Wonderful

"Wonderful" [SMILE version]

(Brian Wilson / Van Dyke Parks)

Verse 1:

C# [L.H: B A# G#] B/F# G#m7

She be---longs there left with her liberty

Fm7-5 C#m6 F#m7 B7sus4 B7

Never known as a non-believer

She laughs and stays in the Won- won-won-wonderful

[L.H: E F# G# A# B]

Verse 2:

C# [L.H: B A# G#] B/F# G#m7

She knew how to gather the forest when

Fm7-5 C#m6 F#m7 B7sus4 B7

God reached softly and moved her body

E/G# Fm7-5 B/F# F#/A#

One golden locket, quite young and loving

Her mother and father

Verse 3:

Farther down the path was a mystery

Through the recess, the chalk and numbers

A boy bumped into her wonderful

Verse 4:

All fall down and lost in her mystery

Lost it all to a non-believer

And all that's left is a girl who's loved by

Her mother and father

Verse 5:

She'll return in love with her liberty

Just away from the non-believer

She'll sigh and thank God for wonderful

N.B.: I suspect that this is actually played in D on a harpsichord tuned

down a semi-tone (i.e., A=415):

D [D C B A] C/G Am7

/ / / / / / / /

F#m7-5 Dm6 Gm7 C7sus4 C7

/ / / / / / / /

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / /

[L.H: F G A B C]

D [D C B A] C/G Am7

/ / / / / / / /

F#m7-5 Dm6 Gm7 C7sus4 C7

/ / / / / / / /

F/A F#m7-5 C/G G/B

/ / / / / / / /

/ / / / / / / /

...but to further confound the issue, it's in C on the "I Just Wasn't

Made For These Times" soundtrack:

C [C Bb A G] Bb/F Gm7

/ / / / / / / /

Em7-5 Cm6 Fm7 Bb7sus4 Bb7

/ / / / / / / /

[L.H: Eb F G A Bb]

C [C Bb A G] Bb/F Gm7

Eb/G Em7-5 Bb/F F/A
