Verse 1:

Ab Bbm

In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay

To conquer those waves some thirty feet high

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

Surf fever brings 'em here to meet the test

C#m E A

And hangin' 'round the beach you'll see the best

But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay

To catch a last wave and ride it in alone
