Waking Up
Elastica

Riff used throughout song:

Ex-------------------------------------------
Bx-------------------------------------------
Gx-------------------------------------------
D--9-9-12-12-7-7-9-9---9-9-14-14-7-7-9-9--
A--9-9-12-12-7-7-9-9---9-9-14-14-7-7-9-9--
E--7-7-10-10-5-5-7-7---7-7-12-12-5-5-7-7--

These notes are also individually picked from E up to D in the same chord format

Rhythm speeds up when the vocals kick in.  Guitar punctuates key words in the ly

D--9-------------12---7----9---
A--9-------------12---7----9---
E--7-------------10---5----5---

        "Work very hard, but I'm lazy..."

D--9-------------14---7----9---
A--9-------------14---7----9---
E--7-------------12---5----5---

       "I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show..."

       Chorus uses main riff at top, till this part:

D--14-14-------------7-7-
A--14-14-------------7-7-
E--12-12-------------5-5-

       "Make a cup of tea, put a record on..."

Little ditty riff played after chorus:

D--16--14--12/13/12-11--------------------
A-----------------------14--12--11/12/11-9
E-------------------------------------------

  Here's another way of playing the main four chords:

Ex
G-------------------------------------------
B------7-7----------------9-9---------------
D--9-9-7-7-7-7-9-9---9-9-9-9-7-7-9-9------
A--9-9-5-5-7-7-9-9---9-9-7-7-7-7-9-9------
E--7-7-----5-5-7-7---7-7-----5-5-7-7-------

It's much easier on the fingers.

This song is my theme song...
