[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

 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
                     F

Sha la la la la baby
