Intro: D Em A D 

D 
The sun’s dropping out of the picture 
A 
Soon be time to move 

It hasn’t been a real big day 
G                           D 
But I don’t have a thing to prove 
D 
I’ve still got the old nose rider 
A 
I still surf old style 

I’ll go out beyond the breakers 
G                    D 
Sit alone and rest a while 


G                    A 
There’s nothing that I wanna do 
G                      A 
No place I’m trying to reach 
     D                G 
Only time is now more precious to 
           A             G 
The oldest surfer on the beach 
           A             D 
The oldest surfer on the beach 

D                
I stopped searching for perfection 
A 
Many waves ago 

What really matters is the here and now 
G                      D 
And that’s about all I know 
D 
Gonna catch me a big ’ole roller 
A 
Sun setting on the sea 

Riding in on her glassy shoulder 
G                         D 
The water going grey like me 


G                    A 
There’s nothing that I wanna do 
G                      A 
No place I’m trying to reach 
     D                G 
Only time is now more precious to 
           A             G 
The oldest surfer on the beach 
           A             D
