CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA
(Gallagher)Note: There's a whole lot of stuff going on in this song (including 3
guitars), so I've tried to transcribe everything. The 1st guitar
(Bonehead) is acoustic-sounding during all verses and the 1st chorus and
plays with distortion only during the 2nd & 3rd choruses, the bridges, and
musical interlude. The second guitar (Noel) plays the intro solo and the
fills during all the verses and pre-choruses with a muffled effect, and
plays little solo parts with a dirty-sounding distortion. The 3rd guitar
(Paul Weller, I believe) steps in with a cleaner but heavier distortion to
play the guitar solo during the musical interlude.

[NOTE: Use this rythym and chord progression when playing all verses and 
the first chorus]

Tab Key:
s = slide
/ = long downward slide
b = bend (5b6 means bend the string at the 5th fret to make the note the
string would make at the 6th fret with no bend)
r = release bend
(H) = harmonic
h = hammer on
p = pull off
^ = let note ring while making the note "vibrate"

In the following places where "Riff 1" is listed, play this:

  G2
B------10------10------10------10-------10------10------10------10--
G-9h11----9h11----9h11----9h11-----9h11----9h11----9h11----9h11-----

[NOTE: When trying to learn the guitar solo, I would suggest listening to
the song and learning exactly when the soloing guitar plays which notes
relative to when the rhythym guitar changes chords. Then, follow along
with this transcription to hear the rhythym of the fills and the riffs
during the solo relative to the chord changes.]

No Picture Damien Wanna Be	#1 by Damien Pritchard at Sep 15, 1970 at 1:37 AM EST
	I Believe this was released as a single in Australia but for some reason (may be something to do with the 'Gettin High') wasn't released in the UK, would have been at No.1 for many weeks!

No Picture Laurence Average	#2 by Laurence Alam at Aug 5, 1978 at 2:18 PM EST
	has to be one of my all time favorite songs :-)

No Picture Håvard Average	#3 by Håvard Banne at Apr 24, 1984 at 8:16 PM EST
	Mate, it's "Cos' people believe" instead of "Cuz' we don't believe" and "Wake up at dawn" not "Wake up the dawn", little mistakes but you gotta get it right. I thank you

No Picture Jeremy Rhythm Player	#4 by Jeremy Dosser at Jul 1, 2006 at 9:11 PM EST
	As RPZQ said above from the interview with Noel Gallagher, I don't think this song means anything literal particularly (at least the song as a whole doesn't - different lines by themselves might). But the feeling you get from listening to the song is amazing. The lyrics don't make sense, but this song is all about the rush you get. "someday you will find me / caught beneath the landslide / in a champagne supernova in the sky". Fantastic.
