Chords

"He Come Down" (Jardine/Wilson/Love) From "Carl & The Passions - So Tough"(1972) The pitch on the original LP is "in the cracks" between B and Bb like MARCELLA. New remixes of both songs restore their original speed/pitch, suggesting both were recorded in B (as was clear for MARCELLA from live versions, e.g.IN CONCERT). The lyrics are beyond ridiculous, but chorus is infectious, and the vocal arrangement is pure Brian. ------------------------------------------------- [intro] B G#m C#m F#7 B G#m C#m E B [verse]
