Yes, it is deceptively simple. I had a hard time hearing it, but the changes are on straight four-counts. We recently pulled this song back out. Em, C, G, C, B, B7, Em —The Mystery Men? |

Richard, I believe at the turnaround it's E major for 2 bars than back down to E minor when the 2nd line of melody starts. —Danny Snyder I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

if you watch some outerwave's versions of Quiet Surf on youtube, you can see the rhythm guitarist hands on his guitar. |

FWIW, I am so enamoured of this tune that I quickly did the chord tab for that Outer Wave version AFAICT (corrections welcomed) Intro Then guitar comes in with 2nd and 3rd harmonics on open strings V1 V2 (octave higher) Bridge V3 (muted) Outro This is based on the way I heard that recording, and I guess I could change the bits that I call Verse and bridge a bit, but then again, you could rearrange the tune several ways and it would still sound cool —He who dies with the most tubes... wins Last edited: Oct 02, 2012 12:56:03 |

What a GREAT song.......I've worked on this one for a while now but it's hard to get the middle part without hearing the rhythm with it so...is there a backing track anywhere? —The TakeOffs |
