Oasis
Magic Pie
Be Here Now
tabbed by nongoth

This is my first tab from this album although I have tabbed 5 things from Definitely Maybe. Both albums rule. This song is no.3 and features Noel Gallagher singing which he does about once per album.

Intro (after 8 seconds)
Dm  Dm  Am  Am  F  F  G  G

Intro Gtr2:
B---------12-10--------------|
G---10h12--------------------|
D----------------------12-10-|
A----------------10h12-------|

Verse1
       Dm	      Am
An extraordinary guy
    F				  G
Can never have an ordinary day,
Dm			  Am
He might live a long goodbye
    F	          G
But that is not for me to say
  Dm			   Am
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes
    F				    G
But he is just a child with nothing to lose
        Dm    Am     F     G
But his mind..........his mind

Here, play the F in 4 strong even beats and the G in 8 quicker beats. At least point, whack on the distortion for the heavy bit to come.

Verse2
Dm			   Am
They are sleeping while they dream
    F	                G
And then they want to be adored
Dm			    Am
They who don't say what they mean
     F				     G
Will live and die by their own sword.
Dm				   Am
I dig their friends, I dig their shoes
    F                          G
But they are like a child with nothing to lose
          Dm   Am  F     G
In their minds.....their minds.

Bridge
For the bridge, the first guitar part is almost completely incomprehensible so I switch to Gtr2 and play this:

B---------12-10---------------------|
G---10h12---------------------------|
D--------------------12-10-10-10h12-|
A---------------10h12---------------|

I’ll have my way,
In my own time,
I’ll have my say,
My star will shine.

On ‘shine’ hit the D---12-| and let it ring.

Drum Fill

Chorus
     D	       C			  G
Cos’ you see me I got my Magic Pie
D		       C						  G
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
     D			    Em~
I’ve been and now I’ve gone.
D	C	D	G

Link to verse:
D---10---10---10-10--10-10-12-12-12-12-|

Verse2
There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years
Many minds to educate people who have disappeared
D’you dig my friends, D’you dig my shoes,
But I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind
My mind

Bridge2
The same but the fill is:
G------------------------|
D---10-10-10-10-12-10-(x?)
A------------------------|
Again strum the 12 at ‘shine’.

Repeat Chorus
At the end of the chorus play the:
D	C	D	G
four times.

Outro
Randomly tremolo pick the G-chord. When a drum fill ends strum harder. Continue this three times until the weird build-up then slide the G-chord up slowly whilst you tremolo pick and play the final strum when Noel says ‘Shut Up’ in the background.

That’s the end of Magic Pie. Have fun playing it. A great one to play at parties cos’ it sounds so good but is easy. Have fun my hard rockin’ amigos.
