How Could I Be Wrong
Track 7 - 'New Wave'

Tabbed by Ben Hollis

This should be pretty
Accurate, I'm not
Certain it should be
Played with a capo
But it makes the song
A lot easier to play.

I've written the chords
As played with the capo
At the third fret – i.e.
The song is in Cm, but
You play Am
(except in the solo where
I’ve used normal fret
Numbers for simplicity)

Capo third fret

Intro (8 bars)
Am    Am    D5    F
Am    Am    D5    E

Verse (8 bars)
Am    Am    D5    F
Am    Am    D5    E

Play this four bar sequence
through twice

I'm not 100 percent certain
About that G chord, but
There are only so many
Chords you can put into a
Descending chord sequence
Between A and F

Chorus (8 bars)
F    Am    F    E (x2)

Solo (8 bars)
Am   Am    D5   F
Am   Am    D5   E

D-15b-15b-15b--15-13-12

D-15b-15b-15b--17

The lead line can be played
Entirely on the D string,
I'm not sure how you get that
Sound of the note breaking up
When you bend it (is it just
Mr Haines' guitar setup?)
but you can get fairly close.

The whole song goes:


Intro (8 bars)
Am    Am    D5    F
Am    Am    D5    E

Verse (8 bars)
Am    Am    D5    F
Am    Am    D5    E

Pre-Chorus (8 bars)
C E/B A G   F     E (x2)

Chorus (8 bars)
F     Am    F     E (x2)

Solo (8 bars)
Am    Am    D5    F
Am    Am    D5    E

Verse (8 bars)
Am    Am    D5    F
Am    Am    D5    E

Pre-Chorus (8 bars)
C E/B A G   F     E (x2)

Chorus (8 bars)
F     Am    F     E (x2)

Solo (8 bars)
Am    Am    D5    F
Am    Am    D5    E

Pre-Chorus (8 bars) (no vocals)
C E/B A G   F     E (x2)

Chorus (8 bars)
F     Am    F     E (x2)

Outro (4 bars)
Am    Am    D5    D5
End on Am

The lead line in the outro
Is roughly

D-15b-15b-15b—15-13-12---------
A----------------------13-13s15


The bassline follows the chords,
But I suggest that during the
Verses etc you play:

  Cm    Cm    F#    Ab

A-3-----3------------
E-------------2-----4

I.e., the F# is below the C
