Wake Up chords by Alanis Morissette

Chords with lyrics

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 MajorD shape and use it
for a lot of other songs:

    C majorC           D MajorD          G+G           E MajorE           E MajorE+
e|--0--|	e|--0--|	e|--3--|	e|--0--| 	e|--0--|
BB|--1--|	BB|--3--|	BB|--3--|	BB|--0--| 	BB|--0--|
G+G|--0--|	G+G|--0--|	G+G|--0--|	G+G|--1--| 	G+G|--2--|
D MajorD|--2--|	D MajorD|--4--|	D MajorD|--0--|	D MajorD|--2--| 	D MajorD|--2--|
A augmentedA|--3--|	A augmentedA|--5--|	A augmentedA|--2--|	A augmentedA|--2--| 	A augmentedA|--2--|
E MajorE|--x--|	E MajorE|--x--|	E MajorE|--3--|	E MajorE|--0--| 	E MajorE|--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,
