Ok my first response was too glib. The question of surf chord
progressions is actually an interesting one since some of them are
quite distinctive...
obviously there's
Im / Im / IVm / Im / V7 / IVm / Im / Im
used in songs like Pipeline
and
IV / IIIb / IIb / I (usually with some VIIbm and V7 thrown in)
as used in Walk Don't Run...
next?

I was typing a response to this, smartassing on how you got the other
song wrong as well, and then it certainly hit me, what are you guys
actually talking about, fretboard positions or harmonic functions
(sorry dont know the english word, you know what i mean right?)
WR - getting confused
(btw, i just got squeezed a great condeser-mic out of my in-laws, as
a birthday present. made my day. my bday was in february, and they've
kept insisting on buying me something ever since. hahaha)

Sometimes roman numerals do refer to fretboard positions but in this case they
are refering to chords as a function of scale tones so yes, they are a sort of
musical harmonic function.
