Comments:

This bassline is pretty simple, but it goes by fast. I wrote the measures

as sets of 3 quarter notes (counted: ONE, two, three, ONE, two, three...)

but often, especially during the verse and solo, it's jazzed up a bit.

So the bassline: --0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--

is sometimes played: --00--0-00-0-0--00--0-00-0-0--

But it's up to you to decide when and where to switch it up.

Generally, the simpler version is played while Bono is singing.

That's all. Enjoy.
