 1----------------------------------------------------------------- 2----------5---------------------------7-----------------------7-- 3--------------6--------------------------6----------------7------ 4---5/7-----------7------7/8-----------------8-------8/9*--------- 5----------------------------------------------------------------- 6----------------------------------------------------------------- *this is a stuttery slide 1------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-----------8-----8----7-----------------------------7----7----5---- 3-----------7-----7----7-----------------------------7----7----6---- 4---9----------------------------------x------0--------------------- 5------------------------------------------------------------------- 6------------------------------------------------------------------- (this is added to the verse ) 1------------------------------------------------------ 2------------------------------------------------------ 3------------------------------------------------------ 4--------------------------------------------12-------- 5--------------------------------------12-------------- 6---5---5/6---6/7---7\3---3---/10------------------\5-- (chorus) Bm G D A (in the lead guitar, Edge improvises with these chords) 1--------------x----7--7-----3-----------5---------------- 2--------------x----7--7-----3-----7-----5---------------- 3--------------x----7--7-----4-----7-----6-------4/6\4\2-- 4---7/9----------------------5-----7-----7---------------- 5--------------------------------------------------------- 6--------------------------------------------------------- (bridge) Bm G A Dsus2 A Dsus2 (Edge also improvises with these chords for the bridge) 1---7---3---5-------5------ 2---7---3---5---7---5---7-- 3---7---4---6---7---6---7-- 4---9---5---7---7---7---7-- 5-------------------------- 6-------------------------- (there is a xylophone-like sound here) 1---7---5---7---5----------7-- 2------------------------7---- 3----------------------------- 4----------------------------- 5----------------------------- 6----------------------------- ============================================================== ---------------------- U2 - IN A LITTLE WHILE ---------------------- Track 08 of "All That You Can't Leave Behind" Release Date: October 30th, 2000 Tab made by Michele Rossi with his acoustic guitar 'Washburn D-10 N' and Notepad (October 27th, 2000).

The first time you listen to this song, you're a little surprised, maybe you don't like that. But hearing after hearing you discover that it's full of love and passion, and that it's also very fascinating. Bono & Co. recorded after a night far from home, maybe a night of drinking spree. ;) The voice of Bono is authentic and the melody is simple but cool. A clear example of the 'TITANIUM SOUL' Bono talked about. Great!

Play Riff 1 over the verses. Edge keeps it pretty constant with very few variations throughout, so listen closely and have fun with it. Definately listen to the track for rhythm. For the chorus, just play barre chords.

The chords should read for the verse A F# Bm G D A The previous person said that the second chord was an A#m; ouch! That's way wrong. Please note also that the bluesy sound that you hear in the song suggests some slight modifications to these Base chords like instead of A maybe it is an A7 or something. Take care, Peter.
