Beach Boys - Wonderful guitar tab

"Wonderful" [SMILE version]

(Brian Wilson / Van Dyke Parks)

Verse 1:

C# [L.H: B A# G#] B/F# G#m7

She be---longs there left with her liberty

Fm7-5 C#m6 F#m7 B7sus4 B7

Never known as a non-believer

G#m7 C#m7 G#/D# C#/F G#/D# C#/F G#/D#

She laughs and stays in the Won- won-won-wonderful

[L.H: E F# G# A# B]

Verse 2:

C# [L.H: B A# G#] B/F# G#m7

She knew how to gather the forest when

Fm7-5 C#m6 F#m7 B7sus4 B7

God reached softly and moved her body

E/G# Fm7-5 B/F# F#/A#

One golden locket, quite young and loving

E/B C#m E/B C#m

Her mother and father

Verse 3:

Farther down the path was a mystery

Through the recess, the chalk and numbers

A boy bumped into her wonderful

Verse 4:

All fall down and lost in her mystery

Lost it all to a non-believer

And all that's left is a girl who's loved by

Her mother and father

Verse 5:

She'll return in love with her liberty

Just away from the non-believer

She'll sigh and thank God for wonderful

N.B.: I suspect that this is actually played in D on a harpsichord tuned

down a semi-tone (i.e., A=415):

...but to further confound the issue, it's in C on the "I Just Wasn't

Made For These Times" soundtrack:
