C Dm Dm7 G C
Teenage gamblers sittin' in a Rambler listenin' to the radio
F G Am7 C
And then standing in the grandstand following the gameplan
D7 G7
Watching life's plays unfold
C Dm Dm7 G C
You fell in love with a pretty cheerleader, I even married one
F G Am7 C
And we once rode a cab out in Salt Lake City now
D7 G7
Comin' up with "Fun Fun Fun"
[Chorus]
C Dm
They say that Brian is back
Dm7 G C
Well I've known him for oh so long
F G Am7 C
They say Brian is back
D7 G7
Well I never knew that he was gone
C Dm
Still they say Brian is back
Dm7 G C
I know he's had his ups and downs
F G Am7 Em7
Well they say Brian is back
Dm7 G7 C
But in my heart he's always been around
[Verse 2]
C Dm Dm7 G C
I still remember them soundin' sweet and tender singin' "Danny Boy" on Grandma's lap
F G Am7 C
And those harmony highs could bring tears to my eyes
D7 G7
I guess I'm just a sentimental sap
C Dm Dm7 G C
"Good Vibrations" caused such a sensation, not to mention ol' Pet Sounds
F G Am7 C
And we traveled the world as the banners unfurled
D7 G7
I guess you'd have to say we got around
[Chorus]
C Dm
They say that Brian is back
Dm7 G C
Well I've known him for oh so long
F G Am7 C
They say Brian is back
D7 G7
Well I never knew that he was gone
C Dm
Still they say Brian is back
Dm7 G C
I know he's had his ups and downs
F G Am7 Em7
Well they say Brian is back
Dm7 G7 C
But in my heart he's always been around
[Instrumental]
C Dm Dm7 G C F G Am7 C D7 G7 (x2)
[Chorus]

Well I've known him for oh so long
