Verse 1:

            Ab                              Bbm
        In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay
                   Cm          Eb            Ab
        Where the best surfers in the world come to stay
             Ab                       Bbm
        And ride the wild surf, they come to try
            Cm            Eb         Fm
        To conquer those waves some thirty feet high

Chorus:

         Db
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         Eb
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         Db
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         Ab    Fm       Db   Bb   C    Eb  E
        Gotta take that one last ride

        [key changes to A]

Verse 2:

         A                             Bm
        Surf fever brings 'em here to meet the test
            C#m                 E            A
        And hangin' 'round the beach you'll see the best
                 A                          Bm
        They're waxed up and ready, just a-waitin' for
            C#m           E          F#m
        The surf to build up on the northern shore

Chorus [in A]:

         D
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         E
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         D
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         A    F#m        D   B    C#    D
        Gotta take that one last ride

Bridge:

         G            A                D               Bm
        Lined up and waitin' for that next big set outside
         G
        Nothin' can stop it 'cause you
        D             E
          Just gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Verse 3:

        The heavies at the Pipeline are OK
        But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay
        It takes a lot of skill and courage unknown
        To catch a last wave and ride it in alone

Chorus:

        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         A     F#m       D   E
        Gotta take that one last

Chorus [in Bb]:

         Eb
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         F
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         Eb
        Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
         Bb    Gm       Eb   F   Eb           Bb
        Gotta take that one last ri-i-i-i-i-i-ide
