Song: Wonderwall 
Artist: Oasis
Album: (What's the Story) Morning Glory
Transcribed by:  Jim Ferraiolo (jmferraiolo@hcacad.holycross.edu)

Oasis are a great band, but I really wish that their recordings wouldn't
come out a twinge higher in pitch on their CDs.  This track doesn't suffer
this malady, but there are other tracks on the album that have this 
"problem".  It makes playing along with the CD impossible, which is really 
frustrating, since this is something I love to do.  Consequently, it is
also how I figure out most songs.  At any rate, I'm working on the rest
of the tracks for this album and there might be an entire album transcription
in the future.  

This song is easily my favorite off an *incredible* album that is miles
ahead of their first offering in terms of songwriting and maturity.  The 
song is pretty easy to figure out once you realize that it's capoed.  I hope
that you enjoy this transcription, and as always, if you have any questions,
comments, etc, drop me a line.  If you like and use this transcription,
drop me a line as well.  It's nice to know that people appreciate your
work and it provokes them to do more transcriptions in the future.  


-------------->   CAPO 2nd FRET   <---------------

Chords used in this transcription:

022033 - F#m7
320033 - A
X00233 - Esus4
X02033 - B7sus4
X32033 - F#m7aug5

Basically, you're using Em7, G, Dsus4, A7sus4, and Cadd9 shapes except with
a capo.  Whee!

Verses:

Listen to the recording for the rhythm.  For each line of lyrics, play the 
following progression:

[F#m7, A, Esus4, B7sus4]

Verse 1:

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do 
About you now

Verse 2:

Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now

Prechorus:

[F#m7+5, Esus4, B7sus4]

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

[F#m7+5, Esus4]

There are many things that I 

*This part has quick changes, listen closely*

[A, Esus4, F#m7, Esus4, B7sus4]

Would like to say to you, but I don't know how

Chorus:

[F#m7+5, Esus4, F#m7]

'Cause maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Verse 3:

[Same progression as the earlier verse]

Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now

[Same progression as prechorus]

And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

[Same progression as chorus.  Have you caught on yet?  Good! :) ]

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
You're gonna be the one who saves me?

For the little solo at the end, just make something up in F#m pentatonic
and you'll be all set.  You can make it as sweet or as nasty as you like.

what a load of sh## February 17, 2003, 17:09 

the first bit with the capos ok but ignore that shit from the second bit its crap!!


Smithy February 23, 2003, 1:44 

Yeah first part is fine. Haven't got a clue what the other guy was on when he tabbed this. Fuck all like it should be and the solo has never even seen wonderwall. Noel would be round this guy's house with a glass bottle if he saw this!


Smithy February 23, 2003, 1:57 

Oh, and I think there should be a A/G# or G/F# with capo (2x0033) somewhere in the pre-chorus where it goes "Would like to say to you, but I don't know how"

Think this bit should progress as (with capo) G, G/F#, Em7, G, A7sus4.

Also think that the B7sus4 parts in the "And all the...." parts of the pre-chorus should be a F#m7.


Aldebaran July 29, 2003, 14:40 

ok the capo is only necessary if you can't sing this song.
The important is the rythm (listen to the song) and always keep two fingers on the 3rd fret at B and E6 chords and with some style at the right hand you'll play it as Gallagher. First part of this tabs is great.


Oz September 3, 2003, 10:06 

The entire tab in my mind seems to be wrong. It's a Capo at 2nd fret but right from the beginning it's not right.


After reading youll think dumbass September 14, 2003, 7:34 

What the F!@# is capo?????


Danny owali October 31, 2003, 21:36 

Its completely wrong. its Em7, G, Dsus4, A7sus4 at the end of 1st verse it is C9, Dsus4, A7sus4 instead.
The chous is C9, Em7, G, Em7


Danny Owali October 31, 2003, 21:42 

I forgot the pre-chorus it is simply... C9, Dsus4, A7sus4 but wen it goes "would like 2 say 2 you..." it is C9, Dsus4, Em. Enjoy it Its a cool song when its played properly


Glenn Folau January 14, 2004, 11:30 

Actually the song does come out in F#m. You can play it in Em with a capo on the second fret if you find it easier to play in that key, that way you will be in tune with the recording. If you find it difficult to sing as high as Noel Gallagher, you could still play it in Em sans capo, but of course it will come out a whole tone or a whole step lower than the original.Either way it is good sing along tune, that will get everybody singing along at a campfire or BBQ.
Cheers


Subby April 26, 2004, 16:39 

U say - 320033 - A
Don't think so mate!


marilyn May 24, 2004, 7:45 

ok, so im guessing i should go for the first part then?


BRETT May 28, 2004, 0:06 

ace.magic when u got the right chords, as follows.EM7-G-DSUS4-A7SUS4-CADD9-C-D-G5-G5/FSHARP-G5/E-EM7/B.


hey, buddy May 29, 2004, 3:17 

hey Subby, when the capo is on 2nd fret, 320033 is the equivalent to x02220 without the capo. think before you act.


hey ghost May 29, 2004, 18:00 

going into (chords in parenthasis) the learning guitar player wants to easy understand it.(hence)ponder before u engage. sa


Ranger June 22, 2004, 21:10 

just great, dude...
the prechorus is :
--3-3---3--3--3--333-3-33--
--3-3---3--3--3--333-3-33--
--0-0---2--2--2--200-0-00--
--2-2---0--0--0--022-2-22--
--3-3---0--0--0--000-0-00--
---------------------------

(Don't ask for the rythm, feel it ^^)


dazed and confused June 24, 2004, 22:26 

this makes no sence to me... it is hard to understand


meandmystratocaster July 2, 2004, 2:41 

I play it 022033 and it sounds pretty good and it sounds way better with a capo but its all good no matter how u play it its just a good song


ace July 24, 2004, 6:59 

i think it sounds good at least the intro sounds good w/ the capo played 022033, 300033, 000233, 002033..... idk tell me what you think im just a rookie so tell me what u think


georgs August 3, 2004, 12:44

bonehead October 19, 2004, 22:49 

You should take a hit of acid before attempting to play this tab.


:-:-:PuPiC:-:-: October 28, 2004, 19:48 

ROFL!!!
320033 - A


Joe Joe November 13, 2004, 4:22 

Its fun to see the idiots out there. This tab aint bad , the first part that is, and that chord is an A if played with a Capo on the 2nd fret. It scares me that some of these people actually think they can play. LOL


1 idiot previously mentioned November 25, 2004, 1:14

To the second guy: WTF??
What is this nonsense maybe you should try to listen to the song


Ste January 2, 2006, 0:50 

lol!! some of u guys should check y gitars in tune , its only a few chords an the ant exaxtly hard t get 2


Hawk February 28, 2006, 8:06 

I think there should be another chord between the Esus4 and the F#m7 but im not positive


Hawk February 28, 2006, 17:44 

Yeah i was just playing it and that chorus is off by one chord. You have to put an A in between the Esus4 and F#m7.
Listen to the song the bass and the guitar hit 4 notes in the chorus.


phuqed June 20, 2006, 1:40 

yo seconed tab sounds good its just laid out for not using a capo thats all i just played it with song and sounded good to me
