-U2: One-
Pluck down: Am chord. Then strum Am, D add2 (E-xoo23o-e), Fmaj7, G

Am--------Dadd2---Fmaj7--------G
Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
It is the same until he starts singing the refrain.
C--------Am------Fmaj7---------C
One love One life, One need in the night
That's pretty much the whole song, little things help make it better but you can figure them out pretty easily.

-U2: Staring at the Sun-
Am---------------G------------F---------------Em
Summer streching on the grass...summer dresses pass ...
It goes like that until the refrain.
----------------C---------------Am-
I'm not the only one starin' at the sun
---------------------D---------D?(xxo23o)--F--
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
------------------C---
Not just deaf and dumb...
Again, there are many little touches that help this song sound better that you can figure out.

-Smashing Pumpkins: 1979-
Most of the song goes like this:
open E + D# on A string 6 times
open E + E on A string 1 time
open E + B on A string 6 times
then open A + G#-G#-A-F#-E-F#-G#-B-B-B on D string
the other part is something like this:
open E + E-E-E-E-E-E-E-D#-D#-D#-B-A on A string once.
That's it.

-Oasis: Wonderwall-(the opening at least)
Capo the second fret. All chords are relative to the capo.
Intro:
#1 E-o22033-e (Em7)
#2 E-320033-e (G)
#3 E-x00233-e (Dsus4)
#4 E-x02033-e (A7sus4)

1--------2----------------
Today is gonna be the day
-----3------------------------------4
That they're gonna throw it back to you
I've seen a few versions of other parts of the song, but they just don't sound right so I just improvise. This is the song that made me buy their album because it got stuck in my head for a week when I first learned to play.

Bush: Glycerine-
Very easy, simple power-chords...
#1 E-133xxx-e
#2 E-x355xx-e
#3 E-x577xx-e
#4 E-x133xx-e
Opening = 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-...
1--------------2---------------3-
It must be your skin I'm sinking in
------------4------------------1---...
Must be for real cos now I can feel...
Slight variation:
...2-------------3-------4---1--------
---Don't let the days go by, glycerine
2-2-4-4-4-4-4-1---...
----------------Glycerine.
Four chords through out the whole song.
