-1*-1*3* 3* 4 4 4
In Ha-wai-i there’s a place
-5* -5* 4* 4*4*4* -3*
known as Wai-a-me-a Bay
-3* 3* 3 3* 3*
Where the best surf-ers
-3*-3* 4* 4 -3* 3*
in the world come to stay
-1* 3* 3* 4 4 -5* 4* 4 -3*
And ride the wild surf they come to try
3* 3 3 3* -3*
To con-quer those waves
4* 4 4 -3* 4
some thir-ty feet high

REFRAIN
-2 -2 -2 -2 -2 3 -2

Ride ride ride the wild surf

Ride ride ride the wild surf
4 4 4 -3* 3* -3* 4
Got-ta take that one last ride

2 -3 4* 4* 4* 4* 6
The surf fev-er brings ’em here
6 -5 4* -4
to meet the test
-3 3* 3* -3 -3 -4
And hang-ing round the beach
-5 4* -4 -3

2 -3 4* 4* 4* 4*
They’re waxed up and read-y
6 6 -5 4* -4
just a wait-ing for
-3 3* 3* -3 -4 -5 -5 4* -4 4*
The surf to build up on the north-ern shore

-2* -2* -2* -2* -2*3 -2*

Lined up and wait-ing for

-3 -3 -2* 2 3* -4 -5 -6*
just got-ta ride ride ride ride ride

2 -3 -3 4* 4* 4* 6 -5 4*-4
The heav-ies at the pipe-line are O- K
-3 -3 3* -3
But they can’t match
-3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4*-4 -4-3 -3
the sav-age surf at Wai-a-me-a Bay
2 -3 -3 4* 4* 4*
It takes a lot of skills
6 -5 4* -4 -4
and cour-age un-known
-3 3* 3* -3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4* -4 4*
To catch the last wave and ride it in a-lone
