This progression leads into the verse:

Oh child wipe the tears from your eyes
E A
You know I need you to be strong
D D*
When the day is dark as the night is long
C#m B
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
A Asus4 A
I'm in the black can't see or be seen
C#m B A Asus4 A
Baby, Baby, Baby, Light my way...
(repeat this pattern for the rest of the verse)
Verse2 - same chords as Verse 1
** note: during part of verse 2 where Bono sings "I guess that's the
price of love, I know it's not cheap...", add this little fill on
the guitar instead of playing the C#m, B, A, and Asus4 chords:
e--------------------------
b--------------------------
g--8-9-6---8-9-6---8-9-6--- (listen to get timing down)
BRIDGE:
e-------------------------------------
b-9-10-9-10-9-10-9-10-10-9------------ Repeat thru bridge
g-9-9--9-9--9-9--9-9--9--9------------
d-9-9--9-9--9-9--9-9--9--9------------
After Bono sings "Baby, baby, baby, light my way...,"
Add this little fill, which Edge used in concert:
e-0--0---0-------0-------0----------------------
b-0--0-----0-------0-----2----------------------
g-1--1-------1-------1---2----------------------
d-2--2-------------------2----------------------
a-2--2-------------------0----------------------
e-0--0------------------------5--4-5-4-5-4-0----
**note, this is played right before "I remember when we could sleep..."
For the rest of the song, just repeat the same chords for the verse
and use that little 8-9-6 fill for the end of the song.
HAVE FUN!
