#1. (Capo 1st fret for original.)
G
Down in Doheny where the surfers all go,
C
there's a big bleach blondie, named Surfer Joe.
G
He's got a green surfboard and a Woody to match,
D
and when he's ridin' the freeway's,
G
man, is he hard to catch.
CHORUS:
G C
Surfer Joe..Now, look at him go..whoa..whoa..whoa,
G
Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o..Go man go-o-o.
D C G D
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe.
#2.
G
I saw him one day flyin' down the road,
C
with tenty-six surfboards and a hundred pound load.
G
I knew where he was headin,' tryin' to reach..
D G
the playground of the surfers, Doheny Beach.
CHORUS:
#3.
G
He went down to Huntington Beach one week,
C
for the annual surfer's convention meet.
G
Hangin' five and walkin' the nose and when
D G
the meet was over, the trophy was Joe's.
CHORUS:
#4.
G
Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam's Marines today,
C
they stationed him at Pendleton, not far away.
G
they cut off his big blonde locks, I'm told,
D G
and when he went on manoeuvers, Joe caught cold.
CHORUS:
#5.
G
Now, no, that didn't stop him, or keep him away.
C
When the surf was up, he still had his day.
G
They caught him at the Trestle, down by the sea,
D G
and now, poor Joe is doin' K.P.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
