Crumbs From Your Table - U2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Song:Crumbs From Your Table

Band: The one and only U2

Album: How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb

Tabbed by: Timmy

Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)

This is a cool song with lots of different parts to it. This is another

one of my favorites from the newer U2 album and I decided to figure

out the whole thing. Here's my shot at it and I hope you like it. Also,

If you do like it, please rate it!

INTRO: Guitar 1: Pretty simple, easy to get the hang of this.

e|------0--------0-------0-------0----------0-------0----------|
B|----12-12----12-12---10-10---10-10------12-12---12-12--------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---------------------------11~--------|
D|--12-12-12-11-11-11/9--7---12~--------|
A|---------------------------10~--------|
E|--------------------------------------|

MAIN RIFF: This is used throughout the song with two guitar parts

and the 1st guitar changes just slightly on the second line.

Guitar 1: This is the lead.

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--7-99999999--77--99999-9h11-9h11-9h11--7-99999999-7-666/4-6-7-7/99--|

D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2: Plays this underneath the lead, it's easy to hear so you

can just listen to the song and pick out the timing.

e|-------------------------------|
B|----12--10~----------12--10~---|
G|-------------------------------|
D|--12---------------12----------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|

VERSE 1: Just uses power chords and play this 4x

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|--7777--------7777---------------|
D|--7777--55555-7777--7--x55-------|
A|--5555--55555-5555--7--x55-------|
E|--------33333-------5--x33-------|

PRECHORUS: Starts playing before the verse ends completely.

e|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6h7-6h7-6h7-6h7------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------5-----5---4---------5----5---4-----------|
E|------------------3---3-3---5--333----3--3-3---5-333------|

CHORUS: "And you speak...." Played exactly like the Intro,

e|------0--------0-------0-------0----------0-------0----------|
B|----12-12----12-12---10-10---10-10------12-12---12-12--------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--12-------12------12------11---------12------12-------------|

G|---------------------------11~--------|
D|--12-12-12-11-11-11/9--7---12~--------|
A|---------------------------10~--------|
E|--------------------------------------|

Then, after every chorus, go into the Main Riff.

VERSE 2: Same as the Prechorus and is played in place of

the chords that you used in the 1st Verse. Then to Chorus.

e|--------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A----5-----5---4---------5----5---4-----------|
E|----3---3-3---5--333----3--3-3---5-333------|

BRIDGE: "Where you live should not decide..." Played like the

Intro except you don't add the extra ending. Play 2x

e|------0--------0-------0-------0-------|

the 2nd solo which also serves as an outro.
