now that we've got the whole album, how about some bsides?
i don't have a single single, which is just too bad
***********************************************************************
hello
Tbe intro is of course tbe progression on wonderwall
Repeating riff in the verses
Am C
Just repeat this during the verses. I think it's pretty close, you might
want to try C powerchords, or something.
Verse witb main repeating riff
I don't feel as if I know you, you take up all my time
The days are long and the nights will throw you away coz the sun don't shine
Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play
Precborus
E5 We live in the sh Am adows and we h F ad the chance and threw it G5 away
Cborus
Please note that the B and A are played as single notes, NOT chords. If
you play them as chords, it sounds like crap, so make sure you play the
C chord and then slide up to B and then pluck the open A string.
And it's C never B gonna be the A same
Coz the y F ears are falling G by like the rain
And it's C never B gonna be the A same
Till the F5 life I knew comes to G5 my house and says
(riff)
Hello
Verse 2 same riff over it
There ain't no sense in feeling lonely, they got no faith in you
But I got a feeling you still owe me, so wipe the shit from your shoes
Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play
Precborus + Cborus are tbe same as above words and cbords
F5 Hello! He G5 llo! Am x3
Am Said it's good to be back, it's good to be back
(This repeats a few times and the song ends on the Am)
If you feel like a solo break at any point during the song, A minor
pentatonic is a fine choice, and if you've got a wah-wah pedal, let it
shine. I saw Oasis play live, and all Noel uses is a wah and a Boss
digital delay.

.-22-22-2222--.
You gott G a roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking of things that I just can't abide
I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take
I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside

CAPO 2nd FRET
T Em7 oday is G gonna be the day that they're Dsus4 gonna throw it back to yo A7sus4 u
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you n Cadd9 ow G A7sus4
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
And Cadd9 all the roads we Dsus4 have to walk are wi Em7 nding
And Cadd9 all the lights th Dsus4 at lead us there ar Em7 e blinding
The Cadd9 re are many t Dsus4 hings that I
Would li G ke to Dsus4 say to Em7 you, but I Dsus4 don't know A7sus4 how
'Cause m Cadd9 aybe G Dsus4 Em7
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
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
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
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that 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.
***********************************************************************
don't look back in anger
C Slip inside the G eye of your mind Am
Don't you E7 know you might F find G
A better place to pl C ay Am-G
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away
F So I start a Fm revolution from my C bed
F Cos you said the Fm brains I have went to my C head
F Step outside the Fm summertime's in C bloom
G Stand up beside the fireplace
G#/E7 Take that look from off your face
Am Cos you ain't ever G going to burn my F heart ouuuuuuu G uuut
Cborus
C So S G ally can Am wait, she E7 knows it's too F late
As we're G walking on C by
C Her soul G slides Am away, but E7 don't look F back in anger
I G heard you C say
Mini solo over once tbrougb tbe verse progression
Note: I think this solo is mostly in A-minor pentatonic.
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock and Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
Gonna start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart ouuuuuuuuuut
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late
As she's walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say
Solo over precborus cbords
Again, this solo is based mainly on pentatonic ideas. The length is once
through the prechorus progression. Double the length if you want to solo
a bit longer. Work those bends and kick some more emotion into an already
emotional song!
Drum fill
Chorus again, but endings:
F (upstroke)
But don't look back in anger
Fm Dont look back in anger
I heard you C say
Once more through the verse progression, then end on:
At least not C today
***********************************************************************
hey now!
Intro G Em (x4) D
I hitched a r G ide with my soul by the side of the road
Em Just as the sky turned black
I took a w G alk with my fame down memory lane
Em I never did find my way back
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
A# I thought that Am I heard someone s C ay now
There's no t G ime for running a A# way now
H Am ey now! Hey no G w!
F Em eel no sh G ame - cos t Em ime's no ch G ain
F Em eel no sh G ame Em D
The first thing I saw as I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said you might never know that I want you to know
What is written inside of your head
And time as it stands won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as it fell from the sky I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in ?
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! Hey now!
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame
Solo: G Em G Em A# Am C G A# Am G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame
I hitched a ride with my soul by the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame down memory lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me
I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! Hey now!
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame

Solo followed by disintegrating tune, back to verse
Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you've been given
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well
Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day
I've been standing at the station in need of education in the rain
Made no preparation, thought my reputation was to blame
The sink is full of fishes, she's got dirty dishes on the brain
And my dog's been itching, itching in the kitchen once again

cast no shadow
A7sus4 Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
what is in his h G ands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life, surviving if he can
Em But with all the wei D ght of all the wo C rds he tried to say G
chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
But with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Em As he faced the D sun he c C ast no shadow
G As they took his A7sus4 soul they stole his pri C de Em-D
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
Em As he faced the D sun he c C ast no shadow
Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
what is in his h G ands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life,
surviving if he can (but only if he can)
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As they took his soul they stole his pride (x3)
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (x4)
(ends on a C-G)

But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me
She's got a cousin
In fact she's got 'bout a dozen
She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me
And I want you to know
I've got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what I'm saying?
But I need more ....
Coz I'll be you and you'll be me

morning glory
for the intro simply play this on the G string:
g ---777779 play it a few time and move to the next intro:
it sounds much better with the basses so I tabbed them as well
(try to play both chords and basses)
E5 g x---- A5 2
d a 2----2 2--020
e 003---
play this 4 times and then move to the verse, where it says E5 a%5
try to fit the basses like in the intro.
Verse:
E5 All your d A5 reams are made
When you're c A5 hained to your mirror with your razor blade
E5 Today's the day that A5 all the world will s A5 ee C
E5 Another sunny aftternoo A5 n
E5 walking to the sound of your f A5 avourite tune
E5 Tommorrow never knows what it A5 doesnt know too s A5 oon C
bridge:
D Need a little time to C wake up
D Need a little time to C wake up wake up
D Need a little time to C wake up
D Need a little time to rest your mind
B You know you should so I guess you might as
chorus:

E5 well A5
A5 you need a little time to w C ake up wake up
E5 well A5
A5 whats the story m C orning glory
E5 wel A5 l
A5 Need a little time to C5 wake up wake up

G How many lives are living strange
F#m Where were you when we were getting hi E gh?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova

How many special people change

Where were you when we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high

We were getting high
a question: anyone think that the F#m should be a D/F# 200232 ??
I'm not too sure
