To learn U2 - (Remastered 2008) The Refugee chords, your practice should emphasize these chord progressions: E, A, B, A, B and E. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 75 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 151. Given the song's key of F Major, adjust the capo to align with your vocal range and chord preference.
