Wishlist live — Pearl Jam

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.

C: X32010 or c: 335533 }Instead of just strumming the chords, try picking F: X33211 or F: 133211 }a few notes (strings) in between. This is not G: 320033 or G: 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.
