This version supersedes my previous submission to OLGA.

                             "Caroline, No"

                      (Brian Wilson / Tony Asher)

The right-hand harpsichord part is actually quite simple; the tracking

session on the box set (in C; the released version was sped up to Db)

shows it to be:

Em     Esus     Dsus

/   /   /   /     /   /   /   /

... where Em is voiced as B-E-G,  Esus as B-E-A,  Dsus as A-D-G.  Tranpose

accordingly to play along with the sped-up version, and no, don't ask me

how to replicate these voicings on guitar - try Ab6 and Gb6 instead.

Verse 1:

Fm/Ab Fsus/Ab  Ebsus/Db

Where  did your long hair go

Fm/Ab Fsus/Ab      Ebsus/Db

Where  is the girl I used to know

Fm/Ab Fsus/Ab   Abm7    Abm7/Db Gbmaj7/Db

How   could you lose that happy glow

           Ebsus/Gb

Oh Caroline, No

Verse 2:

Who took that look away

I remember how you used to say

You'd never change, but that's not true

Oh Caroline, you

Bridge:

         Ebm7  Ab7       Dbmaj7

Break my heart, I want to go and cry

       Cm7-5   Gbdim    Bbm

It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die

           Ebm7-5/A

Oh Caroline, why

Verse 3:

Could I ever find in you again

Things that made me love you so much then

Could we ever bring them back once they had gone *

Oh Caroline, no

[repeat verse chords to fade]

* verse 3 holds the Gbmaj7/Db one extra measure

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
