                      "Wonderful" [SMILE version]
                    (Brian Wilson / Van d**e Parks)

Verse 1:

C# [L.H: B   A#   G#]  B/F#          G#m7
She   be---longs there left with her liberty
Fm7-5 C#m6      F#m7  B7sus4 B7
Never known as a non-believer
    G#m7        C#m7        G#/D# C#/F    G#/D#    C#/F G#/D#
She laughs and stays in the Won-  won-won-wonderful

[L.H: E F# G# A# B]

Verse 2:

C# [L.H: B   A#   G#]  B/F#      G#m7
She knew     how  to gather the forest when
Fm7-5       C#m6       F#m7    B7sus4 B7
God reached softly and moved her body
   E/G#    Fm7-5         B/F#      F#/A#
One golden locket, quite young and loving
   E/B C#m    E/B C#m
Her mother and father

Verse 3:

Farther down the path was a mystery
Through the recess, the chalk and numbers
A boy bumped into her wonderful

Verse 4:

All fall down and lost in her mystery
Lost it all to a non-believer
And all that's left is a girl who's loved by
Her mother and father

Verse 5:

She'll return in love with her liberty
Just away from the non-believer
She'll sigh and thank God for wonderful 


N.B.: I suspect that this is actually played in D on a harpsichord tuned
      down a semi-tone (i.e., A=415):


D  [D C B   A]  C/G   Am7
/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /
F#m7-5 Dm6   Gm7  C7sus4 C7
 /  /  /  /   /  /  /    / 
Am7   Dm7    A/E   D/F#   A/E   D/F#   A/E
 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /

[L.H: F G A B C]

D  [D C B   A]  C/G   Am7
/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /
F#m7-5 Dm6   Gm7  C7sus4 C7
 /  /  /  /   /  /  /    / 
F/A  F#m7-5  C/G   G/B
 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  / 
F/C    Dm    F/C    Dm
 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

...but to further confound the issue, it's in C on the "I Just Wasn't
Made For These Times" soundtrack:


C  [C Bb A  G] Bb/F   Gm7
/   /   /   /    /  /  /  /
Em7-5 Cm6   Fm7  Bb7sus4 Bb7
 /  /  /  /   /  /  /    / 
Gm7   Cm7    G/D   C/E    G/D   C/E    G/D
 /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /

[L.H: Eb F G A Bb]
