Wake Up chords by Alanis Morissette

Wake Up: As played on Ironic Single CD (Modern Rock Live: Nov. 12 1995)

The reason why I took the time to tab this whole song is because this is my
most favourite song from Alanis, and especially this acoustic version.

I believe this is as close as you can get from playing it, I have seen many
attempts but not quite happy with it.

In order to simplify my work, I have simplify the chord picking into 4
different patterns which you will use as I suggest:


		Pattern I     Pattern II
e--------0-----0-------|-------0-----0-------|
B----7-----7-------7---|---7-----7-------7---|
G--4---4-----4---4-----|-5---5-----5---5-----|
D----------------------|---------------------|
A----------------------|---------------------|
E----------------------|---------------------|

		Pattern III    Pattern IV
e--------0-----0-------|----0-----0-----0-----0-|
B----7-----7-------7---|------7-----7-----7-----|
G--6---6-----6---6-----|--8-----8-----8-----8---|
D----------------------|------------------------|
A----------------------|------------------------|
E----------------------|------------------------|

Here are also some chords and how I think they are played (the conventional
can do, but sound a bit different), I particularly the D shape and use it
for a lot of other songs:

  C      D     G      E      E+
e|--0--|	e|--0--|	e|--3--|	e|--0--| 	e|--0--|
B|--1--|	B|--3--|	B|--3--|	B|--0--| 	B|--0--|
G|--0--|	G|--0--|	G|--0--|	G|--1--| 	G|--2--|
D|--2--|	D|--4--|	D|--0--|	D|--2--| 	D|--2--|
A|--3--|	A|--5--|	A|--2--|	A|--2--| 	A|--2--|
E|--x--|	E|--x--|	E|--3--|	E|--0--| 	E|--0--|


Outro Chorus Chords:

  C5     D5     E5
e|--0--|	e|--0--|	e|--0--|
B|--0--|	B|--0--|	B|--0--|

This is it, I suppose, it is not mistake proofed, but should give you quite
a good idea on how to play it. It sounds brilliant on acoustic guitar, and
electric guitar as well.

Enjoy,
