D
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around (catch a wave, catch a wave)
A                                   D
Those who don't just have to put it down

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
 You paddle out turn around and raise
        D
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze

[Chorus 1]
         A        F               G          A          D
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world

[Verse 2]
D
Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long (catch a wave, catch a wave)
A                              D
They said it wouldn't last too long

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
             D
And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon

[Chorus 2]
             A        F               G          A          D
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world

[Solo]
A  D  A  D
G  D 

[Chorus 3]
A         F             G          A          D
  Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world

[Verse 3]
D
So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy (catch a wave, catch a wave)
A                             D
But don't you treat it like a toy

[Pre-Chorus 3]
G
Just get away from the shady turf
        D
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf

[Outro]
            A        F              G          A          D
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin' on top of the world
A         F                  G          A          D
  Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
(Way up high, up on top of the world)
A         F                  G          A          D
  Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
