Well I Wonder chords by The Smiths

Well I Wonder (Album - Meat is murder - Artist - The Smiths)
============================================================


Jim had reproduced the chords from a Warner Music Smiths chord book that I
also have a copy of,and like him, was never happy with how this translated
to the guitar. I haven't edited his version because it would have taken too
long - So here is my effort to give this tune a bona fide Guitarist stamp!


Anyway enjoy this really beautiful (and under-rated) song by the Smiths -
(the last few bars from Jonny Marr are to die for!)

Don't attempt this unless you have a 12 string and a GOOD capo (Buy a SHUBB
- they are EXCELLENT!)

Put the Capo on the 2nd fret (Tip- if you want to get the Smiths right - try
using a capo on the 2nd fret if you're stuck on transcription - Marr was
very chord based when picking his melodies)

Please pay attention to the chord voicings below...

Repeat above section & pick away on the chords
it'll always sound great on a 12 string! Please
Let me know if you can get the arpeggios - it was
getting too late in the day for me to work them out

If this worked well for you, let me know:- I'm such a
fan of this song, and I'm glad I cracked the worst of it
