Biography:
The Grass Roots aka simply Grass Roots, were a hugely successful pop rock group that despite charting 29 Top 100 singles from 1967 to 1972 and being on the Billboard charts an astounding 307 straight weeks during that time, never quite had a number 1 single. Their music, largely a product of top production and songwriting talents of the era, remains a staple of 60's & 70's oldies radio stations, and many movie soundtracks.

"Is It Any Wonder"
(P. F. Sloan - Steve Barri)

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
Asus2 E
You see things in me
D6/9 Asus2/E
That nobody else could see
D Bm D E A [N.C.]
Or had looked quite deep enough to find
bass:
v v v v
-------14--12---11-------
----11---------------14--
-12----------------------
-------------------------
Asus2 E
You passed over all my faults
D6/9 Asus2/E
And still came through it all
D Bm D E A
When no-one else would have taken the time
D D+/Bb D6/B D7/C
And without as much as a word or a touch
G Bm/F# Em E
You had me wanting you
Chorus:
A D E
Is it any wonder
A D E
Is it any wonder
F#m C#m
Is it any wonder
Bm
I love you like I do
A
Is it any wonder
1,3,4:

/ / / / / / / /
(wonder...)
2:
(A)
/ / / / / / / /
(wonder)
Verse 2:
In a world of fakery
Your touch of sincerity
I have come to depend upon
Seems you know just what to say
When the mood I'm in is gray
And your smile works like a magic wand
And on top of this, how could anyone resist
Wanting to be a part of you
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
G A
I know I've never loved anyone like this before
G F#m
And baby, what I'm feelin', I can't be concealing
Em E
Any more (anymore) No more (anymore) No more
[repeat chorus 2X; fade 2nd time]
