INTRO: [*B1 x2]
VERSE 1:
Oh the
[A] sun beats down
and melts the tar upon the

And your
[E] shoes get so hot
you wish your tired feet were fire
[A] proof
[A7]
PRE-CHORUS:
Under the
[D] boardwalk, down by the
[A] sea
On a
[A] blanket with my baby
[E] is where I'll
[A] be
CHORUS:
Under the
[F#m] boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the
[E] boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the
[F#m] boardwalk, people walking above
Under the
[E] boardwalk, we'll be falling love
Under the
[F#m] board-
[F#m]-walk,
[F#m] board-
[F#m]-walk
BREAK: [*R1]
VERSE 2:
From a
[A] park nearby
happy sounds from a carou-
[E]-sel
You can
[E] almost taste
the hotdogs and french fries they
[A] sell
