I may be the first one to record a song using the new BIB Surf Style. I was inspired by watching the Mavericks competition, and loaded the song with all the surf lingo it would stand. I listened to the great 60's surf instrumentals for inspiration, particularly Apache and Pipeline. I noticed that there is a fine line between Apache and the spaghetti western themes of Georgio Moroder. Overdubs are a couple of surf guitars and percussion. Lead vocal was done on a Panasonic tape recorder mic from the 1960's, heavily compressed through a Boss CS-3.

Surfing my Life Away

CFG(4)
CAmFGC (2) intro
CF Well I ain't no titan, just an average Joe
CG when the swell is rising I got to go
CAm Take my big gun out and put on a show
FGC surfing my life away

CF I get around, yeh I've seen it all
CG inside the barrel, over the falls,
CAm I'll be there when the ocean calls
FGC surfing my life away

Am I've seen all the breaks around the world
CG I've got my woodie and my surfer girl
EmDm I got no dough, but even so
FG I always find a way
FDm Hanging five I come alive
CG when you're crankin you hear no jive
CAm The noise all stops when you make that drop
FGC Surfing my life away
CFCG
CAmFCG solo
CFG(4)
CF I'm a junkyard dog on dawn patrol
CG when the grems get worked, I'm in control
CAm I was ten when I sold my soul
FGC surfing my life away

CF I'm still a barney on dry land
CG it never breaks the way I planned
CAm give me a set I can understand
FGC surfing my life away
CAmFGC(2)
CF a cleanup set is all I need
CG the ocean's mine, the waves are free
CAm that'll be enough for me
FGC surfing my life away
