I've seen some pretty complicated transcriptions of this song, including notes that can barely be heard on the recording. If you can't hear it, who cares! Also, notice how a lot of the other tabs are exactly, I mean exactly the same. Either thats a lil "copy & paste and hope no one notices" or getting it from the same book (which is illegal by the way). Anyways, I sat down with my band and we transcribed this song one afternoon, and it sounds great. Our audience really appreciated it when we played it. So take it or leave it, but rate accordingly. Without further a do, here it is.
"Wonderwall" by Oasis, from the album "(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?" copyright 2005.
tuning: standard EADBGe w/ capo 2nd fret. The tablature for this tab is based off capo 2 setup

LEAD GUITAR Part. This part is played under the chords and lyrics shown above.
Other tabs seem to have this down, so I'm going to give you what I played when my band did this song.
Its extremely similar, just a few more notes and sounds more concrete than the actual version.

"There are many...would like to say to you but I...how"
Give that a shot, see what you think. Musically it fits perfectly and sounds great. Lil easier too, but still cool
CHORUS
Cadd9 Em7 G Em7 Cadd9 Em7 G
Because maybe___________________you're gonna be the one that saves me_________________
Em7 Cadd9 Em7 G Em7 Cadd9
And after__ all____________you're my wonder_____ wall__________
That's pretty much it. There a lil break after first chorus, and guitar resumes by struming the verse. All the stuff I tabbed just repeats again for next verse, chorus, etc.
Oh, and don't forget this lil diddy:

Feel free to post comment/corrections. What I laid down for ya is basically the backbone for the sone, though I'm sure there are some minor discrepancies people are going to call me out on. But this is it, this is the song. Enjoy.
