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