Chords

Not many of the songs from the Beach Boys' 2012 album That's Why God Made the Radio are on the internet. This is the first part of a beautiful suite that comes at the end of the album and that I think is criminally underrated. The intro to this song is actually in a different key from the rest of the song. It starts in Bb and modulates up to C. But then the rest of the song is in C and is really very simple. Again, this song is on piano, so the guitar shapes for the intro won't be very convenient. But I'm sure many of you know your barre chords! Intro: Bb F Eb F X2 Bb F Eb Eb F Verse 1:

C         G      F    G
 On Santa Monica City Pier

C             G          F      G
 We watch the people who gather here

C        G            F
 The uninvited who've lost their way

It's a strange world after all

Verse 2:

(C)        G        F        G
  In multi-colorful lives we run

C           G              F       G
 To catch a glimpse of the setting sun

C         G          F          
 I can't imagine how life would be

   F                      G
If you were not here with me

You can drive your car to the county fair

 Or ride your bicycle anywhere

Cause we're pretty good company
