Hello! This is a tab for the cover of Wonderwall by The Mike Flowers Pops.
The chords listed below are my own personal interpretation of how the song
should be played rhythmically. The band does not have a rhythmic guitarist
but I wouldn't recommend this version as a substitute for that; Rather I
have created this tab to act as an acoustic version of the song. I hope you
enjoy it!
I have put some notes about the way I play it at the bottom.
The song can be found here:

Intro: See notes at bottom for durations
F# E F# C#m
F# C#m
Verse 1:
F# E
Back beat, the word on the street that the fire in your heart is out
F# E
I'm sure, you've heard it before but you never really had a doubt
F# C#m A C#m E
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you
Chorus: See Notes as bottom
A B E C#m B
And all the roads that lead us there are winding
A B E C#m B
And all the light that light the way are blinding
A B E C#m F#
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how
A B E
But Maybe,
C#m A B E
Are you gonna be the one that saves me?
C#m A B E D E B
And after all, You're my wonderwall
Bridge: At this point in the song, the pitch and tone are altered and the song
becomes slightly deeper. You can continue to use the chords from the
first half but the chords listed below are in keeping with the official
music video. The vocals in the section are the female backing singers.
E D E D
Ooh ooh oooooh Ooh ooh oooooh Ooh ooh oooooh Ooh ooh oooooh
verse 2:
E B G B
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you
Chorus: See Notes as bottom
G A D B#m A
And all the roads that lead you there are winding
G A D B#m A
And all the light that light the way are blinding
G A D B#m E
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how
G A D
But Maybe,
B#m G A D
Are you gonna be the one that saves me?
B#m G A D C D D
And after all, You're my wonderwall
NOTES: Intro: It is hard to show the duration of each note when there are no
lyrics so to play this accurately, you should play the F# for a bar then
E for half a bar. The second F# is also a full bar and the C#m is six beats
or a bar and a half. On the second line, the F# is played for three bars
and the C#m for one
First Chorus: A note about the section, "You're my wonderwall": I would
recommend strum the B only once. After the line, quickly play E Twice
followed by D twice and then E again once. I Treat the B like a powerchord
and strum, down only, twice Before a short pause and then four more times.
This would look like: EEDD E BB BBBB
On the second and last chorus, I would do a similar thing but instead of
playing B six times, I would play it just once but slowly allowing the
chord to ring. This would look like DDCC D D(slowly)
