---------------------------------------------------------------------------- BRIAN WILSON - Surf's Up ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dabarro Email: dbguitar9@yahoo.es Tuning: Standard Surprised by the fact that there's no tab for this beautiful song in the site I put myself to work on it. I use a MIDI file I found around to figure out the notes, since I can't read sheet music. Bare in mind that this song is played on piano and many of the chords are not "guitar-friendly" ones. Bb/G A diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along, oh Dm/F To a handsome man and baton Bb/G A blind class aristocracy Back through the opera glass you see Dm/F The pit and the pendulum drawn Bb Bb/G F C D Columnated ruins do mi no G A Canvass the town and brush the backdrop D/A Are you sleeping? Bb/G Hung velvet overtaken me Dim chandelier awaken me Dm/F To a song dissolved in the dawn Bb/G The music hall a costly bow The music all is lost for now Dm To a muted trumperter swan Bb Bb/G F C D Columnated ruins do mi no G A Canvass the town and brush the backdrop D/A D [* read note at end] Are you sleeping, Brother John? Ab6 Dove nested towers the hour was Cm/Bb Strike the street quicksilver moon Ab6 Carriage across the fog Cm/Bb Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune Dm7 Gm7 C F The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne Dm7 The glass was raised, the fired rose Gm7 C F9add F The fullness of the wine, the dim last toast- ing Dm7 Gm7 C F While at port adieu or die Dm7 A choke of grief heart hardened I Gm7 C F Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry Ab6 Surf's Up Cm/Bb Aboard a tidal wave Ab6 Come about hard and join Cm/Bb The young and often spring you gave Fm/C I heard the word Cm Wonderful thing Fm7 Cm Bb Cm A children's song Fm Cm A children's song Bb Cm Have you listened as they played Fm Cm Their song is love Bb Cm And the children know the way Fm Cm A children's song Bb Cm Have you listened as they played Fm Cm Their song is love Bb Cm And the children know the way Fm A Child. *** NOTE: In that part, at the end of 'brother John' there's a descending arrangement over the D chord that goes A G F# (those are notes, not chords). It can be played with an inversion of D, like this one: xx0235, a Dsus4 and a regular D. That way you have the descending bit on your high e string. So, that's it, enjoy!
