[Verse]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse]
C (Fadd9) 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
[Chorus 3]
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
