San Miguel by The Beach Boys
(Dennis Wilson/Gregg Jakobson)
Sounds best to me when using barre chords for everything except the D chord.
Bb
Started off the day with a thought
F
That took me far away
Bb
I think I found a place
F
Where I know I can be forever
D
It's down in San Miguel
G
Could be in Mexico
C
Where you don't need no dough
F-F#-G
I know I'm gonna go
(Lookin' for the ladies of love)

Bb
I go where I'm going
Goin' straight ahead
F
Down in to San Miguel
Bb
Over the top
We cross the border now
F
Headin' in to San Miguel
D
That's where I'm gonna go
G
Hope that you'll be comin' too
C
You can kick off your shoes
F-F#-G
Come on it's time to go
Lookin' for the ladies of love
(Play verse chords over the Ow Ow's and yi yi yi's)
Ow ow
Yiyiyiyiyiyi
D
It's down in San Miguel
G
Could be in Mexico
C
Where you don't need no dough
F-F#-G
I know I'm gonna go
Lookin' for the ladies of love
