Wishlist Tab

WISHLIST-Live (Perth, Australia, 23rd Feb, 2003)
 
**NB: The Wishlist tab by Pat Giles (@ www.olga.net) was used for some of this tab.**
 
Standard tuning - low to hi - EADGBE
 
Note: The lead guitar parts can be played several different ways on
      various parts of the fretboard.
 
Chords:
**NB: I think it sounds better if you use barrel/power chords, so i will list them as well.**
 
C:  X32010   or c:  335533   }Instead of just strumming the chords, try picking
F:  X33211   or F:  133211   }a few notes (strings) in between. This is not
G:  320033   or G:  355433   }essential but i think it gives a nicer sound.
                             }Just pick what ever sounds nicest to you!!

I wish I was the radio song, the one that you turned up,
 
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish,
 
I guess it never stops.
