OUTRO:
Notes:
At the end of the OUTRO, the sung chorus runs through the band-members' names
i.e. "Bun-E's/Tom's/Robin's/Rick's all right" etc.
And then "we're all all right".

   C                      G                            F              C
Surrender,             surrender,            but don't give yourself away,
  (Mummy's all right)    (Daddy's all right)
