A.A. Bondy (born Auguste Arthur Bondy in Louisiana; also known as Scott Bondy ) is an American folk/alternative artist, the former lead singer of Birmingham, AL's Southern grunge darlings Verbena. After Verbena broke up in 2003, Bondy retreated to a Catskills home in Palenville in upstate New York and in time began writing songs again, emerging with a stripped-down indie folk sound. He recorded and mixed his debut album, "American Hearts", at a barn near his home, releasing the project in 2007 on the Superphonic imprint.

SONG: SURFER KING ARTIST: A.A. BONDY VIDEO: https://youtu.be/bGqGSfr09dY TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected]
NOTE: The song may not be in standard tuning. However, i made a chord tab for it that way. ALso, I did the INTRO the way I hear it. Feel free to improvise with hammer ons and pull offs. This however sounds really good to me and is a simplified version and is easy to follow.

VERSE:
C Behind the red door, C In American skin CFC There is a murder of roses
C In the midnight hiss, C Come cover me there CFC For I am electric nothing
CHORUS Dm Out on the tide, Dm Strangers all CC Are drowning by
Dm Under eclipse, Dm I wait for your kiss Em With the beating CG Of her all gone
C These idiot hearts

VERSE: C And no more evil now, C No horror sound CFC No maniac song from tyrant
C And the surfer king C Will show me everything CFC In the great green flash of the evening
CHORUS Dm Out on the tide, Dm Strangers we ride CC Smoke in our eyes
Dm Under eclipse, Dm I wait for your kiss Em With the beating CG Of her all gone
