  *corrections-*Zoo Station--This song is in A, and I think the 
  tab shows the song like 1-  10     10-  In reality it would 
                          2- 8     8   -
  
  look like this:         1-    12    12   which would keep it
                          2- 10    10
  
  in the key of A.  This isn't a huge change, but necessary.
  (from Leniart, Brandon K (leniarbk@jmu.edu))
  
  
  Use heavy distortion and make the slides heard.

      Zoo Station(live)
  
  Transcribed by Richard Zangoli.
  I transcribed this song from the Live in Sydney video but most versions
  don't differ much at all. This should be used with the transcription to this
  song already on the U2 Guitar Archive(mainly to show where the chord changes
  are made).
  
  Intro-
  E--------------------------
  B-------------------------
  G------------------------
  D----------------------------
  A----------------------------
  E--17s/-------3----5---------
  
  Slide the note on the 17th fret all the way up the fretboard to the 3rd
  fret. However, while sliding it up the string, keep on picking it (quite
  quickly) with both up and down strokes and then play the 3rd and 5th fret
  notes. After playing this a couple of times play this-
  E-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  G----------------------------------------------------------------------------etc.
  D----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  A-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  E--17s/----3---5-----5--5---5---5---5---5--------17s/-------3--5----5---5---5--
  
  Now for the nice riff that Edge plays (here and during the chorus). Form
  what I hear he 
  picks 2 chords-
  (X X 12 9 10 12) and (X X 11 9 10 12). This will give you and idea of how to
  pick it-
  
  E-------------------12-------------------12--------------------12-------------
  B-------10-----------------10-------------------10-------------------10-----10
  G-------------9----------------------------------------------------------9----
  D-12------------------------------12--------------------12--------------------
  A-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  E-------------------12------------------12-------------------12---------------
  B--------10---------------10-------------------10-----------------10--------10
  G----------------9--------------------------------------------------------9--
  D11------------------------------11-------------------11----------------------
  A-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Play this riff a few times. I think Edge varies it a bit but that's the
  basic idea.
  
  For the verses there isn't much guitar (mainly bass) but it sounds good to
  play palm 
  muted power chords (of A G and D, which are the verse chords). That is, A
  (577xxx), 
  G(355xxx) and D(10 12 12 X X X). Alternatively, you could play just the last
  note of the 
  chords instead (on the big E string). Look to the other transcription for
  the chord changes. 
  Also, listen for Edge playing the intro riff(the slide from the 17th fret)
  during the verses every now and then.
  
  Just before Bono starts singing "It's alright, it's alright..." there is a
  pre-recorded 
  synthesiser playing this-
  
  E---17--17--17--17--17--17--17---15--15--15--15--15--15s/--
  B---17--17--17--17--17--17--17---15--15--15--15--15--15s/--      X2
  G---------------------------------------------------------
  D---------------------------------------------------------
  A-----------------------------------------------------------
  E----------------------------------------------------------
  
  Then Edge plays and A power chord a few times (it sounds good if you play
  this bit with 
  a wah-wah or something similar) -
  E-----------------------------------------------
  B--10--10--10--10--10--10--x--x--10--10--10--10--
  G--9----9---9---9---9---9--x--x---9---9---9---9- etc...
  D--7----7---7---7---7---7--x--x---7---7---7---7-- 
  A-----------------------------------------------
  E-------------------------------------------------
  
  Then the only other bit is the outro and it goes something like this-
  
  E-------------------------------------------------------------------
  B---------------10----10----8--7--8-----10--10--10--10-----8--7--8---etc..
  and finish
  G----------------9-----9----9--9--9------9---9---9---9-----9--9--9---
  on the A
  D----11--9---7---7--7--7-----------------7---7---7---7------------
  power chord.
  A-------------------------------------------------------------------
  E---------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  That should have all the guitar parts. Expect some more tabs from me during 
  December/January. Bye,
