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

San...dy the aurora is rising behind  us 
     Csus4 C          Csus4    C       F 
This pier  lights our carnival life forever

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

Oh, San...dy the aurora is rising behind  us 
     Csus4 C          Csus4    C           F 
This pier  lights our carnival life on the water

Running, laughing 'neath the boardwalk, oh, with the boss' daughter

                 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

For telling fortunes better than they do 
Gsus4                 G
