Learn how to play Wake Me Up by Avicii. This song has the tricky Bm barre chord in it, so I also offer an easier alternative by using a capo at 2nd fret. The strumming is also a challenge, but mainly because of the speed of the song. Take the time to get it right at a slower speed and you'll get it no problem!

Intro and chorus

|Bm             |G          |D           |D      A       ||

Verses

|Bm             |G          |D           |D              ||

OR with capo 2nd fret (easier)

Intro and chorus

|Am             |F          |C           |C      G       ||

Verses

|Am             |F          |C           |C              ||
