[C] [Bm] [E] [Ab] .
The first seminal influence [N] that began to take shape for Petsounds in [E] that year was.
the recording of Sloop John B.
Al Jardine brought over the lyrics and he played me the song and he goes, can you arrange it?.
And I said, sure.
So I arranged it.
It was done in the Kingston Trio.
And we took it and adapted the arrangement.
It began to develop pretty incredible [Ab] dimensions of harmonies and production value that we.
were starting to see from Brian.
