The Beach Boys - Our prayer

Below is my arrangement of Brian Wilson's Our Prayer, the opener to SMiLE. The piece was originally accapella for 5 voices, i have tried to keep it as unchanged as possible, only dropping notes when two singers are singing the same note at the same time, which happens only rarely. Ive added slides betweem some notes that i think are easier to fret in that manner, and when i play the piece i will occasionally play the notes of a chord one after the other to let them ring out, just to add texture. Thanks to the folks at surfermoon.com and Rui Afonso for his transcription to sheet music, this arrangement largely follows his. The piece is split into chunks at points i found helpful, rather than the strict bars of sheet music e|{|-11------------------------|---------------------------| B|{|-11---14----13-------11----|--11----------------4------| G|{|-11---------13-------11----|--11---------6--7---0------| D|{|------------13-------------|------13-----3-------------| A|{|------13-------------13----|---------------------------| E|{|-11---------14--16---------|--14---------6--4---6------| e|-----------------|-----------9------|--8------6-----| B|-----6--8---9----|---11------9------|--6--7---6-----| G|-8---7--8--------|---10/12---6/8----|-----8------6--| D|-6----------10---|---8--------------|--6--7---8-----| A|-----------------|-----------8/9----|---------------| E|-----6--9---8----|---10/11----------|------------6--| e|-11-------------------------|--9----------8-------| B|-11---14----13-------11-----|--11---------9-------| G|-11---------13-------11-----|--10---8-------------| D|------------13-----------11-|--8------------------| A|------13-------------13-----|-------10----11-9----| E|-11---------14--16-------11-|---------------------| e|-6---------------| B|-6---------7-----| G|----7------------| D|--------8--------| A|-8---------6-----| E|----6---9--------| e|-----------------|-----------9------|--8------6-----| B|-----6--8---9----|---11------9------|--6--7------6--| G|-8---7--8--------|---10/12---6/8----|-----8------6--| D|-6----------10---|---8--------------|--6--7---8-----| A|-----------------|-----------8/9----|---------------| E|-----6--9---11---|---10/11----------|------------6--| e|-9------8-------|--6----------5--6--| B|-9--8---7---6---|--5-----4----4-----| G|-10-8-------7---|-----6--5-------6--| D|-8------7---6---|--5--4-------3-----| A|----------------|-------------2-----| E|----------------|----------------6--| e|-6--------------13---|---6--| B|-9--7--6--4----------|------| G|---------------------|---7--| D|-------6--4-----12---|------| A|-8--9----------------|---8--| E|----------6-----13---|---6--| Endless respect to Brian Wilson for this composition, I hope this makes people smile!
