OPEN UP YOUR SOUL (Paul Rubin/William Easterling/June Michaels/Elliott Michaels) Slow hard folk-rock in key of D D A G D A G D F#m So you tell me … there's something inside you, Bm It's a feeling you can't share. Em G You say it's growing, keeps you going, A And makes you more aware. F#m Tell me now what's on your mind, Bm And I’ll offer you a hand. C But if you can't put your trust in me, Em A (build) How can I fully understand!? D Won’t you Open Up Your Soul, G D Brothers and sisters, can’t you see? D You gotta Open Up Your Soul, G Em A (build) Sons and daughters, and set it free. D Won’t you Open Up Your Soul, G Bm E7 Friends and neighbors, don’t give up the fight. G A (stop) Open Up Your Soul, the world over, D A G D A G And make it right! D F#m Now you tell me … there’s nothing to hide, Bm But your emotions, nowadays. Em G Well, that just don’t make sense to me, A When you've got so much to say. F#m Something's gotta change along the road, Bm You've gotta give as well as take. C Now it’s time to make your move, Em A (build) Before it gets too late! D Won’t you Open Up Your Soul, G D Brothers and sisters, can’t you see? D You gotta Open Up Your Soul, G Em A (build) Towns and cities, and let it be. D Won’t you Open Up Your Soul, G Bm E7 States and nations, peace is now in sight. G A Open Up Your Soul, the world over, D Bm And make it right! G A (stop) So Open Up Your Soul, across the Universe, D A G D A G And make it riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! D A G D (hold for coda) And make it riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Open Up Your Soul!!!

OPTIONS (Elliott C. Michaels) Moderately slow power-pop in key of D D Bm F#m G It's no secret I've been eyeing your lady for quite some time, A D Bm F#m G But it seems these days she's got nothing but you on her lovin' mind. A Em F#m Well, as long as you're good to her I won't interfere, G G A But if you don't treat her right, let me make myself clear, Bm Em She's got Options ... yes, it's time that you see, Bm Em She's got Options ... I think her best one is me, G F#m She's got Options ... and I'm tellin' you true, Em A Don't ruin the best thing ever happened to you. D She's got a will of her own, Bm F#m G She's strong enough to be flexible and not overbearing. A D She's got the heart of a saint, Bm F#m G For she can handle your worst and still be loving and caring. A Em F#m Yet you keep her at arm's length but cling so tight, G G A Buddy, doin' that to this one just isn't right. Bm Em She's got Options ... yes, it's time you took heed, Bm Em She's got Options ... you'd better follow my lead, G F#m She's got Options ... man, you're losin' your grip, Em A You oughta take my advice or else you're sure gonna slip. F#m Now, I don't have your money or your dashing good looks, Bm And I don't drive a fancy car, F#m But I know how to satisfy a first-class woman, Bm And that's more important by far! F#m I know you and your lady perceive me as crazy, Bm And she barely knows I'm alive. Em But you heard it right here, you'd better treat the girl dearly, G A Or your love ain't gonna survive! Bm Em Bm Em She's got Options! ... Oh, yeah! G F#m Em A D Bm Now, when a girl comes along like the one you're with, F#m G Why would you take her for granted? A D Bm A lady like that could make you happy for life, F#m G How come you don't understand it? A Em F#m I can't stand by idly while you treat her this way, G G A For she deserves so much more and I've got something to say. Bm Em She's got Options ... yes, it's time that you knew, Bm Em She's got Options ... and yours are just about through! G F#m She's got Options ... I'm movin' in for the kill, Em A And I'm gonna prove that I love her for real. Bm Em She's got Options ... and now she's opened her eyes, Bm Em She's got Options ... she's gonna exercise! G F#m She's got Options ... it's time to make up your mind, Em A For she's about to come with me and leave you behind. Bm Em Bm Em She's got Options ... Options ... Options ... hear what I say, Bm Em Bm Em (hold for coda) She's got Options ... Options ... Optio-o-o-o-ons!

