GODSMACK - "awake2" Tablature
Official GODSMACK Tablature & Sheet Music »
I give something back. It's not often when i sit down to figure out
a song but i know its a pain to do, so Here it is -- To the best of
my knowledge this is 100% correct. This song is just as easy as any
other Godsmack tune (Except Bad Religion -- that one is REALLY easy).
Drop D tuning, tuned down one whole step
low to high C G C F A D
INTRO :

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official GODSMACK tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
