This should be F#m to D, but Bmin to G sounds pretty good. 8)



>finaly, that little riff that the edge plays after bono sings "all I want, is   

>you" is just the first little riff with the ocassional sus2 chord thrown in.    

>hopefully i'll have time to make a better transcription of this song sometime.

>it would sure help to have my guitar with me when I hear it next...

In order to play along with the song, use G, C, and Em, and capo on the 

first fret....



(capo 1st fret)



    G         C

You say...you want....

        Em          C

All the promises we make

         Em            C

From the cradle to the grave

     G     C       G

When All I Want Is You



(these are the same sounding chords to U2's "Numb" if you want to try a 

weird cover version combining two songs)



I try to get by on Edge's riffs with something like:

-3-3-3-3-3-3--0-0-0-0-0-0---

-0-0-0-0-0-0--1-1-0-1-3-1---

-0-0-2-0-2-0--0-0-0-0-0-0---

-0-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2-2---

----------------------------

The strings in the end use a G7, C, G, progression I believe.

I think U2 plays this in A, tuned down half a step.  I use G because I 

like the sound.

ALL I WANT IS YOU (U2)



INTRO: G (320033) C (x32010) (repeat)

       For an intro riff, I alternate the second-string D and the 

       open G on the G chord, then the open high E and G of the C,

       adding appropriate bass notes:

       G (d"d" g"d" g"d" ) C (g"e" g"e" g"e" g") (repeat)



    G       C      G                    C

You say you want a diamond on a ring of gold

    G       C         G                 C

You say you want your story to remain untold



                Em             C              Em            C

CHORUS: All the promises we've made, from the cradle to the grave

             G     C       G (into intro riff)

        When all I want is you



You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it

Treasure just to look upon it, all the riches in the night

You say you'll give me eyes on a moon of blindness

A river in a time of dryness, a harbor in the tempest



CHORUS



BRIDGE: All I want is you (falsetto, over intro riff)



You way you want our love to work out right

To last with me through the night

And you say you want a diamond on a ring of gold

Your story to remain untold, your love not to grow cold



CHORUS: But all the promises we break...



BRIDGE to fade
