Question by Rhett Miller
Question
In this song there is a transition, or whatever you call it, that will be presented in
end of the tab.They are marked as G*, G*1.
the song is basically:
intro: |C|B|Am|G| |F|Em|F|G|
vers: |C|B|Am|G| |F|Em|F|G|
chorus:|F|G|C|Bb| |F|G|C|Bb|
|F|Am|F|G|
the "B" is the run down shape from C to Am
and should then look like this:
"B":
E020010e
C B Am G* F Em F G*1
C B Am
She woke from a dream
G* F
Her head was on fire
Em F G*1
Why was he so nervous
C B Am
He took her to the park
G* F
She crossed her arms and
Em F G*
lowered her eye lids
F G C Bb
Someday somebody's gonna ask you
F G C
A question that you should say yes to
Bb F
once in your life
Am F
Maybe tonight
G*1
I've got a question for you
(intro)
|C|B|Am|G| |F|Em|F|G|
She'd had no idea
started to cry
she said in a good way
he took her by the hand
walked her back home
they took the long way
chorus:|F|G|C|Bb| |F|G|C|Bb|
|F|Am|F|G|
someday somebody's gonna ask you
a question that you should say yes to
once in your life
maybe tonight
I've got a question for you
outro: |C|B|Am|G| |F|G| x2
ok so the transitions are probably bass but they are marked with:G*
G*1
they look like this:
G*:
G|----------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-3-3-5-3--------------------------------|
G*1:
G|----------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------|
A|-----0-2--------------------------------|
E|-3-3------------------------------------|

version 2
D A D G B E
CHORDS: (use thumb on 6th string when necessary, which is frequent, denoted by "t")
clarification: notes in parenthesis are the bass note.
C C(B) Am Am(G) F F(E) F(D) G B
e|--0----0----0---0---1---1-----1----3--------|

As for the little transition runs, they're very simple, so just listen for them in the song.
C C(B) Am Am(G) F F(E) F(D)

F G C B
Someday somebody's gonna ask you

--Same pattern as above throughout this section:
She'd had no idea she started to cry she said in a good way
He took her by the hand walked her back home they took the long way
Someday somebody's gonna ask you
A question that you should say yes to once in your life
Maybe tonight
Ive got a question for you
--back to beginning progression twice and end on C.

version 3
DropD and tuning my b-string to c etc. but it never sounded like the original.
I guess we were all put off by thinking the song starts on a C, which is does in terms
of the note, but not in terms of the chord-"shape" you play. Also, there is the nice (and
very common) step down to the C/B chord and the Am that just makes us not doubt for a
second that these as starting chords.
Yet, he must tune his guitar a whole step down so that the "Wonderwall"-Em-chord 022033
becomes his low D chord. The rest goes like this, and I think it sounds absolutely like
the original. Everything falls into place, suddenly the nice little steps up and down
work easily.
Note that the tuning is one full step down but chord names are relative to normal tuning.
