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.
.
.
We come on to Sloop John B.
My grandfather and me.
Around Nassau town we [Eb] did a roll.
.
Drinking [Ab] all night, got into [Db] a fight.
.
[Ab] Well I feel so broke out, [Eb] .
I want to [Ab] go home.
.
So, why stop at John B.
Safe, and see how the main cell said, come for the captain ashore.
and let me [Eb] go home.
.
Let me [Ab] go home.
Why don't they let me [Db] go home.
Yeah, yeah.
Well [Ab] I feel so broke out, [Eb] I want [Ab] to go home.
He did it, he did it, he did it.
The first day he got drunk, and broke him a captive truck.
.
Constable had to come and take him [Eb] away.
.
Chair of [Ab] Johnstone, why don't you leave me [Db] alone.
Hey yeah.
[Ab] Well I feel so broke out, [Eb] I want to [Ab] go home.

Safe.
For a cook he got the fish, and he threw away all my grits.
And then he took, and he ate up all of [Eb] my corn.
.
Let me [Ab] go home.
.
[Db] .
[Ab] This is the worst trip [Eb] .
I've ever [Ab] been on.
