Vampire Weekend – The Surfer (Guitar)

G6
Back on the island,

FM7          FM9
Water Tunnel 3

G6
A cage ascended,

FM7                Fm9
someone looks like me

G6                 FM7
Look up at fingers reaching

     FM9
into space

G6                FM7
A Roman soldier's spearhead

                 FM9
jammed above the waist

G6
Heard someone speaking,

  FM7             FM9
a voice without a face

G6
The ocean's churning,

    FM7            FM9
the cables stay in place

G6
An operation

    FM7             FM9
the locals couldn't save

G6
An undercover agent

FM7                 FM9
drowned beneath the waves

C           C/B
Outside the confines

     D            D7
of a super-mini's door

          GM7        Bm/F#
There's a California king placed

Em7             D
directly on the floor

    C                C/B
Oh, the surfer can't forget

    D                 D7
the shells around his neck, but you were

GM7          Bm/F#
born beneath fluorescent lights, you've

G13          G7#5              G6
never seen a starry night, you saint

G6
Fake fortune teller,

FM7            FM9
Scandalized by fate

G6
Broke bodybuilder

FM7                 FM9
crushed beneath the weight

G6
Lost and deluded

FM7                 FM9
trying to find your place

G6
Inept long-distance runner

FM7          FM9
losing every race

C           C/B
Outside the confines

     D            D7
of a super-mini's door

          GM7        Bm/F#
There's a California king placed

Em7             D
directly on the floor

    C                C/B
Oh, the surfer can't forget

    D                 D7
the shells around his neck, but you were

GM7          Bm/F#
born beneath fluorescent lights, you've

G13          G7#5              G6
never seen a starry night, you saint
