"Wild Honey"
(Brian Wilson / Mike Love)
Intro:
/ / / / / / / /
g........G <- theremin glissando
(Sweet sweet a honey bee eat eat a bit of honey)
Verse 1:
Mama, I'm tellin' you as sure as I'm standin' here 
She's my girl and that's the way I'm keepin' it, my mama dear 
No good would it do you to stand there and frown at me
The girl's got my heart and my love's comin' down on me
My life's kinda mellow since I got a taste of wild honey
Verse 2:
(G) C/G G C/G
You know she's got the sweetness of a honey bee
Wild honey, she got it hard and stung me good, yessirree 
With all the other stud bees buzzin' all around her hive
She singled me out, single-handed took me alive
Can you dig it gonna take my life eatin' up her wild honey 
(Repeat intro)
Organ Solo:

Bridge:
Oh, mama she's sweeter (gettin' sweeter)
Sweeter (gettin' sweeter)
Sweeter, sweeter, ah...
Verse 3:
Wild honey, oh let me tell you how she really got to my soul 
It ain't funny the way she makes me want to sing a little rock 'n roll 
There's nothing quite as sweet as a taste of wild honey
I break my back workin' just to save me some money
So I can spend my life with her... sock it to me, wild honey 
Coda:
(Repeat intro to fade)
