[F] [C]
[C] [A] [C] Sandy, the [F] fireworks are hailing [C] over Little Eden tonight
[G] [Am] Forcing a light into all those stony faces [G] left stranded on this warm July
[C] Down in time the circuits of [F] a switch played [C] lovers so fast, so shiny, so sharp
[G] [Am] As the wizards played down on pinball way [G] on the boardwalk way past dawn
And [F] the boys from the casino [G] danced with their shirts open like Latin lovers on the [Am] shore
[G] Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score
[C] Oh Sandy, [C] the aurora is rising [G] [G] behind us
[F] This be [C] a light, [F] a [C] carnival light forever
Oh love me tonight, for I may [G] never see you [G]
again
Hey Sandy [F] girl, [G]
my [C] my baby
[F] [G]
[C]
Now the greasers, oh they [F] tramp the streets
Or get busted [C] for sleeping on the beach all night
[G] [Am] Them boys in their high heels, oh Sandy, [G] their skins are so white
[C] And me, I just got tired of [F] hanging in them dusty [C] arcades
Banging them pleasure machines
[G] [Am] Chasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalk
Where [G] they all promised on snapper jeans
And you [F] know that tilt the world down [G] on the South Beach drag
I [C] got on it last night and my shirt [Am] got caught
[G] And it kept me spinning, didn't [A] think I'd ever get [G] off
[A] Oh Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
[Dm] This be [C] a light, [F] a [C] carnival light forever
Running left beneath the [C] boardwalk, oh it just washes [G] dark
I [Em] remember Sandy [F] girl, [G]
my my my [C] my my baby
[F] [G]
[C]
Sandy, that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me
I [G] [Am] spoke with her last night, she said she won't set herself on [G] fire for me anymore
She worked [C] that joint under the boardwalk
She [F] was always the girl you saw bobbing [C] down the beach with the radio
The kids [G] say last night [Am] she was dressed like a star in one of them cheap little seaside bars
And I [G] saw her part with Level Boy out on the Coca-Mole
Did you [F] hear the cops finally busted [G] Madame Marie
For [C] telling fortunes [G] better than [Am] they do
For [G] me this [G] boardwalk life's through, baby
You oughta quit this scene too
[C] [C] Sandy, the aurora is rising [A] [G] behind us
This [C] be a light, [Dm] a [C] carnival light [F] forever
[Dm] Oh [C] love me tonight and I promise I'll love you [G] forever
Oh I mean it [F] Sandy girl, [G] my my my my my [C] baby
Yeah I promise Sandy girl, [G] sha la la la [C] la la baby
[F] [G] [N]
