D MajorD   G+G            D MajorD         D MajorD
Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
B minorBm
Forcing the light into all those stony faces
   A augmentedA
Left stranded on this warm 4th of July
    D MajorD             G+G
Down in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers
  D MajorD
So fast so shiny so sharp
  B minorBm
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way
A augmentedA
On the boardwalk way past dark
    D MajorD             G+G
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open
  D MajorD       C#/D  B minorBm
Like Latin lovers on the shore
        A augmentedA
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score

For sleeping on the beach all night

Them boys in their high heels
        A augmentedA
Ah Sandy their skins are so white
  D MajorD                   G+G
And me I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades
D MajorD
Banging them pleasure machines
C#/D     B minorBm
Chasing them factory girls underneath the boardwalk
        A augmentedA
Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
         G+G            A augmentedA
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
   D MajorD            C#/D   B minorBm
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
     A augmentedA
But Joe kept me spinning, didn't think I'd ever get off
