♫ Verse :
D      G                       D                 D
Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
Bm
Forcing the light into all those stony faces
     A
Left stranded on this warm 4th of July
        D                          G
Down in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers
   D
So fast so shiny so sharp
   Bm
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way
A

On the boardwalk way past dark
       D                          G
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open
    D              C#/D    Bm
Like Latin lovers on the shore
                A
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score

♫ Chorus 1:
D                          A
San  dy the aurora is rising behind  us
     D                           G
This pier  lights our carnival life forever
    D                      A                               G
Oh
Love me tonight for I may never see you again, hey Sandy girl
       D
    My, my baby




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

♫ Chorus 2:
    D                           A
Oh
San  dy the aurora is rising behind  us
     D                                  G
This pier  lights our carnival life on the water
    D                      A                               G
Oh
Love me tonight for I may never see you again, hey Sandy girl
                 G
I remember Sandy girl
G              D
Na na na na na Baby




♫ 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
