Wonderful World

Transcription by: Scott Ettinger (Sparc@delphi.com) 4/27/95 1:30 A.M.
I heard this song the other day and it blew me away, so I had to figure it
out.
Intro: Acoustic with electric a la Tesla
E-|----------5--0-----------9--------7--------5-----\3------------------------|B-|-------7--------7-----7-----7--------7--------7--\5------------------------|G-|----7--------------7-----------7--------7----------------------------------|D-|-0------------------------------------------------0------------------------|A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse 1: Acoustic and vocals only

Repeat 4 times
You may ask "how the heck is it possible to play this?" I personally
think that Skeoch has evolved an extra finger to play this stuff. The way
I do it is to make use of my thumb to fret the low E string on the G and
F#, then do a painful bend with my pinky along with the F base note.
Transition Riff 1: Acoustic and electric sound again
E-|----------5--0--------------------3--0--------------------1--0-------------|B-|-------7--------7--------------5--------5--------------3--------3----------|G-|----7--------------7--------5--------------5--------3--------------3-------|D-|-0--------------------0--0--------------------0--0--------------------0----|A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Repeats twice
Next, play verse 2 times again (Acoustic only)
Verse 2

then just the acoustic)

Play this a total of 6 times (twice before lyrics and guitar 2 come in)
