Tune down half a step.
This is the main riff-
 
E-----------------------12--------------------------------------12-----12--
B--------10--9--10----------10--9--10-------10--9--10----9--10-----10----10-9-10
G-----9-----------------------------------9-----------------------------------
 
Edge varies it often during the verses and here are some examples of his
variations.-
 
E-----------------------12---------------12----12s/14s/12----
B--------10--9--10------------9--10-------------------------- another
variation 
G----9---------------------------------------------------------is-
 
E-------------------------------------------
B--------10--9--10--12--10--9--10------- and so on. This should be enough for 
G---9--------------------------------------- you to work with
 
Then there is the break where Edge plays some open chords. He plays A E D A
and then A E D. Listen to the song for the timing. Right after he plays
these chords he does something that sounds pretty much like-
E---------------------0-----------
B----2-------2---3-------3------- a few times.
G--------2---------------------2--
He then goes back to the main riff (and variations thereof) for a bit and
then he plays the following-(hopefully he does something similar on other
versions as well)-
 
E-------------------12----------------12--12s/14s/12--------------------12---10
-------10--9--10--------------9--10---------------------------------10---------
G------9------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
E---9--10--9-------s/12---10--9-------10--9-----------------------12--10--9--10-
B-------------------------------------------------12--10------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
E-12--10--9--10--9------------------12--10--9--10---12--12--12--12--12s/14s/12
B-------------------------12--10------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then it goes back to the main riff. 
 
HAVE FUN!
