From There To Back Again
The Beach Boys
Alright here’s a tough one. Part two in the That’s Why God Made the Radio end suite series. This song is definitely meant for piano so the guitar chords will require some work. It’s in C# so to make it easier on everyone I’ve written it with capo 1. If you’re playing it on piano which I HIGHLY recommend you do just transpose. This is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs period. It’s beautiful and sad and has Al Jardine on vocals which is never a bad thing. Sorry I know this isn’t about the transcription but I love this song. The song structure is not too obvious on this one either so bear with me. The word "verse" is used very loosely. I had a LOT of help on this one from bossaroo’s transcription on the smileysmile.net boards. Thanks a ton for that. not always mandatory so I don’t have them written as chords. If you can read the rest of this chart I transition from the Bm7 to the Cmaj9(b5) in the bridge. Kinda cool. That’s it enjoy! Capo 1 Verse 1: Why don’t you run away and spend some time with me? On this summer’s day there’s nowhere else I’d rather be Why don’t we feel the way we used to anymore? There’s a place along the way that maybe we could stay Listen to the waves at my front door Verse 2: You’ve been thinkin’ ’bout some things we used to do Thinkin’ ’bout when life was still in front of you Back where you belong our favorite song Won’t you listen? Ahhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhh Don’t you understand the words are singing in the wind I wish that we could get from there to back again Verse 3: The clouds are parting it’s a beautiful day For a wonderful Pacific Coast getaway The sun is shining could we just find a way If you just fall just fall just fall To the... Break: Ground Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Bridge: Through our compromise paradise is just another place upon the wall Bm7 Cmaj9(b5) Through the common sense of it all We had a lot to live we gave it all Bm7 Cmaj9(b5) Through the consequence of the wine Another place in time Verse 4: Ba da da ba da ba ba da da da Ba ba ba ba ba da da da Ba da da da da da da da Outro: (Whistling) (Whistling) Chords: Verse Cmaj9 X35430 Fmaj7/C X33210 Am7 X02010 Fmaj7 133210 G 320003 G9 3X0201 F 133211 Dm9 X5355X F/G 3X3211 Em7 022030 G7 320001 Bridge Bm7 X24232 D XX0232 Cadd9 X32030 Cmaj9(b5) X34430 D9 X5455X Previous song: Strange World http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/beach_boys/strange_world_crd_1743757id_10062015date.htm Next song: Pacific Coast Highway http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/beach_boys/pacific_coast_highway_ver2_crd_1744188id_12062015date.htm
