Note: This song is another fine example of Brian Wilson's creative mind.
Here is a rough idea of the bass work. It seems fairly simple, and probabley
should be played on a 5-string bass, but here it is arranged on a 4-string.

VERSE(S)
g-------------------------------------
d-------------------------------------
a-----4-------4-------4-------4-------
e-----------4-------4-------4-------4-
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
"I've been in this.....

g-------------------------------------
d-------------------------------------
a-----4-------4-------4-------4-------
e-----------4-------4-------4-------4-
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
"taken...

g-------------------------------------
d-------------------------------------
a-----6-------6-------6-------6-----6-
e-----------6-------6-------6---------
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
long..." "Fell in-

g-------------------------------------
d-----6-------6-------6-------6-------
a-----------6-------6-------6-------6-
e-------------------------------------
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
love...

g-------------------------------------
d-----6-------6-------6-------6-------
a-----------6-------6-------6---------
e-----------------------------------4-
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Spanish.....

g-------------------------------------
d-------------------------------------
a-----4-------4-------4-------4-------
e-----------4-------4-------4-------4-
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
villains"..

Repeat this pattern again for Verse II: "Once at night...". End the second
last bar simply on "a--4--".

CHORUS:
Note: Allow note to sustain over the whole 4 bars.

a----6-----------------------------------
e----------------------------------------
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
"Heroes and Villains.........done.

a----------------------------------------
e----4-----------------------------------
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
"Doo Do............ ba ba.....

a----6-----------------------------------
e----------------------------------------
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
"Heroes and Villains .........done.

a----------------------------------------
e----4-----------------------------------
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
"Doo Do Do......... ba ba.....

a------------6---------------------------
e----6---------------4-------------------
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Do.............ah.."

VERSE III: Repeat Verse tab for "La La La...la", and "Shall be Peace in the
Valley" section. After this the BASS drops out and there is the vocal
exercise.

BRIDGE I: Doesn't sound like there's any bass, but try this anyhow - I like
it. Tempo slows down, assume to half the speed of Verse.

d--------------3----4----6----4----3-------
a----4----6-----------------------------6--
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
"My Children.....rise................wealthy


d--------------3----4----6----4----3---------
a----4----6-----------------------------6-(hold note)
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Wise.................(tempo starts to slow)

BRIDGE II: "I've been in this town". No Bass.

CHORUS: Repeat Chorus pattern, till fade out.

There you have it! I think it gives a basic idea of the song. Any problems,
comments, corrections or suggestions, don't hesitate to e-mail me at-
