[D] The sun's dropping out of the picture, [A] soon be time to move.
Hasn't been a real big day, [G] but I don't have a thing [D] to prove.
I've still got the old nose rider, [A] I still surf old style.
I'll go out beyond the breakers, [G] sit alone and rest [D] a while.
[G]
There's nothing [A] that I wanna do, [G] no place I'm [A] trying to reach.
[D] Only time is now [G] more precious to the [A] oldest surfer [G] on the beach.
The [A] oldest surfer [D] on the beach.
[Em] [A]
[D] I stopped searching for perfection [A] many waves ago.
What really matters is the here and now, [G] and that's about all [D] I know.
Gonna catch me a big old roller, [A] sun setting on the sea.
Riding in on her glassy shoulder, [G] the water going gray [D] like me.
