Tabbed by Alejo Eremita

This is the first Ten Years After I've tried to tab. Beautiful song.
The song is not 100% accurate, but I think is good enough.

A                           D
  There's someone somewhere   who can't go on
A                      D
  Their life is crying,   it's all gone wrong
A                    D
  What can I say now    to help you through
A                    D
  Except to say that I've been there too?

-Chorus With Chords

           A        C
You got to wake up, shake up
D                  A
You got a right to live
A         C
Shake up, don't break up
D                   A
You've got a lot to give

-Rest Of The Lyrics

You'll wake up one morning, you start to feel good
The sun in the blue sky looks like it should
'cause time is a healer, it's strange but it's true
So, keep looking forward, the sun will come through

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

(Solo over A and D chords, play a mixture of A major and minor Pentatonic)

There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is crying, it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too? 

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
