Capo: 1

Surfer Joe:The Surfaris. Top of the charts in 1962 & '63. B-side of the record was the instrumental, 'Wipe Out.' #1. (Capo 1st fret for original.)

^GDown in Doheny where the surfers all go, there's a ^Cbig bleach blondie, named Surfer Joe. He's ^Ggot a green surfboard and a Woody to match, and when he's ^Dridin' the freeway's, man, is he hard to ^Gcatch.

CHORUS:

^GSurfer Joe..Now, look at him go..^Cwhoa..whoa..whoa, Surfer, Surfer, ^GSurfer Joe-o-o..Go man go-o-o. ^DOh-oh, oh, oh, ^Coh, Surfer ^GJoe.^D

#2.

^GI saw him one day flyin' down the road, with ^Ctenty-six surfboards and a hundred pound load. I ^Gknew where he was headin,' tryin' to reach.. the ^Dplayground of the surfers, Doheny ^GBeach.

CHORUS: #3.

^GHe went down to Huntington Beach one week, for the ^Cannual surfer's convention meet. ^GHangin' five and walkin' the nose and when the ^Dmeet was over, the trophy was ^GJoe's.

CHORUS: #4.

^GSurfer Joe joined Uncle Sam's Marines today, they ^Cstationed him at Pendleton, not far away. they ^Gcut off his big blonde locks, I'm told, and when he ^Dwent on manoeuvers, Joe caught ^Gcold.

CHORUS: #5.

^GNow, no, that didn't stop him, or keep him away. When the ^Csurf was up, he still had his day. They ^Gcaught him at the Trestle, down by the sea, and ^Dnow, poor Joe is doin' K.^GP.

CHORUS: A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
