D`You Know What I Mean? Performed by Oasis >From the album Be Here Now and the CD Single D`You Know What I Mean? on Sony/Creation Records Music by: N. Gallagher Lyrics by: N. Gallagher (c)1997 ----------------- Tabbed by: Fred Lidskog
NOTE: As I`m sure you all know by now, Noel uses a capo behind the 2nd fret. Also, alot of the time Noel guitar has some flanger effect going.
Chords used (remember there`s a capo on the 2nd fret):
EADGBe Fm7 (244255) F (244322) A (542255) E (xx0232) Esus4 (xx2455) B (x24442) B7sus4 (x24255) D (x54232) Dadd9 (x54255)
Tab Key:
h = hammer on p = pull off b = bend (7b8 means bend the string at the 7th fret to make approximately the note the string would make if played at the 8th fret with no bend) r = release bend s = slide (a quick slide, making the two notes sound almost like one) / = a slower slide, play the first note, then slide to next note ~ = hold that note () = harmonics
Since there are way too many guitar tracks in this song (I think I read an interview where Noel said he`d put something like 32 guitar tracks on this song!) I tried to include the most prominent fills in the song.
Fill 3 (played by two guitars): guitar 1: e--------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------- G---4bb5--4--2h4p2------2h4p2-----------2----- D-------------------4----------4---2h4-----4-- A--------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------
guitar 2(at the same time as guitar 1) e------------------------------------------------- B--12b13.5-12-10h12p10----12b13.5-12-10h12p10----- G----------------------11---------------------11-- D------------------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------
INTRO ===== Fm7 (for three measures until the backwards thing Noel says sounds like Fuck Me, then:) Dadd9 Esus4 B7sus4 [FILL 1]
Verse 1 ======= Fm7 A Step off the train all alone at dawn Esus4 B7sus4 Back into the hole where I was born Fm7 A Esus4 B7sus4 The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me [FILL 1] Fm7 A There`s blood on the trax and it must be mine Esus4 B7sus4 The fool on the hill and I feel fine Fm7 A Esus4 B7sus4 Don`t look back cos you know what you might see [FILL 1]

[CHORUS a bunch of times]
Song ends, and you hear that backwards feedback type stuff. The notes for this are something like: e------------------------2-------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------4--5-------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------4--3----4---repeats over and over--------- D--------------------------------------------------------------------------- A--------------------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way does anybody have any idea if all that backwards business is actual words being played backwards?
