Wake Up Deadman from:GregL550@aol.com In Eb, here it is. It involves picking chords. Slight distortion is used during the chorus: Verse: Am G F Dm C G Chorus: Am G D the Dm Edge plays is like this: -----------------0--------------E -----------------6-------------B -----------------7------------G -----------------7----------------D -----------------5----------------A Wake Up Deadman from:Heiko Ziegler Verses : Fis Fis Gism Gism E Cism H Fis (I wrote the first Fis and the first Gism two times to give you a better idea of the timing ) Refrain: Gism Fis Instead of playing the Fis accord in the refrain you can play on the 2., 1. and the 4. fret with the a-string (actually ,that`s what the Edge plays ). I have tried to fix a little bit on Wake Up... This is my verson(some errors, but I'll correct them later) Enjoy I also have the bass-line to If You Wear... here it is: G C(#?) A F E F G (and so on). it also contain an A in the bridge. If any comments to the chords or my English, mail me Xyndiack@hotmail.com Oyvind Aasan minor correction C#m to F#m in the last phrase before the chorus. Xyndiack Oyvind Aasan
