(Gallagher) From the album "(What's the Story)Morning Glory?" Tabbed by valer-oasis@inmail.sk Note: There's a whole lot of stuff going on in this song (including 3 guitars), so I've tried to transcribe everything. The 1st guitar (Bonehead) is acoustic-sounding during all verses and the 1st chorus and plays with distortion only during the 2nd & 3rd choruses, the bridges, and musical interlude. The second guitar (Noel) plays the intro solo and the fills during all the verses and pre-choruses with a muffled effect, and plays little solo parts with a dirty-sounding distortion. The 3rd guitar (Paul Weller, I believe) steps in with a cleaner but heavier distortion to play the guitar solo during the musical interlude.

guitar plays which notes relative to when the rhythym guitar changes chords. Then, follow along with this transcription to hear the rhythym of the fills and the riffs during the solo relative to the chord changes.}
