Good Vibrations
(1966) / Smiley Smile (1966)

E♭m                     D♭
Ah, I love the colorful clothes she wears
        C♭6                             B♭
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
E♭m                       D♭
Ah, I hear the sound of a gentle word
       C♭6                                     B♭   D♭7
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

  G♭
  I'm pickin' up good vibrations                 w/ thérémine & g♭ (P.M.)
  She's givin' me the excitations                   P.M. = violoncelle

  Répéter  w/ (Ooh, bop bop, good vibrations)
              (Bop bop, excitations)

  Répéter  en A♭  w/ (Good, good, good, good vibrations)

  Répéter  en B♭  w/ fin: (Exci-)

I close my eyes, she's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

  Refrain

I don't know where, but she sends me there
