Key:CC| Capo:0fr|
IntroCFadd9CFadd9CFadd9VerseCFadd9CCG/B
Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
AmAm7
Forcing the light into all those stony faces
Gsus4G
Left stranded on this warm July
CFadd9
Down in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers
C
So fast so shiny so sharp
G/BAmAm7
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way
Gsus4G
On the boardwalk way past dark
FG
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open
CG/BAm
Like Latin lovers on the shore
Gsus4GGsus4G
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score
Chorus 1Csus4CCsus4CGsus4GGsus4G
San...dy the aurora is rising behind us
Csus4CCsus4CF
This pier lights our carnival life forever
Csus4CCsus4CGsus4GF
Oh, Love me tonight for I may never see you again, hey Sandy girl
FGCCsus4C
My, my baby
FGCFCVerseCFadd9
Now the greasers ah, they tramp the streets or get busted
CG/B
For sleeping on the beach all night
Am
Them boys in their high heels
Gsus4G
Ah Sandy their skins are so white
CFadd9
And me I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades
C
Banging them pleasure machines
G/BAm
Chasing them factory girls underneath the boardwalk
Gsus4G
Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
FG
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
CG/BAm
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
Gsus4GGsus4G
And they kept me spinning, didn't think I'd ever get off
Chorus 2Csus4CCsus4CGsus4GGsus4G
Oh, San...dy the aurora is rising behind us
Csus4CCsus4CF
This pier lights our carnival life on the water
Csus4CCsus4CGsus4G
Running, laughing 'neath the boardwalk, oh, with the boss' daughter
F
I remember Sandy girl,
GCCsus4C
Na na na na na Baby
FGCFCVerseC (Fadd9)CCC/B
Sandy that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me
Am
I spoke with her last night
Gsus4G
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/BAm
The kids say last night she was dressed like a star
In one of them cheap little seaside bars
Gsus4G
I saw her parked with lover boy out on the Kokomo
FG
D'ya hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
CG/BAm
For telling fortunes better than they do
Gsus4G
For me this boardwalk life's through, baby
Gsus4G
You ought to quit this scene too
Chorus 3Csus4CCsus4CGsus4GGsus4G
San...dy the aurora is rising behind us
