Jazzbo is right, by the way. The entire song is how he described it - Adam Clayton just hammers out those root notes on the top string. Honest!
That's correct - just keep those roots pumping. This was one of the first songs I learnt on bass. It's a great song despite the simple bassline. I really like U2's early work. Not too keen with their later albums, but their latest album is better.
