“Cuckoo Clock”

(Brian Wilson/Gary Usher)

(Verse)

F# D#m G#m C#

We knew it must have been late, we had no time to wait. I went to light the fireplace, I planned it all this way, and

(Tick-Tock) (Tick-Tock) (Tick-Tock)

F# D#m G#m C#

I snuggled close to her, her heart began to purr. I held my breath inside, and then I put my arms around her

(Tick-Tock) (Tick-Tock) (Tick-Tock)

(Chorus)

B F# B C#

Cuckoo,cuckoo(go away silly bird).Cuckoo,cuckoo(go away silly bird).Cuckoo,cuckoo(go away silly bird) Cuckoo,cuckoo

(Verse2) (same chords as first verse,and tick tocks are the same)

I put that birdie away, his cuckoo was gone to stay. We both apologized so I, forgave that doggone cuckoo.

I went back to her side, I had to swallow my pride. The fire had almost died away, we just got situated.

(Chorus)

(Organ Solo over verse form)

(Verse3) (same chords except 8 bars instead of 16 like the rest)

I took that clock apart, I broke the cuckoo’s heart. He’ll never bother us again, we just forgot about him.

(Chorus to fade)

This song was said to been about Murry’s pet Mynah bird? J
