--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The version of this song that I found on OLGA was pitifully

incomplete. So here it is folks, my nearly complete version of

"Wake Up." There are two guitar parts laid on top of each other,

but I only tabbed out the first, the most important part of the

second is during the verse and that's just mainly funky-wah type

staggering.

(I skipped the second solo, you can do that on you own.  good luck)



DROP D TUNING



INTRO



It goes something like this.  Strum the opening chord and let

it ring.  Don't actually stagger the "X" bar, just kind of pause.

Main part repeats over and over.
