Wake Up propper Guitar Tablature
SONG: Wake Up
Artist: Rage Against the Machine
tabber: Ian
mail: [email protected]

hi everyone, i made this tab because i was looking how to play this song and i could not find any
tabs that where good, i found good sections in different tabs, so i made a good tab incorporating
all the good stuff of other tabs and some of my own stuff, for example i couldant find a tab that
had got the main riff right but they were close so i made it right.
when you look at this tab and listen to the music and follow it through dont be out off but alot
of numbers together, i suggest picking up your guitar and and playing it slowley till u get it 
right then it will sound good and u can make most of my hard work.
please Enjoy!!
