 Brian Wilson (CAPO ON 3RD FRET)
 G     D               Am7                     G
 Drove downtown in the rain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night
         D                        Bm7    Am7
 Just to check out the late night record shop
 G         D                   Am7
 Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
 G               D                    Bm7  Am7
 But when I'm surrounded I just can't stah-op
 
 (This progression continues throughout the slow intro)
 
 It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning, a matter of fact
 You can call me Pavlov's dog
 Ring a bell and I'll salivate, well how'd you like that 
 Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue, 'cause right now I'm
 
 CHORUS:
 
 G        D             Am7           
 Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
          G         D                   Em         Em/C     Em/C#    Em/C
 Well I'm, lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
 
 (Progression for the verse is the same as intro. Just listen to the song 
 to get the proper rythym and tempo)
 Well I'm lying here, just staring at the ceiling tiles
 And I'm thinking about, whoa what to think about
 Just listening and relistening to smiley smile
 And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative doubt, because I'm
 
 CHORUS
 
 Am7              D               F            Em
 And if you wanna find me I'll be   out in the sandbox
 Am7            D                      G        F      Am7
 Just wondering where the hell all the love has gah-ah-ahn
               D                F              Em             Am7
 Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun, whoa-whoa-oh-oh
     D                 G
 And singing fun, fun, fun
 
 CHORUS
 
 Am    E7    Am               E7            Am
     I had a dream that I was three hundred pounds
     E7                Am      E7                              Am
 And though I was very heavy I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
 
 (Pick up the rythym at this point)
   E7             Am               E7
 I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
 Am                E7
 Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)
 Am                E7
 Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)
 Am                E7
 Somebody help meeeeee, because I'm
 
 CHORUS
 
 (With lots of angst, repeat intro)
 G     D                      Am7                    G
 Drove downtown in the ray-ee-ain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night
         D                        Bm7    Am7                     G
 Just to check out the late night record shop (late night record shop)
           D                   Am7
 Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, or call it insane (whoa-oh)
 G                  D                    Bm7        Cmaj7
 'Cause when I'm surrounded I just can't stah-ah-ah-p
 
 The outro is a Secret Agent Man sort of thingy based in Em that goes as 
 follows:
 Em  Em/C  Em/C#   Em/C  
 
 Do this a few times, then just go wild on the Em.
 If you've got a bongo playing comrade, this can really sound great.
