“D’you Know What I Mean”
Written By: King Noel Gallagher
Performed By: Oasis
Available as: Single, and will be on the upcoming album “Be Here Now”
Tabbed By: Jeff Lieberson jhl202@is5.nyu.edu or dfntlymab@aol.com
This is my first time every tabbing anything out. I’ve only been playing guitar for 6 months, and
haven’t taken lessons. I just learn from the tabs other people have posted. If I can do it anyone
can. I haven’t figured out the solo or fills yet, but hopefully I will soon. I have to give Noel a lot
of credit for helping me tab this out. I figured out a lot of the chords from simply watching him
play in the video. I’ve seen several of the tabs posted for this. Some are close but not perfect. I
know some of mine are perfect because of the video. There still might be a few mistakes, but not
many. This song is very close to being Wonderwall. In fact the intro is Wonderwall! Plus the
strumming is done to the rhythm of Wonderwall as well. This band just keeps getting better and
better, it’s unbelievable. Anyway, here we go.
To play with the CD put a capo on the 2nd fret. Just watch the video for proof. It’ll still sound
pretty good without the capo.

Intro
After all that morse code type noise comes the drums and then Noel plays the main part of
Wonderwall three times without distortion. To get that morse code noise just crank up the
distortion and just randomly tap the fretboard around the 17th and 19th fret.

Back to the Verses
(Same chord progression as the previous verses)
Look into the wall of my minds eye
I think I know but I don’t know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain’t good looking but I’m someone’s child
No-one can give me the air that’s mine to breathe
Pre-Chorus
E7 Cadd9 G
I met my maker I made him cry
E7 Cadd9 G
And on my shoulder he asked me why
E7 Cadd9 G
His people won’t fly through the storm
C Asus4
I said “Listen up man, they don’t even know your born”
Chorus
E7 G Dsus4
All my people right here right now

Even More Verses
(Same chords as all the other verses)
I don’t really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won’t receive
The thoughts and the words of everyman you’ll need
So get up off the floor and believe in life
No-ones ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
Pre-Chorus
Exact same thing as the first one
Chorus
Exact same thing as the first one
