Columbia Tab by Oasis

Columbia tab by Oasis

Guitar Tab

Columbia, written by Liam and Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis.
Song can be found on the album "Definitely Maybe", and the "white label demo"
version of the song can be found on the UK "Supersonic" single.

Tab Key:

b = bend (7b8 means bend the string at the 7th fret to make approximately
the note that the string would make if it were played at the 8th fret with
no bend)
r = release bend
h = hammer on
p = pull off
x = mute the string with one of your fingers

NOTE: Though most of the song just goes from "A" to "D" to "C", here's how
Noel plays along with those basic chords when the guitar first comes in at
the beginning of the song until the first chorus:
