Surf's Up
Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks
Gm7/D
A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
Dm7/G
To a handsome man and baton
Gm7/D
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
Dm7/G
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Bb.....Gm7.......F/C.C7.D/C
Columnated ruins domino
G/D................................A9/G
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
............D/A
Are you sleeping?
Gm7/D
Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
Dm7/G
To a song dissolved in the dawn
Gm7/D
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
Dm7/G
To a muted trumperter swan
Bb.....Gm7.......F/C.C7.D/C
Columnated ruins domino
G/D................................A9/G
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
............D/A..............D.Em7.Gm7/F.D/F#
Are you sleeping, Brother John?
Fm7/Ab
Dove nested towers the hour was
Cm7/Bb
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Fm7/Ab
Carriage across the fog
Cm7/Bb
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
......Dm7................Gm7/C..C7..F
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
......Dm7
The glass was raised, the fired rose
.......Gm7/C..........C7.................Edim.F
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
Dm7..............Gm7/C..C7..F
While at port adieu or die
....Dm7
A choke of grief hard hardened I
..Gm7/C............C7............Edim....F
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry
Fm7/Ab.......Cm7/Bb
Surf's Up mmmmmmmm
Aboard a tidal wave
Fm7/Ab
Come about hard and join
......Cm7/Bb
The young and often spring you gave
....Dbmaj9
I heard the word
...Cm7
Wonderful thing
.....Fm7........Cm7...Bb...Cm7
A children's song
Fm7/Ab...Cm7...Bb...Cm...(repeat)
Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
Child, child, child, child, child
Na na na na na na na na
Child, child, child, child, child
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
