wake up boo!
Sent in by mrk.
If playing on guitar, tune strings down a semitone so you'll
be playing in D Flat. (This is to play the part needing the open E properly).
(Intro)
B-flat,C,Am x3
B-flat,C,D
A
(Verse 1)
Summer's gone, days spent with the grass and sun (D,C,Bm,G)
I don't mind, to pretend I do seems really dumb (D,C,Bm,E)
I rise as the morning comes (B-flat,C,Am)
Crawling through the blinds (B-flat,C,Am)
I shouldn't be up at this time (B-flat,C,Am)
But I can't sleep with you there by my side (B-flat,C,D)
Chorus)
Wake up it's a beautiful morning (B-flat,C,Am)
Feel the sun shining for your eyes(B-flat,C,Am)
Wake up it's so beautiful (B-flat,C,Am)
For what could be the very last time (B-flat,C,D)
[1st time - D-chord in brass, A in bass]
[2nd time - go straight to middle section]
(Verse 2)
[Follow same format as for verse 1 - Lyrics are included on CD sleeve]
(Chorus)
[As above]
(Middle Section)
Aah Aah Aah Aah (A,D,A7,D)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (A,D,A7,D) x2
[All above chords have A in bass]
But you can't blame me
Not for the death of summer
No you can't blame me
Not for the death of summer
[note 1]
But you're gonna say (C,Bm)
What you wanna say (C,Bm)
You have to put the death in everything (Am,Bm,Cmaj7)
[note 2]
C,D,Bm x2
(Chorus)
[As above but with chords C,D,Bm for each of the four lines]
REPEAT CHORUS (with chords C,D,Bm)
Aah Aah Aah! (B-flat,C,D)
[note 1] - From 'But you can't blame...' to '...death of summer'. There are no
chords to 'strum' here, strictly speaking, but if anyone is desperate to know
what's going on I could transcribe it note for note. (The first chord of this
section is G, by the way).
note 2] - From 'But you're gonna...' to '...death in everything'. Make sure you
hit the bottom (i.e. highest sounding) E in each of these chords. (This makes
the Bm chords added-fourth chords).
note] - To avoid any confusion, a lower-case 'm' signifies 'minor'.
{note] - The harmony is more complex than detailed here but this should be
enough for most people's needs.
