been wishing away for another day


Pre-chorus
---------- (D Dsus4 D Dsus4
**similar
to the beginning
of the song)
A7 D [quickly:D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D]
Me and my soul, we know where we're going
A7 Em (Actually an E)
We're going where the grass is free and the air is clean and the
G
good times are growing


Chorus
------
D E G Asus4 A Asus2 A D
Take me away, just for today, 'cos I'm sad here on my own,
E G Asus4 A Asus2 A D
I'd like to be, under the sea, but I'd prob-bly need a phone

[NOTE: chorus could also simply be played D E G A D E G A D]
(It probably could but it won't sound like the song.)

Musical Interlude **(actually uses the same chords and strum pattern
as the verses)
-----------------
D Dsus4 D Dmaj7 Dsus2 Dmaj7 D7 D7sus4 D7 G

[NOTE: listen to the song to hear the r(h)ythm of the above part]

**(I do not know if the version I have is the same as the one he is
talking about. It is from the "Supersonic" single but it is not a
bootleg.)
[ANOTHER NOTE: this musical interlude is played as written above only on
this unplugged Oasis bootleg I have, not on the recorded version. Try it,
though. It sounds pretty cool.]

Repeat Verse 1, play the lead-in to the pre-chorus just like after Verse
2 earlier in the song

Pre-chorus **(changes still apply)
