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

Intro [2x]:

      Bm               Bm9(7M)
       v   v   v   v     v   v   v   v
      -------7--------- | -------(b9)--7-----
      -----7-----7----- | -----7-------7---
      ---7---------7--- | ---7-------------
      -(b9)------------(b9) | -8-------------8-
      ----------------- | -----------------

Verse 1:

      Bm           Bm9(7M)/F#
      Open up your eyes and wake up
      Bm7           E                F#7
      Got a lot of time to make up, girl
      Bm              Bm9(7M)
      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
      Abm                 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
