"Pitter Patter" (Wilson/Love/Jardine)
From "M.I.U. Album" (1978)
While this song in the Brian-ish key of Eb,
the rhythm guitar does shuffle figures consistent
with E and A shapes suggesting a half-step down tuning.
The slide and other lead parts are probably the same.

Winter and its cold, soon will lose its hold, with the changes spring will bring.

Sun comes pouring down, warming up the ground, bringing new life with the spring.
