I know theres no good tab for across the sea,
 so this for everyone whos wanted to play it!
The only person who should get credit 
for this tab is the great Rivers Cuomo who wrote this beast of a song! so enjoy!
I kno its long and confusing, i tried to show rythm a little bit, but hopefully it helps

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture randy Professional	#1 by randy taylor at Jan 31, 1972 at 4:26 AM EST
	I think these lyrics are incorrect. "on an island to find the juice"... that's wrong up there, isn't it? Dream, not juice. Anyway, it's an awesome song, and a great album. Too bad Rivers doesn't wasnt to play off of it anymore. Now we have to brace ourselves for more pop songs.

No Picture everett Wanna Be	#2 by everett at Jun 18, 1972 at 6:27 PM EST
	this song is truly one of the greatest pieces of art by Weezer, certainly my favorite of all their songs. I can totally relate to the phrase, "i need help and you're way across the sea." If you havent heard this song, be sure to check it out.....oh yeah....and Surf Wax America is the only Weezer song that sucks.

	How can you not like Surf Wax America? HOW? Anyway, I agree with thisboy on this song, but not the part in brackets!

	well to be honest i always thought that maladroit was something like "a pain in my finger"- after droit being digit/finger in french, and mal being like sick or something. well i don't know i'm probably wrong, but i just wanted to put my two cents in, in anycase. if someone gives you a penny for your thoughts and then you put in your two cents worth in, what happens to the change? send it to me $$$ (please) xxx Lou

	You are very right Glrius. Pinkerton is the best Weezer cd. Depressed people sure do write good music. And, Stabone4 is right by saying, "Now we have to brace ourselves for more pop songs." Because The Green CD is full of stupid and horrible pop songs. Why won't Rivers play off Pinkerton anymore??? It boggles the mind. Hopefully they are not trying to embrace the world of pop music. If they do, their music will only get worse and worse.

	skilzano is right. I heard maladroit(means "clumsy" in french) after a friend downloaded it off Morpheous or something and it sucked pretty bad. Theres only two songs on there I would even consider listening to more than once. I think Rivers has traded his personal touch of neurotic and clever songs for more standard, less emotional songs. I mean, if you compare Pinkerton to the Green album, they sound like two totally different bands. I don't know Rivers, but I think that the commercial disaster of Pinkerton made him paranoid about exposing himself to his audience and now he just hides behind bland and shallow music like that of the Green album and Maladroit.

	I dig this song, as I dig everything Weezer's done (except Surwax America maybe...No, I'd sing it if it was on right now) but this is one of the songs I can't really relate to. I'm not the lead singer of a huge band that has a fan base in Asia. But it's still catchy as all hell.
