Song

This is my version of Big Sur from the Thrills album "So much for the city"

I've stolen a couple of bits from the previous version and obviously added

in a few guitar bits too. The picking pattern from the intro is pretty much

maintained during most of the verses but usually with an open top string, play

around and see what you like the sound of. I don't think the opening Dsus2 is

strictly right but its the best I could figure out in the 15 mins I've spent on

this.

Verse 1

So much for the city, tell me that you'll dance to the end

F [Fill 2]

Just tell me that you'll dance to the end

Hey hey you're the monkees, people said you monkeyed around,

F [Fill 2]

But nobody's listening now.

Chorus

Just don't go back to big sur, hanging around letting your old man down

Just don't go back to big sur, baby baby please don't go

G [Fill 1]

Baby please don't go.

Verse 2

So much for the street lights, they're never gonna guide you home

F [Fill 2]

No thet're never gonna guide you home

Down at the steam boat show, all the kids start spittin'

F [Fill 2]

I guess it didn't live up to the billing.

Chorus

Just don't go back to big sur, hanging around, letting your old man down

Just don't go back to big sur, baby baby please don't go

Baby baby please don't go.
