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)

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.
"[1]He[2]ro[3]es[4] a[1]nd[2] V[3]il[4]la[1]in[2]s.[3]..[4]..[1]..[2]..[3]do[4]ne.

[1]Do[2]..[3]..[4]..[1]..[2]..[3]..[4].a[1]h.[2]."[3][4][1][2][3][4]
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.
"My C[1]hildr[2]en...[3]..ris[4]e....[1].....[2].....[3]..wea[4]lthy
W[1]ise..[2].....[3].....[4].....[1](temp[2]o sta[3]rts t[4]o slow)
BRIDGE II: "I've been in this town". No Bass.
CHORUS: Repeat Chorus pattern, till fade out.
There you have it! I think it gives a basic idea of the song. Any problems,
