*from 'Pet Sounds' (1966)*

(modified from Andrew Roger's original tab)


*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: Bb)


Intro:

G  D7 (x2)

Verse 1:

       G
I know so many people,
    D7                     G
Who think they can do it a-lone.
     G
They isolate their heads,
    D7                   G
And stay in their safety zones.

Bridge 1:

Bb                F7
 Now what can you tell them?
Bb                F
 And what can you say,
           Em   Dm      C
That won't make them de-fensive?

Chorus 1:

G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G               Em
 I know now but I have to,
        Am7        D7
Find it by myself.

Verse 2:

          G
They come on like they're peaceful,
    D7                   G
But inside they're so up-tight.
     G
They trip through their day,
    D7                          G
And waste all their thoughts at night.

Bridge 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beach_boys/i_know_theres_an_answer_crd_ver_2.html ]
Bb             F7
 Now how can I come on,
Bb
 And tell them,
    F             Em   Dm       C
The way that they live could be better?

Chorus 2:

G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G               Em
 I know now but I have to,
        Am7        D7
Find it by myself.

Bridge 3:

Bb             F7
 Now how can I come on,
Bb
 And tell them,
    F             Em   Dm       C
The way that they live could be better?

Chorus 3:

G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G               Em
 I know now but I have to,
        Am7        D7
Find it by myself.
