Surfin' Bird

Guitar and Bass Tab
Standard tuning.

Surfin' Bird is a cover of the 
Trashmen and the Cramps, recorded in
 less than two
hours in Sydney, New South Wales, 
Australia during late January 1996. 
It appears on
MOM, a compilation which is a 
benefit for the Surfrider 
Foundation. Very basic song
with three chords. I think the bass 
follows the guitar except in the 
second riff.

the first riff played eight times 
is:
       E5          B5     E5     
e||-----------------------------------------------||
   B5

      "Everybody's heard a-bout the 
bird ..."


the following riff isn't the same for guitar and bass:
   B5

  "Don't you know about the bird,  
everybody's heard about the bird."


The third is the same as the first
one, played twice, then a E5 chord 
that Daniel slides down.
      E5          B5     E5
