Wonderland is a dramatic, Alice in Wonderland–inspired track from Taylor Swift's 1989. With Capo on the 3rd fret, it uses C, Am, F, and G — the classic I–vi–IV–V progression — in a theatrical, urgent arrangement. The song builds beautifully from a quiet verse to an epic chorus.

Guitar & Piano Playing Tips
The verse C–Am pattern is hushed and mysterious — play quietly with controlled dynamics. The pre-chorus introduces F and G with a rising tension that resolves into the big F–C–G–Am chorus. Practice the pre-chorus build-up carefully; the gradual increase in intensity is what makes the chorus land so powerfully. On piano, try playing the verse in a single octave with a sparse right hand, then expand to full two-handed chords for the chorus.
