Waking Up Beside You Tabs

(ver. 1)
Stabbing Westward
Stabbing Westward
"Waking Up Beside You"

In my opinion, the best song that Stabbing Westward made. The other tabs aren't completely wrong,
but they're far enough off that this needed to be done. So on with the tab...

Drop D Tuning: low to high (D A D G B e)

Symbols used:
* = let note or chord ring

*The song starts with keyboards for the duration of the 1st verse and chorus. Guitar enters at 1:50.

Interlude after 1st Chorus:
