C7 |   | Ab7 Bb | F/C C | 
C7 |   | Ab7 Bb | F/C C | 
Dm6 C/E | G7 | Dm6 C/E | G7

VERSE 
C7M                         Gm/C           F/C C 
We heard Richard Nixon say, welcome to the U-S-A 
    G/B            Am7 
The common sense I sometimes lack 
    Dm7         G7 
Has opened up a seismic crack 
      C/E             F          G 
We've fallen in and I can't pull back 
      Ab          Bb         C7M 
And I guess we'll have to stay 
   C7M

VERSE C7M Gm/C F/C C Neither of us understood the way things ticked in Hollywood G/B Am7 We just loaded in and grabbed the bat Dm7 G7 With little room to swing a cat C/E F G And pretty soon we were where it's at Ab Bb C7M Or so the papers say C7M Gm/C F/C C And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we'd never seen G/B Am7 Our heroes led us by the hand Dm7 G7 Through Brian Wilson's promised land C/E F G Where Disney's God and he commands Ab Bb C7M Both mice and men to stay
