Clueless Wonder tab by Joel Plaskett

Tabbed by: Colin Finlay

First off, I have to give 99 percent credit to Patrick Hickey and Skinner for their tab.
I didn't even know open A tuning was a tuning on the guitar at first and their tab is
almost bang on. I was doing some research on the open A tuning, and I found that it is
used for mainly slide guitar players. The reason why it sounds so good is because most
of the chords are played open so the strings resonate and give that awesome sound.
When you put your fingers down on the frets to play the chord it takes away for what
the tuning was meant for, to be played as open as possible.

I don't want to critique someone's tab, but it's been raining all day and I've been
listening to this song and watching every video I can to pick up any chords that
I believe are right.

Once again, tuning and most chords are courtesy of Patrick Hickey and Skinner.

~ = Vibrato
/ = Slide up
\ = Slide down
h = hammer
(5) = harmonic

Patrick's chord naming to avoid confusion)

Riff A:

This was really hard to figure out. I saw Joel live and I couldn't figure out what he was
doing for this riff moving sliding his hands from the 2nd to 4th fret in the chorus.
The bass plays the D and A which you hear over the guitar, but if you listen really
carefully to the song you can hear this part. Get the timing from the song.

intro was perfect!



Verse:

A
Clueless wonder
B              A
Why do you believe
B               A               D		Fill A
why do you believe that we're closing in on you?
A
Clueless wonder,
B                A
You could not conceive
B                 A           D
You could not conceive the damage you could do

Fill A:
(A little lick that plaskett does in between verses)

Chorus:

E                        riff A
Your brighter then the sun,
E                        riff A
Your numb to all the pain,
E                    D                                     E
Your so unlike the ones who live there life on lovers lane,


E		A
Fill B
E		A

Fill B is the same as Fill A, just instead of the open Dflat string, its a
harmonic on the 5th fret

Verse 2:
The only thing different in Verse 2 from Verse 1 is BaddF#. From listening to the song
it sounds like another track for guitar playing the single high note, it's not necessary
to play, but when playing by yourself it stands out.

A
Clueless wonder
BaddF#            A
Who do you suppose,
BaddF#        A           D
Who do you suppose might save you from yourself
A                        BaddF#                  A
Will you find another who will sweep you off your feet,
           BaddF#		      D
Who could sweep you off your feet and take you somewhere else


Chorus

Intro

*****Breakdown: Bass only

Clueless wonder,

Who is on this earth,

Who is on this earth who knows you like I do.

Could there be another who could feel your beating heart,

Who can see into your soul,
    D*
and knows that it is true.

* = (also on the high e string 10th fret, with delay and reverb)


Chorus


Outro:

Do this 7 times

--12-12-12-10-10-10-9-9--9/7--7/5---  after the 7th time end on -2-
------------------------------------ 				---
--12-12-12-10-10-10-9-9--9/7--7/5---				-2-
------------------------------------				---
------------------------------------				---
------------------------------------				---

Overall this was a hard song to tab, the bass is very loud in this song and it can
be deceiving especially in the Chorus.
