"Your Body is a Wonderland" (live version)

Song by: John Mayer

Standard tuning with capo on 1st fret

Tab is made WITHOUT regard to capo so a "1" on the A
string is really played open.  Also, I finger-pick
the whole thing and the "xxx" means hitting the
strings with you hand not muffled.  If you can play this,
I am assuming you know what a slide, hammer, palm mute,
bend and staccato (quick note) are and look like.
There are other tabs without a capo but I like mine.

 SOLO...sort of. (rythem = one ee and a two ee and a etc...)
 This is tricky because you have to quickly hit-mute-staccato.
 Ive added the base line in parentheses for no particular reason.

Great tab amigo. peace

mic	January 16, 2003, 3:07
your tab really kicks ass

trex of @bacs	January 16, 2003, 6:12
This tab is realy great

John	January 19, 2003, 17:32
Good tab. This is not the way John plays it though. Not that anyone was asking. I think the way he plays it is actually easier.

simmer down na	January 24, 2003, 7:47
This is a good tab but i have found that playing with a capo gets the same sound. This allows you to add more color notes as well with much more ease. I say think zen, less is more.

the creator (chad)	January 28, 2003, 0:36
ive realized that instead of constantly plucking the 5&6 on the G&B string, you can just pluck the E&B strings open (if you have the capo of course). that should make it a bit easier to play.

Anton	February 12, 2003, 4:13
does this song have chords to it

Tyler	February 13, 2003, 3:00
What's a capo...I play the E&B strings open regular and it sounds just fine...?

adam	February 14, 2003, 20:40
tyler, a capo is something that bars all of the strings for you at a fret. And if you scroll up john is right, if you see a video of him playing it it actually is the low E dropped to a D and it is a lot easier than this tab. but it is a good tab

steve	February 24, 2003, 20:58
i think this tab looks good but why doesnt anyone tab out the riff the backround guitar makes, i think thats the coolest thing in the song, and the whole song is based off of it too

John Mayer	February 27, 2003, 6:57
To whoever created this fucking tab, I'm gonna kick your butt for this isn't the right tab for my song!!!

BLitz	March 2, 2003, 6:14
Very funny. hahahahaha. cool!

Victor	March 13, 2003, 1:29
This tab is great but since I learned wonderland playing it in drop d tuning I was hoping someone can tab out the crazy solo from any given thursday DVD. you know anyone that can do that?

eirik

March 26, 2003, 21:41

this tab is fucking bad... this is not/NoT/NOT the way john plays it. it is in drop d and its like this:

e-
h-
g---10---10----10---10---
d---10---10----10---10---
a-8----------------------
e-----------10----------- t t
it continiues here...
e------------------------
h------------------------
g---10---10----10---10---
d---10---10----10---10---
a------------------------
e-8---------10----------- t t

eirik (again)	March 26, 2003, 21:52
actually the right tab is written .... if u go to www.guitartabs.com and goes on john mayer`s link u will find the right one )the whole song)

eirik ( the last time now)	March 26, 2003, 21:56
if u chose the first alternative the one )john mayer tabs) and something with DMB or something u will come to a site with a lot of john mayer tabs. scroll down to ur body is a wond.land and there u`ll go

beginner	April 4, 2003, 22:08
what is capo? Just happy to start, and to be here.

nice guy	May 18, 2003, 3:13
u must have some big hands to stretch 6 frets... in the music video john doesn't do that... but ya know, it sounds pretty close, but my hands aren't big enough to play the whole song by this tab

girlie	June 27, 2003, 18:58
Beginner, a capo is a clip that makes the pitch higher or lower so it's easier to sing to. Nice guy - i always wonder that!

jack	August 7, 2003, 18:33
there's a capo on the 1st fret... you don't hafta stretch 6 frets. only 3 i think. it's not too hard, but big hands come in handy yes

sonofaBitch	September 15, 2003, 5:10
This feature's purpose is to add interesting comments or corrections on this tablature: so what r u waitin 4 huh! kick my ass!

papaboYz	October 29, 2003, 10:08
cool stuff man... but i think john play easier by the way it Freaks me up!! Great job

nate	December 12, 2003, 5:25
dude, this is a good tab, and who really cares how john mayer plays it. this sounds a lot like it, and john mayer is a cheesy cheesy dude anyways. hes a cheesy guy who happens to be a very good guitar player. but i will go on record as sayin that john mayer is a tool

spike	December 30, 2003, 9:23
i'd have to agree with nate there

PDT74	January 23, 2004, 22:02
Good tab. But your style of playing is a lot harder then John's

Sara	May 9, 2004, 23:53
Hey beginner dude- A capo is a little clamp looking thing you use to make whatever you're playing be octaves higher it doesnt change the notes just how high or low they are

Colin	March 7, 2005, 5:35
Anybody seen a tab for John Mayer's "Back To You"? Thanks and Peace, C
