D'You Know What I Mean? Oasis
(Gallagher)
From the album "Be Here Now"
and the Single "D'You Know What I Mean?"
Tabbed by: Fred Lidskog <swede@email.unc.edu>
NOTE: As I'm sure you all know by now, Noel uses a capo behind the 2nd
fret. Also, alot of the time Noel guitar has some flanger effect going.
Chords used (remember there's a capo on the 2nd fret):
EADGBe
[F#m7] [(244255)]
[F#] [(244322)]
[A]E [(542255)](xx0232)
Esus4 (xx2455)
B (x24442)
B7sus4 (x24255)
D (x54232)
Dadd9 (x54255)
Tab Key:
h = hammer on
p = pull off
b = bend (7b8 means bend the string at the 7th fret to make approximately
the note the string would make if played at the 8th fret with no bend)
r = release bend
s = slide (a quick slide, making the two notes sound almost like one)
/ = a slower slide, play the first note, then slide to next note
~ = hold that note
() = harmonics
Since there are way too many guitar tracks in this song (I think I read an
interview where Noel said he'd put something like 32 guitar tracks on this
song!) I tried to include the most prominent fills in the song.
Fill 1: Fill 2a: Fill 2b:
