INTRO: [*B1 x2]

VERSE 1:
Oh the [E] sun beats down
and melts the tar upon the [B] roof
And your [B] shoes get so hot
you wish your tired feet were fire [E] proof [E7]

PRE-CHORUS:
Under the [A] boardwalk, down by the [E] sea
On a [E] blanket with my baby [B] is where I'll [E] be

CHORUS:
Under the [C#m] boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the [B] boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the [C#m] boardwalk, people walking above
Under the [B] boardwalk, we'll be falling love
Under the [C#m] board-[C#m]-walk, [C#m] board-[C#m]-walk

BREAK: [*R1]

VERSE 2:
From a [E] park nearby
happy sounds from a carou-[B]-sel
You can [B] almost taste
the hotdogs and french fries they [E] sell
