Subject: TAB: Up In The Sky by Oasis

>From Fred Lidskog <swede@email.unc.edu>

Up In The Sky, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis.
Song can be found on the album "Definitely Maybe" and an acoustic version
of the song can be found on the UK "Live Forever" single.

I saw that someone finally did a transcription of this song, but although
it was close, a few chords were incorrect, so here goes:

Chords used:

EADGBe
G (3x0033)
Fadd9 (xx3213)
C (x32010)
Cadd6 (x32013)
C5 (x3555x)
A7/C# (x42020) can also be played easier as (x456xx)
D (x57775)
Em (x79987)

Here's the tab for the riff that is played through all the "G"
chords during the verses of the song: (I'll call it "Main Riff"):

e----------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------
G------0-----------0-----0--------------- (this repeats a bunch of times)
D---------------3---------------3--5-----
A---------3--5-------------3--5----------
E---3-----------------3---------------3--

Also, there is a little fill played during each "Fadd9" and the "Cadd6"
during the verses:

Fadd9 Cadd6
e--3----3-----3----3-----
B--1-------1--1-------1--
G--2----------0---------- (then back to "main riff")
D--3----------2----------
A-------------3----------
E------------------------

Verse 1

[NOTE: the above riffs are played by a 2nd guitar while the other guitar
plays the below chords]

[NOTE: the above tab is a combination of the chords played by guitar 1 and
the fill played by guitar 2. It sounds cool if you're only playing with
one guitar (that is, if you're not playing with somebody else) :) ]


[REPEAT VERSE 1]

[CHORUS]
