Well, East Coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear

And the Southern girls with the way they talk

They knock me out when I'm down there

The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls

But I couldn't wait to get back in the states,
Back to the cutest girls in the world

"Caroline, No"
                      (Brian Wilson / Tony Asher)

The right-hand harpsichord part is actually quite simple; the tracking
session on the box set (in C; the released version was sped up to Db)
shows it to be:

Em     Esus     Dsus
/   /   /   /     /   /   /   /

... where Em is voiced as B-E-G, Esus as B-E-A, Dsus as A-D-G. Tranpose
accordingly to play along with the sped-up version, and no, don't ask me
how to replicate these voicings on guitar - try Ab6 and Gb6 instead.

Verse 1:

Fm/Ab Fsus/Ab Ebsus/Db
Where did your long hair go
Fm/Ab Fsus/Ab      Ebsus/Db
Where is the girl I used to know
Fm/Ab Fsus/Ab   Abm7    Abm7/Db Gbmaj7/Db
How   could you lose that happy glow
           Ebsus/Gb
Oh Caroline, No

Verse 2:

Who took that look away
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh Caroline, you

Bridge:

         Ebm7 Ab7       Dbmaj7
Break my heart, I want to go and cry
       Cm7-5   Gbdim    Bbm
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
           Ebm7-5/A
Oh Caroline, why

Verse 3:

Could I ever find in you again
Things that made me love you so much then
Could we ever bring them back once they had gone *
Oh Caroline, no

[repeat verse chords to fade]

* verse 3 holds the Gbmaj7/Db one extra measure

Verse 1:

          Eb
Well, she got her daddy's car
                                       Ab
And she cruised through the hamburger stand, now
             Eb
Seems she forgot all about the library
                      Bb [2, 3: harmonies imply Bb7]
Like she told her old man, now
              Eb
And with the radio blastin' goes
                             Ab
Cruisin' just as fast as she can, now

Chorus 1:

                Eb        Gm
And she'll have fun, fun, fun
         Ab              Bb
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
Eb        Ab            Gm       [1, 3: Bb 2, 4: F]
(Fun, fun, fun, 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)

Verse 2:

Well, the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks, looks, and drives like an ace, now
(You walk like an ace, now, you walk like an ace)
She makes the Indy 500 look like
The Roman chariot race, now
(You look like an ace, now, you look like an ace)
A lot of guys try to catch her
But she leads 'em on a wild goose chase, now
(You drive like an ace, now, you drive like an ace)

Verse 3:

Well, you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you, now
(You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You been thinkin' that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we got a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)

Chorus 2 [2X]:

And we'll have fun, fun, fun
Now that Daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun, fun, fun, now that Daddy took the T-bird away)

Fun, fun, now that Daddy took the T-bird away
