     A
Ooh, baby, your asphalt eater hung ten,

    A
the hoedads and gremmies say you reached top end.

           D
So, do the dead, through the lights,

            D
the surfin' dead, oooh make it tight.

           E**                        D**
The livin' dead, now, baby lose their heads,

                    A
now baby, doin' the dead.
[Verse 2]
               A
Yeah, you're a high-rev hauler with all four on the floor

         A
but your a-bone's busted and you're through the door.

           D
So, do the dead, juice the Coupe,

                   D
come on the livin' dead, ooh you're in the soup

           E**                    D**
The livin' dead now, baby, like I   said now, baby,

       A
do the   dead.
[Verse 3]
          A
Your carburetor don't carb, got a hammer down this,

         A
your generator gens but your pistons don't work.

       D
Do the dead, run for ten,

           D
the surfin   dead, c'mon turn it in.

           E**                   D**
The livin' dead insist, it's the   latest twist,

       A
do the dead. Run run run run, now do it.

                     Stay sick!
[Interlude] | A | A | D | A | | E** D** | A || [Bridge] (with infading A-chord) N.C. You square brains out there better beware,
       ( A )
oh, this phantom driver down in the ground.

           A
You better plant 'em right or they'll come around,

A
move out, baby, move that mound.

           A
Or they'll dig it up and they'll shut you down

     A                   A
So c'mon, aw c'mon, aw c'mon . . .
| A | A | A | A | [Verse 4]
     A
Now, life is short and it's filled with stuff,

    A
so, let me know baby when you've had enough.

           D
Oh, do the dead, turn blue,

                  D
yeah, the surfin' dead, as dead as you.

            E**                  D**
Oh, there's nothing on the radio when you're dead,

        E**                       D**
there's nothing at the movie show when you're dead,

        E**                        D**
there's nowhere left for you to go when you're dead.
[Outro]
       A
Do the dead, yeah do the dead,

       A
do the dead, surfin' dead.
