Drifters, Under the Boardwalk (1964)
Key: :[C#] (w: Kenny Young, Arthur Resnick)
INTRO: [*B1 x2]
VERSE 1:
Oh the
[C#] sun beats down
and melts the tar upon the
[G#] roof
And your
[G#] shoes get so hot
you wish your tired feet were fire
[C#] proof
[C#7]
PRE-CHORUS:
Under the
[F#] boardwalk, down by the
[C#] sea
On a
[C#] blanket with my baby
[G#] is where I'll
[C#] be
CHORUS:
Under the
[A#m] boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the
[G#] boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the
[A#m] boardwalk, people walking above
Under the
[G#] boardwalk, we'll be falling love
Under the
[A#m] board-
[A#m]-walk,
[A#m] board-
[A#m]-walk
BREAK: [*R1]
VERSE 2:
From a
[C#] park nearby
happy sounds from a carou-
[G#]-sel
You can
[G#] almost taste
the hotdogs and french fries they
[C#] sell
