Beach Boys

Beach Boys - Caroline No guitar tab

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
