 C      F                          C
Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little
            C  G 
Eden tonight
Am                Am7
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
 G      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      Am
Like Latin lovers on the shore
                Gsus4            G
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by
          Gsus4  G
the score

Chorus:
Csus4 C      Csus4   C       Gsus4 G  Gsus4 G
Sandy 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
           F
hey Sandy girl
F G      C  Csus4  C
 My, my baby

Now, the greasers, ah, they tramp the streets
Or get busted for sleeping on the beach all night
Them boys in their high heels, ah, Sandy
Their skins are so white
And me, I just got tired of hanging in them
dusty arcades, banging them pleasure machines
Chasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalk
Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the
south beach drag
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And they kept me spinning, babe, didn't
think I'd ever get off

Chorus:
Oh, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
This pier lights our carnival life on the water
Running, laughing 'neath the boardwalk
Ah, with the boss' daughter
I remember, Sandy, girl
Na, na, na, na, na, baby

Sandy, that waitress I was seeing lost
her desire for me
I spoke with her last night, she said
she won't set herself on fire for me anymore
She worked that joint under the boardwalk
She was always the girl you saw bopping down
the beach with the radio
The kids say last night she was dressed like
a star
In one of them cheap little seaside bars
And I saw her parked with lover boy out on
the Kokomo
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For tellin' fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk life's through, babe
You ought to quit this scene, too

Chorus:
Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
This pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight and I promise
I'll love you forever
Oh, I mean it, Sandy, girl
My, my, my, my, my baby
Yeah, I promise, Sandy, girl
Sha, la, la, la, la, baby
