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

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

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

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
