I've tried to get the intro chords for this off the video, but there are just not enough guitar shots, so I'll just give ya what I got. Chords: Am (xx2210) X (xx4030) I have no idea what this chord is, so it's X for now Am7 (xx2010) E (022100) C (x32010) G (320001) F (x33211) (slide between the chords, don't leave pauses and it sounds much better) Am X Take the time to make some sense, of what you wanna say.... Am7 X Am E And cast your words away upon the waves...... Am X Sail them home with acquiesce on a ship of hope today.... Am7 X E Am7 And as they land upon the shore, tell them not to fear no more.... E G E So say it loud and sing it proud todayyyy!!! Chorus: ======== C G Dance if ya wanna dance, please brother take a chance... Am G You know they're gonna go, which way they wanna go. F G C Am All we know is that we don't know.... C G Just how it's gonna be, please brother let it be Am G Life on the other hand, won't make them understand, C G Am We're all part of the Masterplan..... The song continues on following the same notation until the end when the last part goes: C G C G C G We're all part of the masterplan **Hope this helps. If any one knows the intro (Which is somewhere down in the 4th and 5th fret), lemme know.** Mail me at: chiller@dmv.com From T.S.Shah@herts.ac.uk Tue May 20 08:34:28 1997 Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 13:50:43 +0100 (BST) From: Coco the Clown To: swede@email.unc.edu, patrick@spy.net Subject: The Masterplan I was messing about on the guitar the other day and i think i've got Masterplan down almost exactly. Have a go yourselves and see wot you think. Here are the "weird" chords used (in the form of eBGDAE): Am/sus2 (005770) G#maj7 (045660) Gmaj7 (034550) F#maj7 (023440) Fmaj7 (012330) Em7/sus2(000000) The intro basically starts at the Am/sus2 and descends: G#maj7 Gmaj7 F#maj7 Em7/sus2 Am E Am Gmaj7 Take the time...say Fmaj7 Gmaj7 Am E Cast your words away....waves (same again till..) Fmaj7 Gmaj7 D F As they land upon...tell...to fear no more G E Say it...today Then the chorus goes as what is generally agreed to be right, i.e C G Am G Fmaj7 G etc.... Hope this helps!

Gallagher Lyrics by: N. Gallagher ------------- Tabbed by Fred Lidskog This is another one of my favorites by Oasis, truly an epic song and another where our lads are accompanied by a string and horn section. There's alot of weird chords used in this song, and the chords and fills are sort of hard to hear (especially in the intro) because of the string section, so keep an open mind when you see this transcription on paper, because if you play the song, you'll hear these chords are pretty much the right ones. Written next to some of the chords I use for this song are the chords listed in the official Oasis B-sides guitar book (thanks to Paul Das for providing these) in case you want to know what that book has listed. Unfortunately, I don't think the transcription found in this book is a very accurate one (as is the case with many transcriptions in the "official" Oasis tab books) so you can try out these chords if you wish, but you'll most likely agree with me that in most cases the "official" book is incorrect.

I don't know the names of several of the chords but from watching MTV Unplugged I can tell you they are very close. Here is the intro: The chords are basically moveable E chords for the entire intro: the number before each "E" will indicate which fret to play the E on. Intro: Am, 5E, 4E, 3E, 2E, 4E, Am, E Seems easy huh? well I'm pretty sure that it is something very close to that if not exactly. Verse: Am 4E Take the time to make some sense of what you want to say 2E 4E Am E Cast your words away upon the waves. Am 4E Sail them with acquiesce on a ship of hope today. 2E 4E D* F And as they land upon the shore, tell them not to fear no more. G E Say it loud and sing it proud today! C G Dance if you want to dance, please brother take a chance. Am G F You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go. G C G C All we know is that we don't know, how it's gonna be G Am G F Please brother let it be, life on the other hand won't make you understand. G Am We're all part of a masterplan. then this progression: 4E, 2E, 4E, D*, F G E Say it loud and sing it proud today! Next verse is the same as before. After Noel stops singing, the progression is C, G, Am, G (he is actually using falsetto here on Unplugged). Break down for outro is: F, G, E(After he stops falsetto). The outro is alot like the intro, so listen to it and figure it out for yourself. That's all folks. Thanks. Questions, comments, corrections please mail to chris7710@aol.com
