Life Is Wonderful by Jason Mraz Jason Mraz Mr. A-Z Following in the footsteps of my last tabs, I wanted to know how to play this song, so my tab. I tried my best, email me Mageball24@kc.rr.com and recomendations and I'll fix as fast as possible. played 2 times, capo on second fret, all notes relevant to that (remember that the to the first time you play the verse is different than the second) Verse 1: e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| b-----------------------------------------------------------------------| g----------------------------------------6--------6--------6--------6---| d------6--------6--------6--------6----6-6------6-6------6-6------6-6---| a----6-6------6-6------6-6------6-6--4------2-4------2-4------2-4-------| e--4------2-4------2-4------2-4-----------------------------------------| e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| b-----------------------------------------------------------------------| g------9--------9--------9--------9-------------------------------------| d----9-9------9-9------9-9------9-9--------9-------9-------9-------9----| a--7------7-7------7-7------7-7----------9-9-----9-9-----9-9-----9-9----| e------------------------------------7-7-----7-7-----7-7-----7-7--------| First Ending e----- b----- g----- d--4-- a--4-- e--2-- Second Ending e----------| b----------| g--------5-| d------4---| a----4-----| e--2-------| First Chorus: played twice e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| b-----------------------------------------------------------------------| g----------------------------------------6--------6--------6--------6---| d------6--------6--------6--------6----6-6------6-6------6-6------6-6---| a----6-6------6-6------6-6------6-6--4------2-4------2-4------2-4-------| e--4------2-4------2-4------2-4-----------------------------------------| e------------------------------------------------------------------------| b------------------------------------------------------------------------| g----------------------------------4--------4------4------4--------------| d------4------4------4------4----4-4------4-4----4-4----4-4--------------| a----4-4----4-4----4-4----4-4--2--------2------2------2------------------| e--2------2------2------2------------------------------------------------| Second time: (you play the first part, but the change is in the last, so i didn't include the first part) e--------------------| b--------------------| g----------------3---| d------4------4--4---| a----4-4----4-4--4---| e--2------2------2---| Chorus Outro: Basically here he does some finger picked note progressions on this chord: e----- b----- g--5-- d--6-- a--6-- e--4-- He plays this into the verse for the first portion of it and it goes back like the last except instead of the 1-2-3-strum pattern, he finger picks different notes in the chord. it plays out like this: (i've written out the chords to be finger picked, not the exact notes, you can just the chords softly, or, be adventurous and find a cool picking pattern that sounds good with song.) e---------------------------------------------------| b--------------5--5--5--5--8--8--8--8---------------| g--5--5--5--5--6--6--6--6--9--9--9--9--8--8--8--8---| d--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9---| a--6--6--6--6--4--4--4--4--7--7--7--7--9--9--9--9---| e--4--4--4--4--------------------------7--7--7--7---| First Ending: e----- b----- g--3-- d--4-- a--4-- e--2-- Same Verse (second time): this is where a big change occurs. The chords stay the same, but instead of picking them using the 1-2-3-strum pattern, he plays each chord, lets it ring, then plays it again, let's it ring. Take into consideration, there is a large band with a base and drums and possibly second guitar when he recorded this. e---------------------------| b--------5--5--8--8---------| g--5--5--6--6--9--9--8--8---| d--6--6--6--6--9--9--9--9---| a--6--6--4--4--7--7--9--9---| e--4--4--------------7--7---| Bridge Thing: (third verse really) plays this first: e--11-9-7-6--11-9-7-6---| b-----------------------| g-----------------------| d-----------------------| a-----------------------| e-----------------------| after this i'm not sure what he plays, when i play it, I generally just solo around with that. I hope this helps, once again, please contact me with any suggestions, questions, and rate this, high if it deserves it. Brad - Mageball24@kc.rr.com www.TAB6.com
