{with intro}

The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear
I'm waxing down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxing down because it's really a blast

{distorted}
D         C              G
I'm going surfing 'cuz I don't like your face
D           C             G
I'm bailing out because I hate the race
D            C             G
of rats that run round and round in the maze
D         C         G
I'm going surfin',  I'm going surfin'


{chorus}
C             D
You take your car to work               Note: the C sounds good when
C            G                                you play with the album.
I'll take my board                            If you play alone, a B
C               D                             sounds better
And when you're out of fuel
C         G
I'm still afloat

D          C                G
My buddies and their homies all come along
D         C             G
They seem invincible as they surf along
D          C              G
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg
D           C        G
We're goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin'

{chorus}
C             D
You take your car to work
C            G
I'll take my board
C               D
And when you're out of fuel
C         G
I'm still afloat

{interlude}
A    C        G
All along the undertow
   A        C        G
is strengthening its hold
A       C            G
I never thought it'd come to this
A         C        G
Now I can never go home
