{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?"
