C      Fadd9                       C                 C  G/B 
Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight 
Am                  Am7 
Forcing the light into all those stony faces  
     Gsus4                 G 
Left stranded on this warm July 

        C                          Fadd9 
Down in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers  
   C 
So fast so shiny so sharp 
G/B    Am                    Am7 
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way  
Gsus4                     G 

On the boardwalk way past dark 

        F                          G 
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open  
    C              G/B    Am 
Like Latin lovers on the shore 
                Gsus4           G                   Gsus4  G 
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score 

  
Csus4 C        Csus4   C        Gsus4 G  Gsus4  G 
San...dy the aurora is rising behind  us 
     Csus4 C          Csus4    C       F 
This pier  lights our carnival life forever 
    Csus4     C       Csus4 C   Gsus4          G                  F 
Oh, Love me tonight for I   may never see you again, hey Sandy girl 
F  G       C   Csus4  C 
    My, my baby 


F  G  C  F  C 

        C                 Fadd9 
Now the greasers ah, they tramp the streets or get busted  
    C                              G/B 
For sleeping on the beach all night 
     Am 
Them boys in their high heels  
               Gsus4             G 
Ah Sandy their skins are so white 

    C                                      Fadd9 
And me I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades  
C 
Banging them pleasure machines 
G/B          Am 
Chasing them factory girls underneath the boardwalk  
               Gsus4                   G 
Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans 

                  F                        G 
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag 
      C                       G/B       Am 
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught 
         Gsus4           G        Gsus4                 G 
And they kept me spinning, didn't think I'd ever get off 



    Csus4 C        Csus4   C        Gsus4 G  Gsus4  G 
Oh, San...dy the aurora is rising behind  us 
     Csus4 C          Csus4    C           F 
This pier  lights our carnival life on the water 

         Csus4               C              Csus4    C             Gsus4  G 

Running, laughing 'neath the boardwalk, oh, with the boss' daughter 

                 F 
I remember Sandy girl,  
G              C   Csus4  C 
Na na na na na Baby 


F  G  C  F  C 


 C            F9                           C             C  C/B 
Sandy that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me 
  Am 
I spoke with her last night   
                                 Gsus4          G 
She said she wont set herself on fire for me anymore 

              C 
She work that joint under the boardwalk 
        Fadd9 
She was always the girl you saw  
                 C 
Bopping down the beach with the radio 
             G/B                Am 
The kids say last night she was dressed like a star 

In one of them cheap little seaside bars 
                      Gsus4                    G 
I saw her parked with lover boy out on the Kokomo 

              F                            G 
D'ya hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie  
            C        G/B              Am 
For telling fortunes better than they do 
Gsus4                 G 
For me this boardwalk life's through, baby 
Gsus4                        G 
You ought to quit this scene too 


Csus4 C        Csus4   C        Gsus4 G  Gsus4  G 
San...dy the aurora is rising behind  us 
     Csus4 C          Csus4    C       F 
This pier  lights our carnival life forever 
   Csus4     C           Csus4        C           Gsus4  G  Gsus4 
Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever 

     G             F 
Oh I mean it Sandy girl 
G              C   Csus4  C 
My my my my my baby 
                     F 
Yeah I promise Sandy girl 
G               C   F  C 
Sha la la la la baby
