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.
