Song Title: Heroes and Villains Artist: Beach Boys Written by: Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks Transcribed by: Andrew Bee Note: This song is another fine example of Brian Wilson's creative mind. Here is a rough idea of the bass work. It seems fairly simple, and probabley should be played on a 5─string bass, but here it is arranged on a 4─string. VERSE S) g───────────────────────────────────── d───────────────────────────────────── a─────4───────4───────4───────4─────── e───────────4───────4───────4───────4─ 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + "I've been in this..... g───────────────────────────────────── d───────────────────────────────────── a─────4───────4───────4───────4─────── e───────────4───────4───────4───────4─ 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + "taken... g───────────────────────────────────── d───────────────────────────────────── a─────6───────6───────6───────6─────6─ e───────────6───────6───────6───────── 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + long..."

Repeat this pattern again for Verse II: "Once at night...". End the second last bar simply on "a──4──". CHORUS Note: Allow note to sustain over the whole 4 bars. a────6─────────────────────────────────── e──────────────────────────────────────── 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 "Heroes and Villains.........done. a──────────────────────────────────────── e────4─────────────────────────────────── 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 "Doo Do............ ba ba..... a────6─────────────────────────────────── e──────────────────────────────────────── 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 "Heroes and Villains .........done. a──────────────────────────────────────── e────4─────────────────────────────────── 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 "Doo Do Do......... ba ba..... a────────────6─────────────────────────── e────6───────────────4─────────────────── 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Do.............ah.." VERSE III Repeat Verse tab for "La La La...la", and "Shall be Peace in the Valley" section. After this the BASS drops out and there is the vocal exercise. BRIDGE I Doesn't sound like there's any bass, but try this anyhow ─ I like it. Tempo slows down, assume to half the speed of Verse. d──────────────3────4────6────4────3─────── a────4────6─────────────────────────────6── 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 "My Children.....rise................wealthy d──────────────3────4────6────4────3───────── a────4────6─────────────────────────────6─(hold note) 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Wise.................(tempo starts to slow) BRIDGE II "I've been in this town". No Bass. CHORUS Repeat Chorus pattern, till fade out. Andrew Bee.
