The Wake - Abney Park

Tabbed by: Myself
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
This tab is based off of the 2005 mix from the Taxidermy album; this song is mostly
played with heavy distortion.
--Chords--
The guitar plays a sixteenth rhythm of fifth chords throughout the song; this serves as
the chord structure for all parts, verse and chorus included.
Gm F Gm
Debbie dates daily with a boy for every finger
Gm F Gm
She leaves with one now and leaves another left to linger
Bb Am Gm F Gm
Coldly Debbie tells me it's a world of give and take
Gm F Gm
But I say "Debbie, bring it closer to the wake."
--Bridge Riff--
This riff is played during the bridge, which occurs after the second chorus and begins
with the lyrics "Jason jets his jag up to speeds that's past eleven."
Gm F Gm Gm F Gm
