"Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again"

Dennis Wilson

I transcribed this and posted it on the Smiley Smile board awhile ago. Got feedback from Adam Marsland and made the 
necessary corrections. I think it's fairly accurate now. The first one is in the same key as on the Long Promised Road CD 
while the other is in the alleged original key (Adam wrote that they transposed it one whole tone up). Feel free to post 
the version you think is most relevant, I can't make up my mind myself :)

“Wouldn’t It Be Nice To Live Again”

(Dennis Wilson, Stanley Shapiro)

As performed by Adam Marsland's Chaos Band

 

 

Fm7                     Eb

Wouldn’t it be nice to live again

Fm7                    Eb

High on a hill making love again

 

Eb                           Ab/Eb

Whoever said that love could die

Fm7                          Eb

Whoever said the very first lie

Eb               Ab/Eb

Whoever said goodbye

          Fm7            Fm7/Bb     Eb

Tell me, whoever said a girl can’t cry

  Bb/D       Cm7 Cm7/Bb           Eb/F

I know I can cry        and we’ll live our lives alone

      Ab           Fm7/Bb        

And I know it’s alright, it’s alright

 

Fm7                         Eb

I’ll show you a place that can’t be seen

Fm7                        Eb

High above the clouds just you and me

 

Eb                      Ab/Eb

I know we can live with love

Fm7                             Eb

Simple living life just you and me

Eb            Ab/Eb

Whoever said goodbye

           Fm7          Fm7/Bb         Eb

Tell me, whoever said a man shouldn’t cry

  Bb/D         Cm7  Cm7/Bb            Eb/F

I know you can cry          and we’ll live our lives alone

       Ab          Fm7/Bb

And I know it’s alright, honey it’s alright

 

Fm7/Bb

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do you think we can live again (repeat)
