Biography:
CocoRosie is an American duo formed in 2003 by sisters Bianca "Coco" and Sierra "Rosie" Casady. The sisters were born and raised in the United States (Sierra, the older of the two, was born in Iowa, and Bianca was born in Hawaii), but formed the band in Paris, France after meeting for the first time in years. Their mother nicknamed them Rosie and Coco, respectively, from which their musical act takes its name. Their music has been called freak folk, and incorporates elements of pop, blues, opera, electronica, and hip hop.

"Surfer Girl" by CocoRosie
From the single "Lemonade" (2010)
Written by Brian Wilson
Tabbed by CJWilky
Thanks to the creator of the original Beach Boys chords version 1, and the comments there.
It's worth reading the comments in relation to some of the chords here, at:
https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/the_beach_boys/surfer_girl_crd.htm
Major and minor comments, suggestions and constructive slagging off all welcome, I will update this.
First a version with just the lead vocals and below is one including the backing vocals.
Both versions are standard tuning, Capo 1.
To avoid barre chords, play Capo 3 (transpose -2).
Then cheat by skipping the key change by playing a G7 at the end of the Bridge and, keeping Capo 3, transpose
the remainder of the song to -3. This way it's the same group of open chords all the way through.
Obviously this is not identical to the CocoRosie song, but still sounds good and is easier.
(I added a version right at the bottom here without the key change for you to transpose)
