The Silver Lining Transcribed by Collin Burgemeestre (muad_zin@htomail.com) This song is from the early, early days and later became 11 o'clock tick tock. I transcribed it from a bootleg. 11 o'clock tick tock was always one of my favorites so hearing and transcribing this different version was great! The lyrics were more difficult than the music so I'm not sure about them. The beginning is missing and starts just before the singing starts. I assume the beginning is like 11 o'clock tick tock. It is therefore handy to keep the 11 o'clock tick tock transcribtion alongside. I did an used parts of the 11 o' clock transcription. As always with U2, tune down one semitone. The intro is probably like 11 o'clock so look down below. The main riff is also the same. Intro (open string is optional)- Palm mute........................... harmonics....
