WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
Jesus, I'm waiting here boss
I know you're looking out for us
but maybe your hands aren't free
your Father , He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven
will you put a world in for me
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
listen to your words they're tell you what to do
listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
listen to the reed in the saxophone
listen over the hum of the radio
listen over sounds of blades in rotation
listen through the traffic and circulation
listen as hopeand peace try to rhyme
listen over marching bands playing out their time
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
Jesus, were you just around the corner?
did You think to try and warn her?
or are you working on something new?
if there's an order in all of this disorder
is it like a tape recorder?
can we rewind it just once more
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
That's it...
listen to the song to get the timing right.

CHORUS
[Abm7]wake [Abm7]up, w[Abm7]ake u[Gb6]p de[Db]ad man
Strike the 2 Abm7 hard to get the right sound like on the cd
Here is some crds/tab for wake up dead man.
(tuned down 1/2 step)
[Am]Jesus, jesus [G]help me
[Dm]I'm alone in this world
[C]And what a fucked up world[G] it is too
(verses continue like this all way through, there is a riff/chord change
on the dm chord which I haven't had time to figure out yet)
Chorus:
Am (!!) G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
!! - strike the Am chord twice & let ring
Little chorus riff (play over the G & D chords in the chorus):
a------------5--- e----5---3-------
Note:
Most of the chords are played by striking the bass note of the chord &
then the two bottom strings
ie Am -> ---5-----5- ---5-----5- ----------- ----------- ----------- -5---5-5---
This could actually be way off.... any comments would be nice! :)

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 <heiko.ziegler@stud.uni-regensburg.de>
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

minor correction
C#m to F#m in the last phrase before the chorus.
