Verse 1
G 
C 
D 
G 
She was tall and tan,
C 
and any man would give
Am 
his heart to her
D 
And I gave her mine in the summertime,
but it never did return
G 
She came to me one night
C 
just like a pearl from out the sea
Am 
D 
And disappear like a summer breeze
G 
Leaving just a memory
C 
But I've got sand in my pocket
G 
Holding a seashell to my ear
D 
And that word, I love you forever
G 
Is the song that I still hear
C 
Oh, I've got sand in my pocket
G 
And a teardrop in my eye
D 
Gee, it's been a short while
G 
C 
D 
Gee, it's been a long, time
G 
Walkin' along the boardwalk
C 
Am 
Winnin' a kiss or two
D 
Holdin' hands and makin' plans
G 
To last a lifetime through
Among the clouds of cotton and candy
C 
Am 
I saw the golden ring
D 
And the wheel spins off,
but your love is gone
G 
Oh, I lost everything
C 
Yeah, but I got sand in my pocket
G 
Holding a seashell to my ear
D 
And the words, I love you forever
G 
Is all that I still hear
C 
Oh, I've got sand in my coffin,
G 
and a teardrop in my eye
D 
My tears have been a
short forever,
and jail's been a long goodbye
G 
C 
I've still got sand in my coffin,
G 
only the seashells remind me
D 
And I would, I'd love you forever,
G 
but that's all that I can give
Oh, I'm afraid of my heart
