From swede@email.unc.edu Sun May 4 11:15:01 1997 >From Fred Lidskog Listen Up, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis Song can be found on the UK "Cigarettes & Alcohol" single, and is probably one of my top 5 favorite Oasis songs. Parts of this transcription were taken straight from the official tab book for Oasis B-Sides. A special thanks to Mr. Paul Das for providing these chords, without which I may never have known the correct chords for the pre-chorus and chorus!! Chords used: EADGBe F#m (244222) A (x02220) E (022100) D (xx0232) Faug (1x3221) [NOTE: it's easier to play this as (xx3221)] A/E (002220) B7 (x24242) Bm7 (x24232) A/C# (x4222x) [NOTE: During the verses of this song, there are 2 guitars playing 2 completely different parts. Below are the tabbed parts for guitar 2, with the chords played by guitar 1 listed above the tabbed part.] Intro ----- F#m A E D A e-----------0--------!-----------------------------0------------------------- B---------0---0------!--------0--------0-------0-----3----------0-----0------ G-------2-------2----!------2--------2-----------------2----------2-----2---- D-----4-----------4--!----4--------2-------------0-------0----2-----2-----2-- A---4----------------!--4--------0-------------------------0----------------- E--------------------!-----------------------0------------------------------- F#m A E D A e-----------------------------------2-0--------------------------------- B--0------------0-------0-------0-------3-2------0-----0-----0---------- G----2--------2-------2---------------------2------2-----2-----2-------- D------2----4-------2-------------0------------2-----2-----2-----2------ A---------4-------0-------------------------0--------------------------- E-----------------------------0----------------------------------------- [NOTE: The intro minus the part before the exclamation points above is what guitars 1 & 2 play during all the verses of the song. Listed below over the lyrics will be only the chords played by guitar 1, but the part played by guitar 2 is also being played in the song.] [ANOTHER NOTE: After guitar 1 has played each chord progression above (F#m A E D A), this is how the second "A" in the chord progression is played by guitar 1:] A e-------------------------------------- B--2---3-3-2-3-2---3-3-3-3-2----------- G--2---2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2----------- D--2---2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2----------- A--0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0----------- E-------------------------------------- while guitar 2 is playing: Asus2 e-------------------------------------- B--------0-----0-----0----------------- G----------2-----2-----2--------------- D------2-----2-----2-----2------------- A--0----------------------------------- E-------------------------------------- Verse 1 ------- F#m A E D A Listen up, what's the time, ...
