Ebm C#
I hear the sound of a gentle word
B A# C#
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
[Chorus]
*This is what the bass plays on the recording, but in the Ed Sullivan Performance,
Carl Wilson just plays the F#, G#, and A# note on the lowest string pretty fast like the cello in the
recording. Idk how many times he picks the notes so that’s why I put the bass riff instead.
Hopefully that an good explanation lol*
