Wondering Guitar Tablature
   Artist : Good Charlotte (Benji Madden & Billy Martin)
   Song   : Wondering
   Album  : The Young And Hopeless
   Date   : 3-8-2003
   Tuning : Half step down (Es,As,Des,Ges,Bes,es)

   As I said, the tuning is a half step down but during the tab, I'll just write it 
   down like the 'normal' tuning,otherwise it would take too much space.. 
   And I would probably mix 'em up all the time:)
   Well, here we go:P

   Intro A, Guitar 1: (If you want me to wait, I will wait for you,..)
   3x				         1x

                                        At the end you go from the note E,
                                        to the chord E, just slightly..

Well, that's it, maybe you saw that I've put some notes between (),
and your wondering what I meant.. Well, when I've put them around notes,
then, to my knowledge, I heared those notes, so I tabbed them.. But you can't 
hear them very well so maybe you think that the tab is wrong, or you think the 
song becomes ugly or too 'full' when you play the notes. So it's up to you if you 
wanna play them. With or without, it both sounds allright to me..:)

I've also put lines from the song trough the tab so you can get the timing a
little bit better. I haven't got any 'order', just play it from the top to the 
bottom, you don't have to scroll up again or something to get the right part..

Anyway.. I hope this tab is right, I saw a lot of tabs from this song allready but 
some where totally wrong or they where missing stuff like solo's or something.. 
So I made one myself:) But I guess this one's not 100% accurate, I think it is, 
but I guess you'll allways make little mistakes:)

If you got anything to tell or ask me about the tab or something, please e-mail me:
[email protected]
And please rate this tab and give corrections too, if you think its nessecary..
Well, have fun with the tab and the song, the song rules..and it's not that hard..
