                         BRIAN WILSON - Surf's Up
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Dabarro
Email: dbguitar9@yahoo.es

Tuning: Standard

   Surprised by the fact that there's no tab for this beautiful song in the
site I put myself to work on it. I use a MIDI file I found around to figure
out the notes,  since I can't read sheet music. Bare in mind that this song
is played on piano and many of the chords are not "guitar-friendly" ones. 


Bb/G
A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
Dm/F
To a handsome man and baton
Bb/G
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
Dm/F
The pit and the pendulum drawn

Bb (x1333x@1)    Bb/G (20222x@1)       F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1)  Columnated ruins  do  mi  no
 G (320003@1)                              A (x02220@1)  Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
         D/AAre (x00232@1)you sleeping?


Bb/G
Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
Dm/F
To a song dissolved in the dawn
Bb/G
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
DmTo (xx0231@1)a muted trumperter swan

Bb (x1333x@1)    Bb/G (20222x@1)       F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1)  Columnated ruins  do  mi  no
 G (320003@1)                              A (x02220@1)  Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
        D/A (x00232@1)             D[* (xx0232@1)read note at end]
Are you sleeping, Brother John?

The glass was raised, the fired rose

Dm7           Gm7   C (x32010@1)FWhile (133211@1)at port adieu or die

  ***  NOTE: In that part, at the end of 'brother John' there's a descending
arrangement over the D chord that goes A G F# (those are notes, not chords).
It can be played with an inversion of D,  like this one: xx0235, a Dsus4 and
a regular D. That way you have the descending bit on your high e string.
So, that's it, enjoy!
