[Intro]
Boardwalk (i wanna take you girl under the)
Boardwalk (i'm gonna take you girl under the)
Boardwalk (i wanna take you girl under the)
Boardwalk

[Verse 1]
Ah when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And the street's so hot you're hoping this whole town is fireproof

[Chorus]
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea (oh yeah)
I'm on a blanket with my baby
That's where i'll be

[Verse 2]
And when the sun goes down
We'll take a walk along the strand
And as the tide goes out
We'll write "i love you" right there in the sand

[Chorus]
Oh i want to go
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea (oh yeah)
I'm on a blanket with my baby
That's where i'll be

Under the boardwalk
Under the boardwalk

[Chorus]
Oh oh ohhhh
Under the boardwalk (yeah)
Down by the sea (oh yeah)
I'm on a blanket with my baby
That's where i'll be

[Verse 3]
And when the moon is out
And it's finally cooling down
Don't have to look too far
Because my girl and i just might be found

[Chorus]
Oh oh ohhhh
Under the boardwalk (yeah)
Down by the sea (oh yeah)
On a blanket with my baby
That's where i'll be
Ooo i'm on a blanket with my pretty baby
Just you and me

[Outro]
Boardwalk (i wanna take you girl under the)
Boardwalk (i'm gonna take you girl under the) [x2]
Boardwalk (i wanna take you girl under)

The Beach Boys are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time and the first American pop band to reach the 50-year milestone. Their vocal harmonies are among the most unmistakable and enduring of the rock and roll era.

Formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California, by Brian Wilson, his two brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and classmate Al Jardine, the group’s first single “Surfin'” got them signed to Capitol Records and they quickly became one of the most popular and successful artists of the surf music craze of the 1960s. From 1962 to 1966, The Beach Boys scored over twenty top 40 hits in the US including the chart-toppers “I Get Around”, “Help Me Rhonda” & “Good Vibrations” along with the top 5’s “Surfin USA”, “Fun, Fun, Fun”, “California Girls”, “Barbara Ann” & “Sloop John B”. Several of the band’s singles also found top 40 success in Canada, Australia, Sweden and the UK. In 1965, de facto leader Brian Wilson suffered a mental breakdown due to the stress of writing, producing & touring combined with substance abuse issues, causing him to step down and stop traveling with the band on tour.

Inspired by producer Phil Spector and The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Brian focused on studio work, determined to keep the group relevant as the surf music scene was fading with their 1966 album Pet Sounds. Despite tension between members in the studio about this new direction, lack of faith from the record label, mixed reviews, and comparatively lukewarm reception initially in the US, the album still found massive success in the UK and earned accolades from fellow artists including The Beatles, who acknowledged that the album was their inspiration to further push the boundaries of pop music with their landmark album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Eventually Pet Sounds would be acknowledged as one of the greatest albums ever recorded by several media outlets like The Times, Mojo Magazine, The Guardian, VH1, BBC and Rolling Stone.
