Caroline No Tabs

(ver. 1)
Beach Boys
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
