[Chorus]
CmSandy, (sandy), Abfishnets, (fishnets)
GWashed up on the Abshore,
CmWhat's she, (what's she), Abcatching, (catching)?
GAnd will she be Absore?
[Verse]
GSandy was the Abprettiest of Cmall,
GShe talked French,
She Abcame from MontreCmal.
GDuring chores she Abnever had to Cmhelp,
GSandy got a Abbed all to herCmself.
GWe slept in the Abtrailer to the Cmright,
GSandy told us Abstories late at Cmnight.
She Gspoke of ships and Absailors,
And a Gsea so big and Cmwide,
GShe had lots of Abuncles and was
GAl-Abways Gtired.
[Chorus]
CmSandy, (sandy), Abfishnets, (fishnets)
GWashed up on the Abshore,
CmWhat's she, (what's she), Abcatching, (catching)?
GAnd will she be Absore?
[Verse]
GHow they loved her Abin those early Cmdays,
GMrs. Bolger Ablet her go aCmway,
GAll her uncles Abdrove her off to Cmplay,
GWe would see them Abkissing on the Cmlake.
GTime went by and AbSandy's all grown Cmup,
The Glines of uncles Abdwindled and the Cmpirate stories Gstopped,
GThen one day MeAblissa May showed Cmup,
And GSandy had to Abshare a bed with Cmus.
[Chorus]
CmSandy, (sandy), Abfishnets, (fishnets)
GWashed up on the Abshore,
CmWhat's she, (what's she), Abcatching, (catching)?
GAnd will she be
[Bridge]
AbSoaring Cmover the sea?
With the Gwind in her sails and a Abknife in her teeth,
At the Cmhelm of a ship on its Abway to a distant Ebshore.G  
BerCmmuda and Thailand, an Abuncharted island,
EbSandy we're all getting Abolder,Fm  
CmWhat will they do with us
AbWhen they are through with us?
EbSandy, Gwhat are we sailing Cmfor?
[Verse]
GChristmas morning, Ab199Cm3,
GPresents waiting Abunderneath the Cmtree,
GThere's a box for Abme, (a box for Cmme),
No Ggift for poor old AbSandy to be Cmseen.
GWe found Sandy Absobbing quietCmly,
GUncle Gerald Absaid he liked ChrisCmtine,
GMrs. Bolger Absaid she'd have to Cmleave,
GThree days later Abshe was gone,
The Cday she turned 1Cm3.
