After this it’s G Major played on the 3rd fret (barre chord). This is played

Hope this helps

If you want to learn U2 The Ocean guitar chords, The 5 chords we’ll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major.
The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments.
Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart

The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play The Ocean. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it.
