Wonderwall Chords

Full guitar & piano chord chart — Capo 2nd Fret · Key: F#m (sounds) / Em (shapes)

Wonderwall by Oasis is arguably the most famous beginner guitar song in history. With Capo on the 2nd fret, it uses a unique partial-barre voicing — keeping the high-E and B strings open throughout — to create its signature jangly sound. The main chords are Em7, G, Dsus4, and A7sus4 (with open top strings).

Guitar & Piano Playing Tips

The Wonderwall chord voicings are distinct: for Em7, G, Dsus4, and A7sus4, keep your ring and pinky fingers on the B (2nd fret) and high E (3rd fret) strings throughout the entire verse. Only your index and middle fingers move between chords. This 'static top string' technique gives Wonderwall its unmistakeable sound. On piano, the song's suspended chord feel can be replicated by adding the 4th (sus4) or 2nd (sus2) to standard chords instead of the 3rd.
