UNDER THE BOARDWALK – Guitar Lesson

Some songs and their lyrics drip with nostalgia! Images of the beach, a blanket and being with your baby are simply irresistible. Here's The Drifters'  classic … your Under The Boardwalk guitar lesson!

 

intro G
     G    D
verse1   Oh the s    un beats down and melts the tar upon the r    oof
     D    G    G7
         And your s    hoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-p    roof      
     C    G
         Under the b    oardwalk, down by the     sea
     G    D    G
         On a b    lanket with my baby       is where I'll     be
verse2 From a park nearby happy sounds from a carousel
You can almost taste the hotdogs and french fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
     Em
bridge   Under the b    oardwalk, out of the sun
     D
         Under the b    oardwalk, we'll be having some fun
     Em
         Under the b    oardwalk, people walking above
     D
         Under the b    oardwalk, we'll be falling love
     Em    Em    Em    Em
         Under the b    oard-    walk,     board    -walk

I LOVE SONGMENTOR ! YOU ARE A WONDERFUL TEACHER & I'M GLAD I SIGNED UP. I REMEMBER THIS SONG. I THINK CLYDE MCPHATTER SANG IT & HE WAS FROM EDMONTON , I THINK & SANG WITH THE DRIFTERS & ANOTHER GROUP. THEY USED TO PLAY SOMETHING THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BRISTLES ON A PLASTIC COMB BUT IT WAS COOL ! GREAT LESSONS . I CAN PLAY THE INTRO TO EL PASO ALREADY ! HAVE TO WORK ON MY STRUMMING BUT IT'S COMING ALONG.YOU ARE THE COOLEST !!!!
