The Masterplan (1998)
The Masterplan

This is another one of my favorites by Oasis, truly an epic song and 
another where our lads are accompanied by a string and horn section.
There's alot of weird chords used in this song, and the chords are sort 
of hard to hear (especially in the intro) because of the string 
section, so keep an open mind when you see this transcription on 
paper, because if you play the song, you'll hear these chords are pretty
much the right ones. Written next to some of the chords I use for this
song are the chords listed in the official Oasis B-sides guitar book
(thanks to Paul Das 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:
    EADGBe
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     x07500 
Am/G#    x06500    (official book: Am(maj7/G#)    4x2210)
Am7      x05500    (official book: Am7/G           3x2210)
Am/F#     x04500      (official book: Am6/F#           2x2210)
Fmaj7/A  x03500    (official book: Fmaj7           1x2210)
Am/D     x00500    (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)
