Guitar and Bass Tab
Standard tuning.
Surfin' Bird is a cover of the Trashmen and the Cramps, recorded in less than two
hours in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia during late January 1996. It appears on
MOM, a compilation which is a benefit for the Surfrider Foundation. Very basic song
with three chords. I think the bass follows the guitar except in the second riff.
the first riff played eight times is:
E5 B5 E5 B5
e||-----------------------------------------------||
B||-----------------------------------------------||
G||-o--9-9--9-9------------9----9---------------o-||
D||-o--9-9--9-9----9-----9-9----9---9----9-9-9--o-||
A||----7-7--7-7----9-----9-7----7---9----9-9-9----||
E||----------------7-----7----------7----7-7-7----||

G||-----------------------------------------------||
D||-o-------------------------------------------o-||
A||-o--7-7--7-7------------7----7---------------o-||
E||----------------7-----7----------7----7-7-7----||
"Everybody's heard a-bout the bird ..."
the following riff isn't the same for guitar and bass:
B5 A5
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--9-------------------------------7----------------------------------|
|--9-------------------------------7----------------------------------|
|--7-------------------------------5----------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------6---7---6-----------------------4---5------------------|
|------6---9---------------9---6-------4---7-----------7---4----------|
|--7-------------------------------5----------------------------------|
"Don't you know about the bird, everybody's heard about the bird."
The third is the same as the first
one, played twice, then a E5 chord that Daniel slides down.
E5 B5 E5 B5 E5

Order:
Repeat four times these three riffs one after another, with a pause of four
beats between the first and second times for drums, then a pause of four
beats between the second and third times for singing, and finally a pause
of eight beats between the third and fourth times for drums.
