                          "Ride The Wild Surf"
              (Jan Berry - Roger Christian - Brian Wilson)

Intro:

	D                 G        D   Eb
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	    Ab                              Bbm
	In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay
	           Cm          Eb            Ab
	Where the best surfers in the world come to stay
	     Ab                       Bbm
	And ride the wild surf, they come to try
	    Cm            Eb         Fm
	To conquer those waves some thirty feet high

Chorus:

	 C#
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 Eb
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 C#
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 Ab    Fm       C#   Bb   C    Eb  E
	Gotta take that one last ride

	[key changes to A]

Verse 2:

	 A                             Bm
	Surf fever brings 'em here to meet the test
	    C#m                 E            A
	And hangin' 'round the beach you'll see the best
	         A                          Bm
	They're waxed up and ready, just a-waitin' for
	    C#m           E          F#m
	The surf to build up on the northern shore

Chorus [in A]:

	 D
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 E
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 D
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 A    F#m        D   B    C#    D
	Gotta take that one last ride

Bridge:

	 G            A                D               Bm
	Lined up and waitin' for that next big set outside
	 G
	Nothin' can stop it 'cause you
	D             E
	  Just gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Verse 3:

	The heavies at the Pipeline are OK
	But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay
	It takes a lot of skill and courage unknown
	To catch a last wave and ride it in alone

Chorus:

	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 A     F#m       D   E
	Gotta take that one last

	[key changes to Bb]

	 Bb    Gm       Eb   F    Bb
	Gotta take that one last ride

Chorus [in Bb]:

	 Eb
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 F
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 Eb
	Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
	 Bb    Gm       Eb   F   Eb           Bb
	Gotta take that one last ri-i-i-i-i-i-ide
