Wake Up In The Morning chords by Ford Theatre

Chords with lyrics

From: Ford Theatre Time Changes -A New Musical ABC Records, 1969

[You can hear this song on YouTube while watching a video the band made in 1969
(?), running amok through beautiful
downtown Milford, Massachusetts. Its really great!

Ford Theatre did not receive the credit or love they deserved. Tremendous talents
across the board.
I really enjoyed the Time Changes album, back in the day.
There are a few other songs from this album on YouTube; you should check them
out. A augmentedA great band and a great record.]

    D-A-D/E D/ED/E D/ED/E (hammer) D/F  D MajorD A augmentedA D/ED/E A/D/E hammer FF  (3x)

string, to c note (on the A augmentedA string),
to the b note to open A augmentedA string rapidly followed by the A7A7 chord.
