Here are the chords to this song:
F A Bb G7 Bb-A-G7-F
Ceased to resist, given my goodbyes
F A Bb G7 Bb-A-G7-F
Drove my car into the ocean
F A Bb G7
You think I'm dead but I sail away
F A Bb F A Bb F A Bb
On a wave of mutilation wave of mutilation wave of mutilation
F Bb
Wave
F Bb
Wave
If you're playing the U.K. Surf Mix, turn to a mellow reverby setting and play
all the chords. On the _Doolittle_ version, the chords during the verse are
not played; get a bass-playin' friend to play just the roots of the chords,
or have another guitarist fake it on the bottom strings. [NOTE: I'm just
talking about the chords that go on while Francis is singing-- the four-chord
runs at the end of each line of the verse should always be played. If you've
heard the song you know what I'm talking about.]
The verse chords should all be played in an E-barre shape. For the chorus,
play the F as before, but play the A open and the Bb as an A barred up one
fret.
I'll post the little opening line of this when I can get home and figure it
out, plus the rest of the words, plus some more songs from "Doolittle".
