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.
