Love Is Blindness Ver 1 by U2
U2 - Love Is Blindness ver 1 bass tab
U2 - Love is blindness
To play this song properly will require a detune or a 5-string. I'll tab both.
In the recording, there may be effects on the bass to give it that throbbing sound. But this song is
playable without any pedals or anything; just play the first note hard, then the consecutive ones softer.
Drop D tuning:
