Wonder Tab

by Natalie Merchant


from the album Tigerlily

Here's what I've worked out in terms of the chords.  I haven't worked on the
lead
guitar stuff however.

First of all, you need to capo the 1st fret on your guitar.
The chords I have given are relative to the capo.


Intro :                        (x2)

Verse 1 :
                                       
             Doctors have come from distant cities

                                        
             just to see me stand over my bed

                      
             disbelieving what they're seeing


Chorus :                                 
             they say I must be one of the wonders

                         
             of God's own creation

                                               
             and as far as they can see they can offer

                  
             no explanation

Verse 2 : same pattern of chords as Verse 1 (    )

           newspapers ask intimate questions
           want confessions they reach into my head
           to steal the glory of my story

Chorus

Bridge :          
                 I believe

                                 
                fate smiled and destiny

                                        
                laughed as she came to my cradle

                                       
                "know this child will be able"

                                     
                laughed as my body she lifted

                                       
                "know this child will be gifted

                                                         
                 with love, with patience and with faith,

                               
                 she'll make her way"

verse 3 (just like verses 1 & 2)

           people see me I'm a challenge
           to your balance, I'm over your heads
           how I confound you and astound you
           to know I must be one the wonders of...(Chorus)

bridge (just like the 1st one)

          I believe fate smiled & destiny
          laughed as she came to my cradle
          "know this child will be able"
          laughed as she came to my mother
          "know this child will not suffer"
          laughed as my body she lifted
          "know this child will be gifted
          with love, with patience and with faith
          she'll make her way...she'll make her way

I hope that this helps out someone!
