WISHLIST-Live (Perth, Australia, 23rd Feb, 2003)
**NB: The Wishlist tab by Pat Giles (@ www.olga.net) was used for some of this tab.**
Standard tuning - low to hi - EADGBE
Note: The lead guitar parts can be played several different ways on
various parts of the fretboard.
Chords:
**NB: I think it sounds better if you use barrel/power chords, so i will list them as well.**
: X32010 or c: 335533 }Instead of just strumming the chords, try picking
: X33211 or : 133211 }a few notes (strings) in between. This is not
: 320033 or : 355433 }essential but i think it gives a nicer sound.
}Just pick what ever sounds nicest to you!!
Tab notations:
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
/ = slide up
= slide down
~ = hold/shake note
The intro/basic rhythm for the verses is this:

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off,
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on,
I wish i was a sentimental orniment you hung on,
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top,

I wish I was the radio song, the one that you turned up,
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish,
I guess it never stops.
