How To Guitar Tune - Learn with FREE Guitar Tips!

"Wonderwall" by the band Oasis is one of those guitar tunes that teachers encourage their students to learn early because it's popular and easy to play. So, here is the information to the famous Oasis "Wonderwall" chords.

Let's start with the intro chords.

We have Em7, G, Dsus4, and A7sus4. Don't be intimidated by the chord names. The more you see included in a chord name merely means you're probably going to need to use all four fingers to make it.

e---3------3------3-----3-----
b---3------3------3-----3-----
g---0------0------2-----0-----
D---2------0------0-----2-----
A---2------2------0-----0-----
E---0------3------------------

Rhythm.

The song is a standard 4/4 time signature so as you count to four, you should be strumming a different chord on every two counts or beats.

If you listen to the real strumming pattern, the chords are mixed up in between each count to create variation. So, once you begin to catch on with your Oasis Wonderwall chords, you can use your own discretion to create variety in the strumming patterns.

Small Section.

The next part is just a couple measures right after the singer says "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now."

The chords here are Cadd9, Dsus4, A7sus4 and the strumming pattern changes slightly. The first two chords get 2 counts each and the third one gets 4 full counts.

e---3-----3-----3-----
b---3-----3-----3-----
g---0-----2-----0-----
D---2-----0-----2-----
A---3-----0-----0-----
E---------------------

Then it switches back to the intro chords for the second verse.

Pre-Chorus.

This is where the vocals say "And all the roads we have to walk are winding..." The chords at this section are C, D, and Em7 with that same strumming pattern mentioned in the section above.

e---0-----3-----3-----
b---1-----2-----3-----
g---0-----3-----0-----
D---2-----0-----2-----
A---3-----------2-----
E---0-----------------

The end of this section is a bit tricky with a different chord on each count. They are played on the bolded lyrics in this statement, "There are many things that I would LIKE to SAY to YOU, but I DON'T know HOW."

I'm sure you could figure out some way to fudge this section and still get through the song, but the actual chords are G, D, Em7, G, and A7sus4.

e---3-----3-----3-----3-----3----- b---3-----2-----3-----3-----3----- g---0-----3-----0-----0-----0----- D---0-----0-----2-----0-----2----- A---2-----------2-----2-----0----- E---3-----------0-----3-----------

Chorus.

The last part of the Oasis Wonderwall chords is of course the famous chorus where the singer says, "Just maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me... blah blah blah... wonderwall."

The chords for this section are Cadd9, Em7, G, and then repeat Em7 as part of the progression.

e---3-----3-----3-----3-----
b---3-----3-----3-----3-----
g---0-----0-----0-----0-----
D---2-----2-----0-----2-----
A---3-----2-----2-----2-----
E---------0-----3-----0-----

And that's all there is to it!

You can figure out the order of the sections by simply listening to the song and you'll be ready for the next campfire with your Oasis Wonderwall chords.
