Boardwalk vacation time

Regal Lady Take my hand

Funicular down to the sand

Five cents and watch the reels spin

match up the fruits and watch what you win

Big wheel one hundred feet high

Carousel and coconut shy

Coupe de ville all of the way

100 miles in under a day

candy floss and cold root beer

it’s gotta be the time of year

Five cents and watch the reels spin

match up the fruits and watch what you win

Big wheel one hundred feet high

Carousel and coconut shy

I watched the waves crash over your head

My mind went blank I thought we were dead

Hug me at the end of the ride

Make love at the turn of the tide

I’ll do anything to make you mine

Cos this is the day n this is the time

I heard you scream n I heard you call

I feel real sick as the big dipper fall

Gotta golden Pontiac

it’s gonna drive us there and back

Regal Lady understand

let’s write our names there in the sand

Five cents and watch the reels spin

match up the fruits and watch what you win

Big wheel one hundred feet high

Carousel and coconut shy

Thank you.

Believe me, I do need this forum. Whilst it's always nice to get compliments, I also get some great constructive ideas/criticism from the guys n gals here and on the other forums. I'm still learning!!😀

Really nice. The whole feel is retro. You've captured that vintage seaside vibe alright!

I love that ending chord!

Thanks very much RDM. Yes, I rather like that end chord too!! I have absolutely no idea what it is - it's an E something! I found it by accident whilst noodling on the guitar. I ought to play jazz!! 😀

Another very infectious track, Chris! Lots of energy, solid vocals, great guitar work, and crystal clear production. My favorite lyrics were: "Coupe de ville all of the way ... 100 miles in under a day ... candy floss and cold root beer ... it’s gotta be the time of year". Good stuff all around! Nice work! 😀
