Cheap Trick - Surrender
Surrender*: Cheap Trick CAPO II
A7-sus4/G A (repeat 4x)
VERSE 1
A E D A
Mother told me, yes she told me, I'd meet girls like you.
E D A
She also told me, stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch
D E A
Just the other day I heard of a soldier's falling off
D E A
Some Indonesian junk that's going 'round
CHORUS
A F#m7 Esus4 D
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
A F#m7 Esus4 D
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay
A7-sus4/G A (repeat 2x)
VERSE 2
Father says your mother's right, she's really up on things.
Before we married, mommy served in the WACs in the Philippines.
Now I had heard the WACs recruited old maids for the war
But mom isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
CHORUS
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay
VERSE 3
Whatever happened to all this season's loosers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking 'Where'd they disappear?'
Then I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
CHORUS
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay
