Oldest Surfer on the Beach by Jimmy Buffett 
       DEmAD
Intro:    
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
The oldest surfer on the beach
