Hello all, and welcome to another edition of “Ask the Musician” with me, Jim Fusco!
Tonight, I’m answering a question I’ve gotten a lot: “What are the chords to the Beach Boys’ “Disney Girls (1957)”? One of our readers, Albert, left a nice message on my cover version of this song here on the blog, so I wanted to thank him by posting the chords so he can play it himself!
If you want to see the song played solo and acoustically, CLICK HERE to read my blog post and see the music video!

Eb7 Bb/D F/C F / Fdim / C7 / Gm7 / D / C7 / E
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls I’m coming back
Patti Page and summer days on old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine in my garage
Country shade and lemonade guess I’m slowing down
It’s a turned back world with a local girl in a smaller town
Open cars and clearer stars that’s what I’ve lacked
Eb7 Bb/D F/C A7
But fantasy world and Disney girls I’m coming back
Dm Gm7
Love…Hi Rick and Dave Hi Pop…good morning mom
C7 Fmaj7 F6
Love…get up guess what I’m in love with a girl I found
Bb C7/Bb Gdim/A A7 D7+5 D7 Fdim/G / G7 / C7+5 / C7 / Gm7/C / C7
She’s really swell ’cause she likes Church, bingo chances and old time dances
All my life I spent the night with dreams of you
And the warmth I missed and for the things I wished they’re all coming true
I’ve got my love to give and a place to live guess I’m gonna stay
It’d be a peaceful life with a forever wife and a kid someday
It’s early nights and pillow fights and your soft laugh
Eb7……………………….Bb/D………………..F/C
Fantasy world and Disney girls I’m coming back