ROCK & ROLL STILL MATTERS (June E. Michaels/William A. Easterling/Elliott C. Michaels) Moderate rock & roll (128 beats per minute) A E A E A E I fell in love with rock & roll when I was just a lad, Bm F#m E I still play the first guitar that I ever had. A E Rock & roll and me, you might say we grew up together, Bm F#m E Rock & roll truly saved my soul through all kinds of weather. D A Oh, I believe that rock & roll is the voice of today's human race. D E And rock & roll is more to me than just another pretty face. D A I will always yearn for those old rock radio stations. G Bm E The feeling this music gives me is such an inspiration! F#m E D Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, Bm E That hard-driving rhythm sets my soul flyin' free, F#m E D Music opened my eyes and made me see, Bm E A That Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! G F#m I don't listen when they say, "Oh, rock is just so yesterday! F And power chords are so passe, Esus4 E A E A E And using real instruments just ain't the way to play!" A E The music on the dial today sounds so stale, timid and vile! Bm F#m E The rock & roll of days gone by has it beat by a mile! A E The tunes I cut my teeth on never fail to make me smile. Bm F#m E They take me right back to the days when we were young and wild! D A Oh, I believe that hip-hop and jazz fusion just don't mean a thing. D E Just give me hot sweet rock & roll that I wanna play and sing. D A The other stuff's all well and fine but not for this rockin' man. G Bm E It's time for us rock warriors to make our fearless stand! F#m E D Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, Bm E Those power-driven chords set my soul flyin' free, F#m E D Music opened my eyes and made me see, Bm E A That Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! C#m F#m Rock & Roll Still Matters, from Floyd and Coldplay to the Platters. D When I say I'm gonna rock you, baby, E You know I ain't saying maybe! F#m B7 Don't keep your feelings on the shelf; go ahead and express yourself; D E A E A E 'Cause Rock & Roll Still Matters ... to you! ... and me too! A E Bm F#m E A E Bm F#m E D A Oh, I believe that rock & roll was never part of any sinister plot. D E It's just a way to make people happy right on the spot. D A It gives a sweeter high than I ever felt after smoking pot. G Bm E So let's get up and dance and clap our hands and give it all we've got! F#m E D Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, Bm E The message in the lyrics sets my soul flyin' free, F#m E D Music opened my eyes and made me see, Bm E A That Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! F#m E D Rock & Roll Still Matters to me, Bm E Those fired-up singers set my soul flyin' free, F#m E D Put it all together, it's as great as can be, Bm E A Oh, Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! Bm E A Yeah, Rock & Roll Still Matters to me! Bm E A E A E I said, Rock & Roll Still Matters ... to me! A (hold for coda) ... Oh, yeah!

PARTING SHOT (Elliott C. Michaels) Folk-rock in D (30 measures per minute) D A7 D D G I still remember long ago, when we began this mad affair, D A We thought the world was ours to take, but then, what did we know? D G And now it's time to face the fact that we have nothing left to share, D A7 D It's all over, so just accept it and let it go. D G I gave it everything I had, and perhaps you did the same, D A But now our love has drifted away like a leaf in a river's flow. D G No cause to argue who's at fault, no need to hang your head in shame. D A7 D It's simply over, so don't be bitter, just let it go. Bm F#m They say that if at first you fail, you should try and try some more, G A But when something's wrong it's wrong, and it's not worth fighting for. D G Our love was once a shining ray, but now there's darkness head to toe, D A7 D It's all over, why throw a tantrum? Just let it go. D G D A D G D A7 D Bm F#m They say that everything must change, but you know it's not that way, G A Because when something's wrong it's wrong, and it's best to call it a day. D G Let's forge ahead and not look back, and maybe then we both can grow. D A7 D G It's all over, cut out the swearing, and let it go, oh, yeah. D A7 D D (hold for coda) It's finally over, so stop your crying, and let it go! Let it go!
