Biography:
U2 is an Irish alternative rock band from Dublin formed in 1976. The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic sound built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's effects-based guitar textures.

Angel of Harlem - U2 submitted by Warren Black
I am frustrated with the other versions of this song that are listed on the net so
I would set it straight. The KEY to getting this song right is applying the CORRECT
and
& F chords.
Tuning: Standard EBGDAE
Chords: The F, G & Am chords during the breaks and chorus’s are played as per normal.
the C & F’s during the intro & verses are played as such: the C is as per normal but with
pinky finger on string 1, fret 3. The F in the verse’s is played, from the C shape
by merely dropping fingers 2 & 3 (the two middle ones) one string down each, your
and index figures stay where they are throughout all the C-F changes. Thus the change
C to F and back to C again during the verse’s is done by merely moving fingers 2 & 3 up or
one string each.
Strum: In the verse’s the C is played two down-one up with a change into F which is
down-up, down-up and then back into C again. Listen to the song intro and you will
Try changing the strum pattern in the break & chorus for maximum effect
It takes some practice to get right but when you do it sounds awesome!
