THE MASTERPLAN
(Gallagher)
Track 4 the single "Wonderwall"
Tabbed by Fred Lidskog <swede@email.unc.edu>
There's a lot of weird chords used in this song, and the chords and
fills are sort of hard to hear (especially in the intro) because of the
string section, so keep an open mind when you see this transcription on
paper, because if you play the song, you'll hear these chords are pretty
much the right ones. Written next to some of the chords I use for this
song are the chords listed in the official Oasis B-sides guitar book
(thanks to Paul Das <p.das@rl.ac.uk> for providing these) in case you want
to know what that book has listed. Unfortunately, I don't think the
transcription found in this book is a very accurate one (as is the case
with many transcriptions in the "official" Oasis tab books) so you can try
out these chords if you wish, but you'll most likely agree with me that in
most cases the "official" book is incorrect.
Chords used:
EADGBe
Am (x02210)
A7sus4 (x02030) or try (x05430) [official book: G/A (x05433)]
Fmaj7/A (x03210) [official book: F/A (x03211)]
C/B (x2x010) [official book: G/B (x20003)]
C (x32010)
D (xx0232)
E (022100)
E7 (020100)
F (x33211)
G (3x0033)
Tab Key:
b = bend (7b8 means bend string at 7th fret to make approximately the note
the string would make if played at the 8th fret with no bend
r = release bend
h = hammer on
s = slide (a quick slide, sounds like one note)
/ = a slide where you play the first note, THEN slide to the second
() = harmonics, lightly touch the string directly above the fret listed
and then pick the string
Intro:
-----
Chords used in intro:
Am (x07500)
Am/G# (x06500) [official book: Am(maj7/G#) (4x2210)]
Am7 (x05500) [official book: Am7/G (3x2210)]
Am/F# (x04500) [official book: Am6/F# (2x2210)]
Fmaj7/A (x03500) [official book: Fmaj7 (1x2210)]
Am/D (x00500) [official book: D (xx0232)]
E7 (020100)
So here it goes:
Am Am/G# Am7 Am/F# Fmaj7/A Am/D
e------------(12)-----(12)-------(19)-----------------
B---------------------------(12)----------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------

E-----------------------------------------------------
Am E7
e---------0-----------------------------------------------
B-------3---3---------------------------------------------
G-------------0-------------------------------------------
D---2s4---------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------
THEN: Repeat intro chords one more time through, with the second guitar
picking notes from the chords in a kind of random pattern, but which can
basically played like this:
Am Am/G# Am/G
e------------0----------------------0---------------------
B--------------0----------------------0-------------------
G----5--4--5-----5----------5--4--5-----5-----------------
D-7----------------7--7--6----------------6--6--5--etc.---
A---------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------
The book has the intro like this:
Am Am(maj7/G#) Am7/G Am6/F# Fmaj7 D G Am E7

Say it loud, and sing it proud today And then
Chorus:
-------

Dance if you wanna dance

Please brother take a chance

Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't

Verse 2
-------
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
'Cos everything that's been has passed
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud today
And then
[CHORUS same]
