Window in the skies - U2
- Revised from my first attempt, a few listens-through sitting at the piano helped.
This song was actually probably written on Piano, The verse progression actually is like this:
G Gsus4/f G/e Gsus4/c
Gsus4/d Gsus4/c G Am
But that's no small feat on guitar, so the chords below work fine, but work best when
with a piano or keyboard.
Also, the song is in 6/8, which is a bit tricky for some guitarists.
Chords Used:
G D2/f Em7 Cadd9 d
F#m B2
