It might be hard to find now and I don't remember if it had that song in it, but it was awfully fun to play along with the other tracks. https://davecelentano.com/music-product/surf-guitar/ — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

I know of no tabs for this song - but it seems fairly straightforward. — "You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" Top

I'm going to go ahead and throw out some instruction for the part that starts at 0:38 (would this be called a B section?) It's that common andalusion cadence found in so many songs. It goes B major - A major - Gmajor - Gb major. Play them all using the F form chord shape. The first through the cycle starts with a little major third to root thingy--just find the notes within those chords--and the second pass is more of a full arpeggio of each chord, just plucking through that F chord shape for each chord of the sequence.
