Masterplan (Oasis)
This really is my personl favortie of all the Oasis songs. But - Shockhorror is hasn't made it onto any of the Oasis albums. If you haven't heard it before it can be found on the Oasis MTV UnPlugged performance. The first verses are played with an acoustic guitar, and the Later and Chorus are played with a Slightly distorted guitar setup.
Man, It Rocks!

Subject: The Masterplan (updated)
>From Fred Lidskog for providing these) in case you want to know what that book has listed. Unfortunately, I don't think the transcription found in this book is a very accurate one (as is the case with many
transcriptions in the "official" Oasis tab books) so you can try out these chords if you wish, but you'll most likely agree with me that in most cases the "official" book is incorrect.
Chords used:
Am (x02210)
A7sus4 (x02030) or try (x05430) [official book: G/A (x05433)]
Fmaj7/A (x03210) [official book: F/A (x03211)]
C/B (x2x010) [official book: G/B (x20003)]
C (x32010)
D (xx0232)
E (022100)
E7 (020100)
F (x33211)
G (3x0033)
Intro:
-----
Here's my attempt at the intro. It may not be exactly how Noel's playing
it, but it sounds almost exactly the same. For a couple of other attempts
at how to play the intro, see the bottom of this transcription...
Chords used in intro:
Am (x02210)
Am/G# (x02110) [official book: Am(maj7/G#) (4x2210)]
Am7 (x02010) [official book: Am7/G (3x2210)]
Am/F# (x04210) [official book: Am6/F# (2x2210)]
Fmaj7/A (x03210) [official book: Fmaj7 (1x2210)]
Am/D (x00210) [official book: D (xx0232)]
E7 (020100)
So here it goes:
Am Am/G# Am7 Am/F# Fmaj7/A Am/D Am E7 (repeat)
While the book has the intro like this:
Am Am(maj7/G#) Am7/G Am6/F# Fmaj7 D G Am E7
Verse 1
-------
Am
Take the time to make some sense
A7sus4
of what you want to say
Fmaj7/A A7sus4 Am E7
and cast your words away upon the waves
Am
Sail them home with acquiesce
A7sus4
On a ship of hope today
Fmaj7/A A7sus4
And as they land upon the shore
D F
Tell them not to fear no more
G E E7
Say it loud, and sing it proud today
And then
Chorus:
-------
C
Dance if you wanna dance
C/B
Please brother take a chance
Am
You know they're gonna go
G F G C G
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't
C
Know how it's gonna be
C/B
Please brother let it be
Am
Life on the other hand
G F G
won't make you understand
Am A7sus4 Fmaj7/A A7sus4 Am E7
We're all part of the masterplan
Am A7sus4 Fmaj7/A A7sus4 D F
G E E7
Say it loud, and sing it proud today
Verse 2
-------
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
'Cos everything that's been has passed
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud today
And then
CHORUS
After chorus the chords: C B/C Am G are repeated for a while.
OUTRO (same as intro)
A few more attempts at intro/outro: (NOTE: tab below doesn't show the
rythym that should be used, just the chord forms)
Am Am/G# Am/G Am/F# Am/F Am/D
e--0---0-----0-----0-----0----0----0--0 -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- (or perhaps
B--5---5-----5-----5-----5----5----5--0 -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- try playing
G--5---5-----5-----5-----5----5----5--1 or -5-5-5-5-5-5-5-1- the high E
D--7---6-----5-----4-----3----0----7--2 -7-6-5-4-3-0-7-2- string at
A--0---0-----0-----0-----0----0----0--2 -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2- the 7th
