Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
Am                  Am7
Forcing the light into all those stony faces
      G4                 G
Left stranded on this warm July

        C                           F9
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
  G4                      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
                 G4             G                   G4  G
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score

San...dy the aurora is rising behind  us
     C4    C          C4       C       F
This pier  lights our carnival life forever
    C4       C         C4 C   G4              G                  F
Oh, Love me tonight for I  may never see you again, hey Sandy girl
F  G       C   C4  C
    My, my baby

( F  G  C  F  C )

        C                 F9
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
               G4              G
Ah Sandy their skins are so white
    C                                      F9
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
               G4                     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
         G4              G        G4                   G
And they kept me spinning, didn't think I'd ever get off

San...dy the aurora is rising behind  us
      C4     C            C4        C       F
This pier  lights our carnival life on the water
         C4                 C             C4    C            G4  G
Running, laughing 'neath the boardwalk, oh, with the boss' daughter
                 F
I remember Sandy girl,
G              C   C4  C
Na na na na na Baby

Sandy that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me
  Am
I spoke with her last night
                                 G4             G
She said she wont set herself on fire for me anymore
              C
She work that joint under the boardwalk
        F9
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
                      G4                      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
G4                    G
For me this boardwalk life's through, baby
G4                           G
You ought to quit this scene too
