[Intro 1]
[G]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Well, she [Am]tied me to the
headboard with a surf leash
And her wet hair hugged her
body like a long lost friend
And I really tried my best
to get across to her
But [A]noth[Am]ing [F]she would say
could be de[Am]fen d[D]ed[Dm][Eb]
[Dm]Well,

[Verse 2]
[Am]her birthday suit,
it was her only present
When I looked into her eyes, no history
And I [Dm]told [D]her eating people
wasn't pleasant
But she [Am]laughed a snake eye laugh
and walked away from me

[Verse 3]
And I [E]watched her as she
walked across the [D]coals
I [Am]watched her as [G]she [F]walked across
[Dm]the [Am]coals[F][G][F]
[Dm]I watched [G]her as [F]she walked [Dm]across
the [G]coals[F][Dm]
[G]I watched [F]her[Dm] as s[Dsus4]he walke[Dm]d[G][F][Dm][Dsus4][G][F]
[Dm]across [Am]the c[G]oa[F]ls[G][Dm][G][F][G][Dm]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][G][F][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[Bb]Singing, [F]I was born in
nineteen sixty [Eb]weird
I'm your [Bb]nightmare surfer [F]babe
Mr. Wilson,
where's your sandbox and your beard?
You still [Eb]looking for the perfect
mi[Bb]crowave?

[Interlude 2]
[Am][A][Am]

[Verse 5]
So I [Am]really try my best to get across to her
I [A]said, [Am]"One day every
pebble hits the beach"
And I [D]kissed her face and held her
[Dsus4]like a lo[D]ng lost[Dm] frie[D]nd
[Am]She was too far out there to be reached
To be reached,
she was too far out [F]there

[Interlude 3]
[Bb]

[Verse 6]
She [Bb]was singing,
[F]I was born in nineteen sixty wei[C]rd[Eb]
I'm your nightmare surfer [Bb]babe
[F]Mr. Wilson,
where's your sandbox and your [C]beard?
You [Eb]still looking for the
perfect mi[Bb]crowave?
[D]

[Verse 7]
[D]And the sun came up over the mountain
And the waves rolled in across the bay
And the fabulous brightly
[Esus4]colored birds
Flew [E]up [Esus4]out of the forest

[Verse 8]
[Esus4]And she said,[E] "Well[D],
[E]we're all heaven's
Beautiful children living
together in [Esus4]para dise
Lie down [E]my [D]dear, you're going to [E]en joy [D]this"
[E]

[Interlude 4]
[Esus4][E][Esus4][E][D][Esus4][E][Esus4]
[E]And she looked

[Verse 9]
[D]like she'd
had [Esus4]sex
[E]With a Tyrannosaurus Rex

[Interlude 5]
[E][Dm][E]
[D][E][D][C][Cm][C][F][C]
[F][Cm][F]

[Verse 10]
I was born [F]in nineteen sixty [Eb]weird
I'm your nightmare [Bb]surfer babe
[F]Mr. Wilson, where's your
sandbox and your beard?
You still [Eb]looking for that
perfect microwave?
[Bb]

[Verse 11]
[F]I was born in nineteen sixty wei[C]rd
[Eb]And I'm your nightmare
surfer [Bb]babe, oh man
[F]Mr. Wilson,
where's your [C]sandbox and your beard?
You still [Eb]looking for that perfect microwave,
[Bb]perfect [F]microwave?
