*If you listen to the song the chords(A7sus4) and (Em7) alternate between hitting the open D string and plucking the bottom strings to hitting the D string with index finger on the 2nd fret. You'll have to play with it to get the right timing but when you do, it sounds great. Then at the end of the first verse it kicks into a regular chord variation.* A7sus4=(x 0 0 0 3 3) Em7=(x x 2 x 3 3) Am=(x 0 2 2 1 0) Cmaj=(x 3 2 x 1 x) G=(3 2 x x 3 3) Cadd9=(x 3 2 x 3 3) D=(x x 0 2 3 2) Em7/B=(x 2 2 x 3 3) Woke Up in America Capo 1 [Intro] A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 Em7 [Verse 1]
