(Jan Berry - Brian Wilson)
Intro (acapella):
[B E F#] Eb
Two girls for every boy
Verse 1:
Ab Fm
I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woodie
Ab
(Surf City, here we come)
Ab Fm
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goodie
Ab Fm
(Surf City, here we come)
Db Bbm
Well, it ain't got a back set or a rear window
Gb Eb
But it still gets me where I wanna go
Chorus:
Ab
And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Db
You know we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ab
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
B E F# [1, 2: Eb; 3: to coda]
Two girls for every boy
Verse 2:
You know they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always
somethin' goin
(Surf City, here we come)
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
(Surf City, here we come)
Yeah, and there's two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
(Surf City, here we come)
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
(Surf City, here we come)
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl [hold Eb extra bar]
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
C F G C [to fade]
Two girls for every boy

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 JAN AND DEAN 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.
