The harmonic pattern above
is repeated for the verse.
It's pretty easy to "feel"
when you should play it.
Chorus
How long? ...To sing this song?
e|-------------------|---------------------|

Play each chord once, and let it ring.
The Edge/Adam play some kind of crazy U2 arpeggio
chords for the E, and i think they play the A bar chord
on the E string, but this sounds just as good.
But, if you REALLY want to play it just like them,
I think they do it like this --
e|-------------------|----------5----------|
B|---------5---------|----------5----------|
G|---------x---------|----------6----------|
D|---------6---------|----------7----------|
A|---------7---------|----------7----------|
E|-------------------|----------5----------|
-- but I'm not sure.
After Bono sings "How long to sing this song?"
go back to the verse harmonics. Again, you'll
have to feel for it.
The song order is Verse/Chorus/Verse/Chorus, and then
the outtro, I guess. In this portion of the song
(which actually winds up being the longest), play
through the verse once or twice, then play
this little riff twice --

B|---------------------|---------------------|
G|---------------------|---------------------|
D|---------------------|---------------------|
A|---16----14----12----|----12----14----7----|

Then go back to the harmonics and kind of fade out
of the song slowly.
Two, three, four
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the mire and clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long?
How long, to sing this song?
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song?

How long, how long, how long?
