Catch A Wave

A

G
A
D
Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world
D
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around (Everybody tries it once)
A

Those who don't just have to put it down
G
You paddle out, turn around and raise
D
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
A
F
G
A
D
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world
Not just a fad 'cause it's been going on so long (All the surfers going strong) They said it wouldn't last too long They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world
A
D
A
D
G
D
Catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy (Get yourself a big board) But don't you treat it like a toy Just get away from the shady turf And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin' on top of the world (Way up high, up on top of the world) Catch a wave, you'll be sittin' on top of the world (Way up high, up on top of the world)
