	  Ab         Fm
	(Surf City, here we come)
	         Db                        Bbm

	Gb                            Eb
	But it still gets me where I wanna go

Chorus:

	           Ab
	And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
	You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
	                Db
	You know we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one

	You know they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always
		somethin' goin
	(Surf City, here we come)

	(Surf City, here we come)
	Yeah, and there's two swingin' honeys for every guy
	And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

	And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
	(Surf City, here we come)
	I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
