Drifters, Under the Boardwalk (1964)
Key: :[B] (w: Kenny Young, Arthur Resnick)
INTRO: [*B1 x2]
VERSE 1:
Oh the
[B] sun beats down
and melts the tar upon the
[F#] roof
And your
[F#] shoes get so hot
you wish your tired feet were fire
[B] proof
[B7]
PRE-CHORUS:
Under the
[E] boardwalk, down by the
[B] sea
On a
[B] blanket with my baby
[F#] is where I'll
[B] be
CHORUS:
Under the
[G#m] boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the
[F#] boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the
[G#m] boardwalk, people walking above
Under the
[F#] boardwalk, we'll be falling love
Under the
[G#m] board-
[G#m]-walk,
[G#m] board-
[G#m]-walk
BREAK: [*R1]
VERSE 2:
From a
[B] park nearby
happy sounds from a carou-
[F#]-sel
You can
[F#] almost taste
the hotdogs and french fries they
[B] sell
