Help Me Rhonda Chords by The Beach Boys

Help Me Rhonda chords by The Beach Boys

Guitar chords with lyrics

This transcription pertains to the LP version of the song. If I get enough
demand, I will transcribe the more well-known 45 version.

For Dave Berry fans: The first line is NOT "Well, since she put me down
there's been owls pukin' in my bed." Sorry. ;-}

                                 "Help Me Rhonda"
                                  (Brian Wilson)
                                  The Beach Boys
                                   Today!, 1965

Note: The recording is in C#, but is transcribed here in C w/ a capo on the
1st
      fret.
