Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of (Acoustic)
-U2-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Tabbed by: Robert Healy

Tuning: The original acoustic version uses Open E tuning (EBEG#Be) but if you
try to tune up to it without light gauge strings, you'll most likely break
them. It is best to tune to Open D (DADF#AD) and then Capo 2. I'm confident
that this is 100% correct.

E E/G# A B C#m OR F# F#m
