From swede@email.unc.edu Sun May 4 11:15:36 1997 From Fred Lidskog Wonderwall, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis. Song can be found on the album "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" and was released as a single in the UK and the US. I've seen alot of transcriptions of this song that have the correct chords listed, but have left out the song's guitar fills, the parts played by the second and third guitar, and the often overlooked (and faintly heard) riff at the very end of the track, so here goes. To play this song along with the CD, you must put a capo behind the 2nd fret and play the following chords. All tablature positions are relative to the capo. Chords used: EADGBe Em7 (022033) G (320033) Dsus4 (xx0233) A7sus4 (x02033) Cadd9 (x32033) Dsus4/F# (2x0233) [note:some people think this is a G/F# (200033)] Here's the rythym of how the chord in the verses should be played: Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 e--3--3--3--3-3-3-3-3--3--3-3--3-3-3--3--3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---- B--3--3--3--3-3-3-3-3--3--3-3--3-3-3--3--3-3-3--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---- G--0--0--0--0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0--0-2-2--2--2-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0---- D--2--2--2--2-2-2-0-0--0--0-0--0-0-0--0--0-0-2--2--0-2-2-0-2-2-0---- A--2--2--2--2-2-2-2-2--2--2-2----------------0--0----0-0-0-0-0------ E--0--0--0--0-0-0-3-3--3--3-3--------------------------------------- Verse 1 ------- [NOTE: use the above strumming rythym when playing the verse chords below] [ANOTHER NOTE: play all "A7sus4"'s in the verses the way it is played in the rythym section above.] Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do Cadd9 Dsus4 A7sus4 About you now Verse 2 ------- Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 Backbeat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do Em7 G Dsus4 A7sus4 about you now Pre-chorus ---------- [NOTE: the tab below is what is played by guitars 1 and 3 while guitar 2 plays the chords above the words.
