C      F                                 C           Csus4  C  C/B
Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
Am
Forcing the light into all those stony faces 
     Gsus4                 G
Left stranded on this warm July
        C                          F
Down in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers 
   C
So fast so shiny so sharp
C/B    Am
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                    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               
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


                          F
Now the greasers ah, they tramp the streets or get busted 
    C                              C/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                                      F
And me I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades 
C
Banging them pleasure machines
C/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                       C/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
F  G  C  F  C


           F                                C           Csus4  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
        F
She was always the girl you saw 
                 C
Bopping down the beach with the radio
             C/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        C/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:
