Verse 1

Cease to resist, giving my goodbye    
Drive my car into the ocean    
You think I'm dead but I sail away 

Hook

On a wave of mutilation, wave of mutilation, wave of mutilation

Verse 2

I've kissed mermaids, rode the El Niño    
Walked the sand with the crustaceans   
Could find my way to Mariana

Notes:
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 three chord
runs at the end of each line of the verse should always be played.)
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.
