Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine
Tabbed by R.AllenCanterbury
This is a real cool song. Timmy does some neat stuff--variations on what
I call "Riff 4." I've tried to pick them up and make note of them when they
happen (by writing my own variation of Riff 4.), but what's written is by
no means what Timmy's playing. It only sounds neat to me. :) I think the
entire song is here, at least in format. A few slides here and there I
may have missed. Enjoy! Keep on Raging!
