"Wake Up, Wake Up"
(P.F. Sloan - Steve Barri)

My all-time favorite Grass Roots single even if it didn't do squat on the
charts...

Intro [2x]:

Bm Bm9(maj7)

Verse 1:

Bm Bm9(maj7)/F#
Open up your eyes and wake up
Bm7 E F#7
Got a lot of time to make up, girl
Bm Bm9(maj7)
Time goes by in such a hurry
Bm7 E F#7
Why'd you sit around and worry so, don't you know
A C#m
You've been living your life in a shell
G#m F#m E
Now's the time has come to break the spell

Chorus:

C G F C
Everybody's got to shine sometime
C G F G
It's just a matter of time you know
Am G F C
There's a whole new world for you to discover
Bb F F G
Wake up, wake up

Verse 2:

Life is just a book of pages
And you still got so many to fill in
Don't put down what's happenin' around you
Just because they told you it's a sin
How do you know until you try
Love is callin' so spread your wings and fly

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

C#m7-5 F#7 Bm
Got so many things to show you
C#m7-5 F#7 Bm
Groovy things that we can share together
C#m7-5 F#7 Bm Bb+ Am
Baby, no no no don't be afraid of tomorrow

There's a whole new world for you to discover
C G G A
Wake up, wake up baby
