Tunning: Nashville (E A D G B E)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wonderful Land - Shadows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Michael Sheppard
Email: m.sheppard90@live.co.uk

Tuning: Standard

I'm assuming that you are listening to the song while looking at these tabs.
The other version of this song has the correct notes, but incorrect positions on
the fretboard. I'm basing this on videos of Hank Marvin.


This intro is played twice, with a sort of call and response with the French horn.

Intro - Play 2X
E|---15----13--12------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------15--13--15-------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Section 1
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------5-6-6-5----------------------|
G|----------------------------5-5----------5-7----------7-5-7--7-7-7---------|
D|--5---5-7-7-4-------7----7------5------------------------------------------|
A|----5----------5-------8-----------7---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Section 2
E|-------------------5---5----------------------------|
B|--5---------5--------------8-------'6'--------------|
G|----5---------5----------------7---------5----------|
D|------7-5-------7--------------------------6-5------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

Section 3 - Repeat 3X
E|-----------------|
B|-----------------|
G|------4----------|
D|----5---5--------|
A|--7--------------|
E|-----------------|

Section 4 - Same as section 1 but slightly more notes.
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------5-6-6-5----------------|
G|-------------------------------5-5-5-5---------5-7---------7-5-7---7-7-7---|
D|--5---5-7-7-7-7-4------7----7---------5------------------------------------|
A|----5--------------5------8--------------7---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Section 5 - This section is mostly palm-muted, listen to the song to get the feel of it.
E|--8-7------8---------------8-7------8--------12-10-7-8-10-8-7------------|
B|------8-10---10-8--------------8-10---10-8--------------------10---8-----|
G|------------------9-7---------------------------------------------9------|
D|----------------------10-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Play Section 3 (don't forget the repeats)
Play Section 4
Play Section 5
Play Section 3 (but only repeat 2X instead of 3)
Play Intro until fade out.

Et voila!
