Drifters, Under the Boardwalk (1964)
Key: :[Ab] (w: Kenny Young, Arthur Resnick)
INTRO: [*B1 x2]
VERSE 1:
Oh the
[Ab] sun beats down
and melts the tar upon the
[Eb] roof
And your
[Eb] shoes get so hot
you wish your tired feet were fire
[Ab] proof
[Ab7]
PRE-CHORUS:
Under the
[Db] boardwalk, down by the
[Ab] sea
On a
[Ab] blanket with my baby
[Eb] is where I'll
[Ab] be
CHORUS:
Under the
[Fm] boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the
[Eb] boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the
[Fm] boardwalk, people walking above
Under the
[Eb] boardwalk, we'll be falling love
Under the
[Fm] board-
[Fm]-walk,
[Fm] board-
[Fm]-walk
BREAK: [*R1]
VERSE 2:
From a
[Ab] park nearby
happy sounds from a carou-
[Eb]-sel
You can
[Eb] almost taste
the hotdogs and french fries they
[Ab] sell
