Wake Me Up Guitar Chords And Lyrics By Derek Ryan
The sheet music tab for the tin whistle is in the key of D Major. Original song by Avicii. Also recorded As Gaeilge by Vs Lurgan. Written by Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins. Derek plays this one with a capo on the 2nd fret and uses the chords I have given. He's actually playing in Bm. Some people hate playing certain chords such as Bm and instead use a capo to transpose the chords. There are others ways of playing the chords, such as - instead of playing the Am play Bm, and for F play G, and for C play D and for G use A. I have also included the tin whistle notes in sheet and letter form along with the lyrics in Irish / Gaeilge.

"Wake Me Up" as Gaeilge / Irish Stiofán Ó Fearail ó Seo Linn in éineacht le scoláirí & foireann chúrsa C lena leagan féin de "Wake Me Up" le Avicii. Chuaigh an t-úafás oibre agus réiteach isteach sa bhfíseán ceoil seo agus tá súil againn go dtaitneoidh sé libh Fáinne fí i gcoim na hoíche. (Níl) 'tada riamh nach mbíonn thart. Diabhail fhios a'm cá bhfuil deireadh mo scéil Ach táim ar an mbealach ceart. Deir siad liom gan a dhul sa tseans, Nach dtagann ciall roimh aois. Bhuel 'sé m'aistear é, Ní léir cén fhad a mhairfidh sé, 'Sé togha ar aon chaoi. So Lig mé saor ón suan 'tá orm. (Tai)speáin 'om bóthar éasca cothrom. Bainfidh mé ceann scríbe amach, sí m'aidhm, Cíbe treo átá i ndán. (Tá) Mé ag iompar úalach mór an tsaoil Ach níl a'm ach péire lámh. Suile troma is an ghrian a dhul faoi Ach ní chodlaíonn mé go sámh. "Bris amach agus tú fós sach óg." Chinnigh mé le dul in aghaidh. Seo mo ré, Seasfaidh mé an fód, 'S leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh. |
