CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA by OASIS

Taken from the album WHATS THE STORY MORNING GLORY?

Written by NOEL GALLAGHER

Tabbed out by JUSTIN KUNZ

E-mail me at KUNJUST@LYCOMING.EDU

Oasis is getting up there as one of my favorite bands, if not already.

This video is amazing, and what is even more amazing (and better too!) is

that they (meaning the editors, not Oasis) didn't cut any of it out.

Although there are a bunch of different riffs to remember, I find

locating proper ocean noise for the beginning is the toughest part of the

song.

I figured I might as well do the whole thing because I love the song so

much. The only real tab of this is under the Morning Glory album thing,

and it isn't too extensive. Ok here we go.

LIST O' COMMANDS

~= let ring

[]= around number denotes harmonics

hb= half bend

b= full bend

h= hammer on

p= pick off

s= slide

stf= slide to fade... slide back down the fret as you let the sound fade

e -------------------------------------------------------------------

D ---------------------------7-----9s11---11s9---7~~~~---------------

A ------------------------7h9----------------------------------------

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

OK TAKE NOTE OF THIS: they love to do these little fills here and there:

B -------10---

G --9-11------ X3

It's the 9-11-10 thing they use in those above lead parts. They toss

some of those fills in at 0:43, 0:57, and 1:09. The only difference is

they don't fade like they did in the beginning.

A

How many special people change?

G

How many lives are living strange?

F#m E

Where were you while we were getting high?

A

Slowly walking down the hall

G

Faster than a cannonball

F#m E

Where were you while we were getting high?

A

Some day you will find me

G

Caught beneath a landslide

F#m E

In a champagne supernova in the sky

A

Some day you will find me

G

Caught beneath a landslide

F#m E A

In a champage supernova, a champage supernova in the sky

(Play that riff over this)

D ------------------------------7--7h9p9----------------------------

(1:23)

A

Wake up the dawn and ask me why

G

A dreamer dreams she never dies

F#m E

Wipe that tear away now from your eye

A

Slowly walking down the hall

G

Faster than a cannonball

F#m E

Where you while we were getting high?

A

Some day you will find me

G

Caught beneath a landslide

F#m E

In a champagne supernova in the sky

A

Some day you will find me

G

Caught beneath a landslide

F#m E A

In a champagne supernova, a champagne supernova in the sky

G A

Cos people believe, that they're gonna get away from the summer

G

But you and I, we live and die

D/F# E

The world's still spinning round, We don't know why, why, why....

(Play this over the beginning chords)

e --------------------------------------------------------------

B -12b-10--10------------10-12-12b-10--10-----------10-12-12b---

G -------11--11------9-11------------11--11-----9-11------------

D --------------9-11-----------------------9-11-----------------

A --------------------------------------------------------------

E --------------------------------------------------------------

(3:05)

B -10--10------------10-12-12s14~-----------------

G ---11--11-----9-11------------------------------

D ----------9-11----------------------------------

A ------------------------------------------------

E ------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The second verse uses this little thing instead of the 9-11-10 riff

from above. Just listen to the CD, they toss in one of these two riffs

every so often like they did with the 9-11-10:

D -----7-- AND G -------9-----9--

A -7-9---- D --9s11---11s9---

A

How many special people change?

G

How many lives are living strange?

F#m E

Where were you while we were getting high?

A

Slowly walking down the hall

G

Faster than a cannonball

F#m E

Where were you while we were getting high?

A

Some day you will find me

G

Caught beneath the landslide

F#m E

In a champagne supernova in the sky

A

Some day you will find me

G

Caught beneath the landslide

F#m E A

In a champagne supernova, a champagne supernova in the sky

G A

Cos people believe that they're gonna get away from the summer

G

But you and I, we live and die

D#/F E

The world's still spinning round, we don't know why, why, why....

(Then over the bridge, the chords and counts go like this:)

A A G G D/F# D/F# F G

A A G G D/F# D/F# F G

A A G G D/F# D/F# F G

A A G G D/F# D/F# F G

F G F G A A G G

F#m F#m.......(then you are back into that beginning riff)

(If you think I'm gonna tab the 4 or 5 guitars over that noise/distortion

bridge, you wrong)

A

How many special people change?

G

How many lives are living strange?

F#m E

Where were you while we were getting high?

A

We were getting high?

G

Subject: TAB: Champagne Supernova by Oasis

"Champagne Supernova", written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis.

Song can be found on the album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" and

has been released in the U.S. as a single.

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.

Chords used:

EADGBe

Asus2 (x02200) [NOTE: will be listed a #1 for short in solo parts]

Asus2/G (3x2200) [" " " #2 ]

chorus:

E--------------------3--------3--------2--------2--------0--------0---------

[NOTE: Use this rythym and chord progression when playing all verses and

the first chorus]

Tab Key:

s = slide

/ = long downward slide

b = bend (5b6 means bend the string at the 5th fret to make the note the

string would make at the 6th fret with no bend)

r = release bend

(H) = harmonic

h = hammer on

p = pull off

^ = let note ring while making the note "vibrate"

In the following places where "Riff 1" is listed, play this:

[NOTE: When trying to learn the guitar solo, I would suggest listening to

the song and learning exactly when the soloing 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.]
