OASIS - ALIVE
NOEL GALLAGHER
Tabbed by Sam Southey
This is one of my favorite Oasis songs due to its simple but f*ckn awesome lead guitar
and the build up that surounds it at the end. Any way this is the first tab that ive ever
done but it didn't take me long to work out the lead and add it on. As this is my first
tab could be please give it a rating. Untill next time, live forever.....
RIFF FOR INTRO - same as the verse but for the first two times you only play the bit
between the lines, ie; the 6's, 4's and 0's.

Maybe your time is coming, will you have to climb when you find the wall
F#m A
Is there time to doubt, is there time to wait

Will you be left alone at the starting gate?
