Title: Wings
Artist: Wide Awake
Album: Thread
Copyright 2000 (?) True Tunes Records, Rhythm House Records, LLC
Tabbed by: Matthew Trent (term@linux.com) 1/6/2001

Ok, this is a pretty much unknown band right now, but I did find their
CD at my local Christian book store, so they’re up and coming. It’s some
of the best stuff I’ve ever heard, and this song has a particularly
sweet intro, so I sat down and figured it out. To get the strums just
right you really have to listen to it. www.threadmusic.com would be a
good place to start.

There’s a rather long solo at the end that I didn’t bother with, but
you should be able to make it sound ok by playing around on the high
E at the 6, 8 and 10th frets, among others.

And I still haven’t quite figured out if the band’s name is Thread or
Wide Awake. Oh well, one is the album name and one is the band name. ;-)

Capo on 3rd fret. All numbers relative to 0th fret (ie, NOT the capo).

There's a WideAwake worship band somewhere around UTA (Arlington, TX). I've never heard them-or this-before though so...I don't know if this is them or not. Could be.

If this is the same Wide Awake i know...they started out calling themselves "common thread". they had to change their name to just "thread" and again because other bands already having those names, they changed again to the title of their first disc..."wide awake". they are from marysville washington and their stuff is great.
