Busy Doin' Nothin' (Brian Wilson)
Capo on 1
[Verse 1]
C9 Bm7 Bb9
I had to fix a lot of things this morning, 'cause they were so scrambled
Am7 Ab7-5 Gmaj7 Am7 Bm7
But now it's okay, I tell you I've got enough to do
C9
The afternoon was filled up with phone calls
Bm7 Bb9 Am7 Ab7-5 Gmaj7 Ab7-5
What a hot sticky day, yeah yeah yeah, the air is cooling down
[Chorus 1]
Gmaj7 Am7
Take all the time you need it's a lovely night
Gmaj7 Am7
If you decide to come, you're gonna do it right
Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Am7/D
Drive for a couple miles, you'll see a sign and turn left for a couple blocks, next is mine,
Gmaj7 Am7
You'll turn left on a little road, it's a bumpy one
Gmaj7 Am7 Bm7
You'll see a white fence, move the gate and drive through on the left side
Bbm7 Am7
Come right in and you'll find me in my house somewhere
Am7/D Gmaj7 F C Gmaj7 Am7 Bm7
Keeping busy while I wait
[Verse 2]
C9 Bm7 Bb9
I get a lot of thoughts in the morning, I write 'em all down
Am7 Ab7-5 Gmaj7 Am7 Bm7
If it wasn't for that, I'd forget 'em in a while
C9
And lately I've been thinking bout a good friend
Bm7 Bb9 Am7 Ab7-5 Gmaj7 Ab7-5
I'd like to see more of, yeah yeah yeah, I think I'll make a call
[Chorus 2]
Gmaj7 Am7
I wrote her number down, but I lost it so I
Gmaj7 Am7
Searched through my pocket book, I couldn't find it so
Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 Am7/D
I sat and concentrated on the number and slowly it came to me, so I dialled it
Gmaj7 Am7
And I let it ring a few times, there was no answer so
Gmaj7 Am7 Bm7
I let it ring a little more, still no answer so I hung up the telephone got some paper
Bbm7 Am7 Am7/D Gmaj7
And sharpened up a pencil and wrote a letter to my friend
