My all-time favorite Grass Roots single even if it didn't do squat on the charts...
Intro [2x]:
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:
9(maj7)/F# Open up your eyes and wake up
Got a lot of time to make up, girl Bm9(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
