"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)
	 v   v   v   v     v   v   v   v
	-------7---------|-------9---7-----
	-----7-----7-----|-----7-------7---
	---7---------7---|---7-------------
	-9-------------9-|-8-------------8-
	-----------------|-----------------
	-----------------|-----------------

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
