Opening track on their album, 'Pet Sounds.'

(Capo 5th fret.)
#1.
G9 C
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older,
F6 Am7 Dm
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long.
G9 C
And wouldn't it be nice to live together,
F6 Am7 Dm G9
In the kind of world where we be..long.
Am7 C11
You know it's gonna make it that much better,
Am Em Dm7
When we can say goodnight and stay together.
G9 C
Wouldn't it be nice?
#2.
G9 C
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up,
F6 Am7 Dm
In the morning when the day is new.
G9 C
And after that to spend the day together,
F6 Am7 Dm G9
Hold each other close the whole night through.
Am7 C11
The happy times together we'd been spending,
Am Em Dm7
I wish that every kiss was never ending.
G9 G11 C
Oh, wouldn't it be nice...
CHORUS:
A D
Well, maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
C#m F#m7
it might come true.
A D C#m F#m7
Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do.
C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 G9
We could be mar..ried........and then we'd be hap..py.
G9 G11 C
Oh, wouldn't it be nice...
#3.
You know it seems the more we talk about it,
It only makes it worse to live without it.
But let's talk about it.... Wouldn't it be nice?
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
