I saw all of the other tabs for this song and they are all either wrong or they are the bass 
line for the song, so i tab this by ear, 2:30hrs. It took this amount of time cause i was 
playin Basket Case in between. Tell me what you think and have fun.

A few notes:

1) Ever since I misplaced my Infinite Guitar I've had to cope with 
conventional effects. What I use instead is a BOSS delay pedal set to 0.4 sec
with a feedback rate of about 70% maximum (the arrow points directly right).
I also turn up the reverb on my amp to about half of maximum. You may have 
to gently repluck strings especially at the beginning of the song.

2) It is important to turn off the delay when indicated, otherwise the sound 
will all flood together.

3) Most of this is from the Joshua Tree song book. It's somewhat simplified
but will still sound about the same. The end is from Rattle & Hum (the movie)

4) The lyrics are above the music.

notation guide:
(#) - hold note on #th fret (see above)
