From There To Back Again – The Beach Boys
Nghệ sĩ: The Beach Boys
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
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.
A couple notes: The "/G" and other slash notes apart from a chord represent a changing bass note. They're
not always mandatory, so I don't have them written as chords. If you can read the rest of this chart, I
figure you know how to throw a G bass under an F chord! Also I just want to note that it's a really easy
transition from the Bm7 to the Cmaj9b5 in the bridge. Kinda cool. That's it, enjoy!
