Oasis: Wonderwall Tab

Wonderwall

  • Band: Oasis
  • Song: Wonderwall
  • Album: (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
  • Type of Tab: Chords and Tablature
  • Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
    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. (meaning an Em7 is actually played (244255), for example)
    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 chords in the verses should be played:
    U = upstroke
    D = downstroke
       Em7	       G	   Dsus4     A7sus4
       D   D   D U D U  D  D U D U D  U  D  D  U  D U D U
