			    "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]:

	               (maj7)
	 v   v   v   v     v   v   v   v
	-------7---------|-------9---7-----
	-----7-----7-----|-----7-------7---
	---7---------7---|---7-------------
	-9-------------9-|-8-------------8-
	-----------------|-----------------
	-----------------|-----------------

Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

	                       
	Everybody's got to shine sometime
	                             
	It's just a matter of time you know
	                                  
	There's a whole new world for you to discover
	          
	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:

	-5       
	   Got so many things to show you
	-5            
	  Groovy things that we can share together
	-5               +       
	  Baby, no no no don't be afraid of tomorrow

Link:

	       
	La la la la
	       
	La la la la

	
	 / / / /  [6x; drum roll into coda]

Coda [repeat to fade]:

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