Surf Music
Paul Williams
#For easier chords transpose -2 and capo on 2# [Intro] Raindrops keep falling And tempos will drop But I need some sunshine tonight [Verse 1] I wrote this song on some software that I stole when I was 17 I thought that it might get me somewhere I’m still nowhere and I’m 23 [Pre-Chorus] Oh when I hear that wet California sound I swear there ain’t nobody that’s getting me down Cause they put all the right notes in all the right places [Chorus] Now we’re driving up the coast And we’re sitting on the hood of my car Oh we’re walking down the boardwalk Or at the drive-in under the stars When I hear that surf music I hear that surf It’s telling me "don’t let shit get you down" [Verse 2] I always believed I could achieve my every dream And now I’m not that sure Back home in Nelson people used to talk about it But they ain’t saying nothing no more [Pre-Chorus] When I feeling like having a friend I head for the place where summer don’t ever end Where they put all the right notes in all the right places [Chorus] Now we’re driving up the coast And we’re sitting on the hood of my car Oh we’re walking down the boardwalk Or at the drive-in under the stars When I hear that surf music I hear that surf It’s telling me "don’t let shit get you down" [Bridge] And I ain’t even catch any waves But on the radio stays You know I still crave that sound And she’s got the most beautiful eyes Reflecting pink satin skies As we watch that sun go down Sitting on the hood of my car And we ain’t got no place we should be And she looks like Lauren from Fifth Harmony Oh and we can work from home tonight If what I think that means is even right Cause I never believed in love on sight Now looking at you I suddenly do I do I do [Chorus] Now we’re driving up the coast And we’re sitting on the hood of my car Oh we’re walking down the boardwalk Or at the drive-in under the stars When I hear that surf music I hear that surf It’s telling me "don’t let shit get you down"
