Surrender*: Cheap Trick CAPO II
A7-sus4/G A (repeat 4x)
VERSE 1
A E D A
Mother told me, yes she told me, I'd meet girls like you.
E D A
She also told me, stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch
D E A
Just the other day I heard of a soldier's falling off
D E A
Some Indonesian junk that's going 'round
CHORUS
A F#m7 Esus4 D
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
A F#m7 Esus4 D
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay
A7-sus4/G A (repeat 2x)
VERSE 2
Father says your mother's right, she's really up on things.
Before we married, mommy served in the WACs in the Philippines.
Now I had heard the WACs recruited old maids for the war
But mom isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
CHORUS
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay
VERSE 3
Whatever happened to all this season's loosers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking 'Where'd they disappear?'
Then I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
CHORUS
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay
A7-sus4/G F#m7 Esus4

and 1 full step up for verse 3 and final chorus)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CHEAP TRICK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
