Catch a wave and you're sitting [A] on top of [D] the world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Catch a wave, [A] catch a wave, catch a wave
Don't try to catch a wave
[D]
[G] If you battle out, turn around and raise them [D] baby
That's all there is to the coastline craze
You [A] gotta [F] catch a [G] wave and you're sitting [A] on top [D] of the world
Woo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah
Not just a bet, cause it's been going on so long
Catch a wave, catch a [A] wave, catch a wave
They say it wouldn't last [D] too [G] long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And [D] watch them, they'll hit the road and I'll be surfing soon
And [A] when they [F] catch a wave, [G] they'll be sitting [A] on top of [D] the world
Woo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah

[A] [F] Catch a wave [G] and you're sitting [A] on top of [D] the world

So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Catch a wave, catch a wave, catch a [A] wave
It's a big boy
But don't you fret, it'll last for [D] a long time
Woo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah-oo [G]-ah
Just get away from the shady turfin' [D] baby
Go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And [A] when you [F] catch a wave, [G] you'll be sitting [A] on top of [D] the world
Woo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah-oo-ah-oo [A]-ah
