{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
{Without intro/With Distortion}
D/A C/G G
I'm going surfing 'cuz I don't like your face
D/A C/G G
I'm bailing out because I hate the race
D/A C/G G
of rats that run round and round in the maze
D/A C/G G
I'm going surfin', I'm going surfin'
{CHORUS}
C/G D/A
You take your car to work Note: the C/E sounds good when
C/E G you play with the album.
I'll take my board If you play alone, an E/B
C/G D/A sounds better
And when you're out of fuel
C/E G
I'm still afloat
D/A C/G G
My buddies and their homies all come along
D/A C/G G
They seem invincible as they surf along
D/A C/G G
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg
D/A C/G G
We're goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin'
{CHORUS}
C/G D/A
You take your car to work
C/E G
I'll take my board
C/G D/A
And when you're out of fuel
C/E G
I'm still afloat
{INTERLUDE}
A/E C/G G
All along the undertow
A/E C/G G
is strengthening its hold
A/E C/G G
I never thought it'd come to this
A/E C/G G
Now I can never go home

"Maybe it's just a coincidence
or maybe she doesn't know what to get;
But why does it seem like every year's
a toolbox Christmas?"
-Jehovah's Toolshed
