Caroline No by The Beach Boys: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

This tab takes into account the fact that it´s final cut was sped up by one semi-tone to G#. "Caroline, No" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher. It marked Wilson´s solo debut when released as a single in March 1966, peaking at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Two months later, Wilson´s recording reappeared as the final track on the Beach Boys´ studio album Pet Sounds. Wilson compared the song to the music of Glenn Miller and the song "Hey Girl" (1963) as recorded by Freddie Scott, claiming that "Caroline, No" wasn´t written about anyone in specific. On another occasion, he credited the song´s inspiration to an unrequited love interest from high school who happened to be named Carol.
