[Verse]
A
Well it's early in the mornin' and it's time to make a start
F#m
And I put my polished surfboard on the rack upon my car
D
I head down to the surfside, where the waves are makin' fine
E spoken E
I'm gonna catch a mountain but I won't go down the mine
A
You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook
D E
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
A
And now the time is growin' near, you're movin' down the wall
D E
As steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose
A
And now you're hangin' five, hangin' five,
E A D E
Hangin' five toe-oes, upon the Mali-bu
A
And now you've hit the beach and your feelin' mighty fine
F#m
You turn your board around for the second time
D
You make it out the back, the swells are comin' fast
E E
The first ones are too small, and so you take the last
A
You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook
D E
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
A
And now the time is growin' near, you're movin' down the wall
D E
As steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose
A
And now you're hangin' five, hangin' five,
E A D E
Hangin' five toe-oes, upon the Mali-bu
A
And when the day is over and all the surfers meet
F#m
You go down to the surf club to dance and stomp and beat
D
And when the night is through you hear the fellas say
E E
Don't forget tomorrow, you got another day
A
You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook
D E
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
A
And now the time is growin' near, you're movin' down the wall
D E
As steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose
A
And now you're hangin' five, hangin' five,
E A D E
Hangin' five toe-oes, upon the Mali-bu
E A D E
Hangin' five toe-oes, upon the Mali-bu
