En 1961 los hermanos Brian, Carl y Dennis Wilson junto a Mike Love y Al Jardine forman The Beach Boys. La banda desarrolló un pop melódico que reune los elementos de una estética surfista californiana, desarrollando un sonido basado en armonías vocales en las que participan todos los integrantes. A partir de "God Only Knows" (Pet Sounds, 1966) la banda incluye arreglos con instrumentos que hasta entonces no figuraban en la escena popular, como el corno francés.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Verse:
-Eb- F Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
BbGm7 Then we wouldn't have to wait so long.
C7F And wouldn't it be nice to live together,
BbGm7C7 In the kind of world where we be-long?
Bridge:
Dm7Cm7 You know it's gonna make it that much better,
Dm7Am7Gm7C7 When we can say goodnight and stay...to-gether.
Verse:
F Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up,
BbGm7 In the morning, when the day is new?
C7F And after having spent the day together;
BbGm7C7 Hold each other close, the whole night through.
Bridge:
Dm7Cm7 What happy times together we'd be spending,
Dm7Am7Gm7C7 I wish that every kiss was ne...ver ending.
F Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Dmaj7Gmaj7 Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray,
Gbm7Bm7 It might come true?
Dmaj7Gmaj7 Maybe then there wouldn't be,
Gbm7Bm7 A single thing we couldn't do?
Gbm7Bm7 We could be married, -we could be married-,
Gbm7C7 And then we'd be happy, -then we'd be happy-.
F Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Interlude:
Bridge:
Dm7Cm7 You know it seems the more we talk about it,
Dm7Am7Gm7 It only makes it worse to live... with-out it,
Am7Gm7C7 But lets talk... a-bout it.
F Wouldn't it be nice?
Outro -repeat-: F -Ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba-,

Good night, baby, sleep tight, baby.
Good night, baby, sleep tight, baby.
