1st verse:
A9 Ddim
Patty Whitebull fell asleep for 15 years
A9 Ddim
Then unexpectedly she woke to joy and tears
A9 Ddim
She ordered pizza and then asked about her kids
A9 Ddim
They're all grown up now on the reservation grid
[The Ddim chords should be played loudly w/ distortion, while the A chords are quiet.

1st Chorus:
A G D/F#
Sidewalk serfer girl
Fdim A D/A
I'd do anything to catch you falling
A G D/F#
Slidewalk surfer girl
Fdim D/A Am D
I'd do anything to be with you, sometimes Oh
2nd Verse: [A Ddim]
Since Patty fell asleep things got so extreme
Surfer boys and girls searching for a dream
Paraglide from space die your bungee best
Set yourself alight whilst famine kills the rest
(the A chords are palm-muted power chords as shown below, and the Ddim are same as in
1st verse)

3rd Verse: [like 2nd]
When Patty's aunts don't know the uncles will have fun
She cruised the streets at night she left home on the run (swell)
She never talks to me cos I'm a major yawn (excuse me)
Return the difference don't retake me, I'm no pawn
Last Chorus:
