There's not much soloing on Wonderful Tonight.  It's all just small variations
on a 4 bar theme:

       G                         D/F#
    e -------------------------|-------------------------|
    B --------(10)b12r10-8--10-|---------(10)b12r10-8----|
    G -------------------------|-----------------------9-|
    D -------------------------|-------------------------|
    A -------------------------|-------------------------|
    E -------------------------|-------------------------|
       1 & 2 &      3  & 4 &     1 & 2 &       3  & 4 &

       C                              D
    e -------------------------|-----------8-/12--10---|
    B --------(10)b12r10-8--10-|-(10)/12---------------|
    G -------------------------|-----------------------|
    D -------------------------|-----------------------|
    A -------------------------|-----------------------|
    E -------------------------|-----------------------|
       1 & 2 &      3  & 4 &           1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

The timing may be slightly off (I didn't bring my guitar to work today ;-) but
you should get the idea...


For completeness, here are the chords and lyrics:

    G                D/F#
    It's late in the evening
    C                    D
    She's wondering what clothes to wear
    G               D/F#
    She puts on her make up
    C               D
    And brushes her long blonde hair
    C            D
    And then she asks me
    G    D/F#   Em
    Do I look alright
              C             D           G     D/F# C D
    And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

    We go a party
    And everyone turns to see
    This beautiful lady
    That's walking around with me
    And then she asks me
    Do you feel alright
    And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

           C
    I feel wonderful
      D               G          D/F#    Em
    Because I see the love light in your eyes
            C            D
    And the wonder of it all
                C             D
    Is that you just don't realize
               G        D/F# C D G D/F# C D
    How much I love you

    It's time to go home now
    And I've got an aching head
    So I give her the car keys
    She helps me to bed
    And then I tell her
    As I turn out the light
    I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
    Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight


Enjoy,
  Kim
