Title: Surf's Up 1967 - The Right Chords?
Post by: hypehat on November 17, 2011, 04:41:31 PM
Been mucking about on a piano last couple of days, and figured it out. Although I'm not sure whether it's right...

Verse

F#m7/C# - E/F#

Columnated....

C#m/A - /F# - E/B - B -C#/B

Canvas The Town...

F#/C# - G#/Eb - C#/F

Brother John (Although he doesn't play that part on the demo, the '66 version transposed is...)

C# - F#/Eb - F#m/E - C#/F

Dovenested Towers

Ebm7/F# - C#/G#

Eb/C - G#/Bb - Bb - Eb

The dim last toasting

....G#/Bb - G#m/Bb (Not sure about this one, but there's that sort of shift there) - Fdim/D - Eb

Surf's Up, mmmm...

Ebm7/F# - C#/G#
(Keychange up to the regular key!)
Fm7/G# - Eb/Bb

And then as in the usual key, right?

Sure about G#m/B on the 'The glass was raised...' bit? That's really bothering me.
