Chords with lyrics
C minorCm G#G#
Sandy, sandy, fishnets, fishnets
G+G G#G#
Washed up on the shore,
C minorCm G#G#
What's she catching?
G+G G#G#
And will she be sore?
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Sandy was the prettiest of all,
G+G
She talked French,
G#G# C minorCm
She came from Montreal.
G+G G#G# C minorCm
During chores she never had to huff,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Sandy caught bat all to herself.
G+G G#G# C minorCm
We slept in the trailer to the right,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Sandy told us stories late at night.
G+G G#G#
She spoke of ships and sailors,
G+G C minorCm
And the sea so big and wide,
G+G G#G#
She had lots of uncles and was
G+G G#G# G+G
Always tired.
C minorCm G#G#
Sandy, sandy, fishnets, fishnets,
G+G G#G#
Washed up on the shore,
C minorCm G#G#
What's she catching?
G+G G#G#
And will she be sore?
G+G G#G# C minorCm
How they loved her in those early days,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Mrs. Bolger let her go away,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
All the uncles drove her up to play,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
We would see them kissing on the lake.
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Time went by and Sandy's all grown up,
G+G G#G# C minorCm G+G
The lines of uncles dwindled and the pirates stories stopped,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Then one day Melissa May showed up,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
And Sandy had to share a bed with us.
C minorCm G#G#
Sandy, sandy, fishnets, fishnets,
G+G G#G#
Washed up on the shore,
C minorCm G#G#
What's she catching?
G+G C majorC C minorCm G+G G#G#
And will be soaring over the sea?
C majorC C minorCm G+G G#G#
The wind in her sails and a knife in her teeth,
C minorCm Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
And the helm of a ship on it's way to a distant shore.
C minorCm Eb MajorEb
The muted twilight and an uncharted island,
G#G# C minorCm
Sandy we're all getting older,
G#G#
What will they do with us
C minorCm
When they are through with us?
Eb MajorEb G+G C minorCm
Sandy, what are we sailing for?
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Christmas morning, 1993,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Presents waiting underneath the tree,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
There's a box for me, a box for me,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
No gift for poor old Sandy to be seen.
G+G G#G# C minorCm
We found Sandy sobbing quietly,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Uncle Gerald said he liked Christine,
G+G G#G# C minorCm
Mrs. Bolger said she'd have to leave,
G+G G#G#
Three days later she was gone,
C majorC C minorCm
The day she turned 13.
