Rage Against The Machine — Wake Up (ver 4) Tab

  Rate this tab:
FROM: Kevin Dole (kdole@provide.net)

Song: Wake Up
Band: Rage Against the Machine
Album: Rage Againt the Machine

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.
