4th of July - The Unforgettable Fire, 1984

4th of July - The Unforgettable Fire, 1984

Music by Adam Clayton and The Edge
Transcribed by Brandon Leniart

This song really isn't a song, it was recorded back during
the Unforgettable Fire demo sessions on a 4 track recorder
in Adam's house. Adam didn't even know he was being
recorded, he was simply noodling around with Edge. When
they listened to the tape afterwards, they thought it
sounded interesting and put it on as an intro to the 1st
side of the album. The 24 karat gold CD of "The
Unforgettable Fire" has a slightly longer version of this.
Shake the notes slightly to get the right dreamy kind of
atmosphere the song creates.

(delay with many repeats, put as much reverb as possible)
