SONG: SURFER KING
ARTIST: A.A. BONDY
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/bGqGSfr09dY
TAB BY: DON CZARSKI
EMAIL: GUITARZAN7@HOTMAIL.COM
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.

Behind the red door,

In American skin

There is a murder of roses

In the midnight hiss,

Come cover me there
C F C
For I am electric nothing
CHORUS
Dm
Out on the tide,
Dm
Strangers all
C C
Are drowning by
Dm
Under eclipse,
Dm
I wait for your kiss
Em
With the beating
C G
Of her all gone
C
These idiot hearts
