Cm G#
Sandy, sandy, fishnets, fishnets
G G#
Washed up on the shore,
Cm G#
What's she catching?
G G#
And will she be sore?
G G# Cm
Sandy was the prettiest of all,
G
She talked French,
G# Cm
She came from Montreal.
G G# Cm
During chores she never had to huff,
G G# Cm
Sandy caught bat all to herself.
G G# Cm
We slept in the trailer to the right,
G G# Cm
Sandy told us stories late at night.
G G#
She spoke of ships and sailors,
G Cm
And the sea so big and wide,
G G#
She had lots of uncles and was
G G# G
Always tired.
Cm G#
Sandy, sandy, fishnets, fishnets,
G G#
Washed up on the shore,
Cm G#
What's she catching?
G G#
And will she be sore?
G G# Cm
How they loved her in those early days,
G G# Cm
Mrs. Bolger let her go away,
G G# Cm
All the uncles drove her up to play,
G G# Cm
We would see them kissing on the lake.
G G# Cm
Time went by and Sandy's all grown up,
G G# Cm G
The lines of uncles dwindled and the pirates stories stopped,
G G# Cm
Then one day Melissa May showed up,
G G# Cm
And Sandy had to share a bed with us.
Cm G#
Sandy, sandy, fishnets, fishnets,
G G#
Washed up on the shore,
Cm G#
What's she catching?
G C Cm G G#
And will be soaring over the sea?
C Cm G G#
The wind in her sails and a knife in her teeth,
Cm Eb Bb
And the helm of a ship on it's way to a distant shore.
Cm Eb
The muted twilight and an uncharted island,
G# Cm
Sandy we're all getting older,
G#
What will they do with us
Cm
When they are through with us?
Eb G Cm
Sandy, what are we sailing for?
G G# Cm
Christmas morning, 1993,
G G# Cm
Presents waiting underneath the tree,
G G# Cm
There's a box for me, a box for me,
G G# Cm
No gift for poor old Sandy to be seen.
G G# Cm
We found Sandy sobbing quietly,
G G# Cm
Uncle Gerald said he liked Christine,
G G# Cm
Mrs. Bolger said she'd have to leave,
G G#
Three days later she was gone,
C Cm
The day she turned 13.
