Hey! Sandy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Hey Sandy, hey[D] Sandy,
[C]why were you the [G]one?
All the years of grow[D]ing up
are [C]wasted [G]now and gone
Did [D]you see them turn,
did you feel the burn of the bullets as they flew?
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?
Hey Sandy, [D]hey Sandy,
[C]just what did you do?
[G]

[Verse 2]
Well the [Am]sun was hot and the air was heavy
[A]as the marching men came [Am]by
And you [G]ran to the door to watch them pass
and you asked the soldiers "Why?"
And the [Am]sound of the steel and the
[A]blackboot's heel was pounding in your head
[Am]And your freed[G]om's past,
they have come at last with the [D]blessings of the dead

[Verse 3]
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]why were you [G]the one?
All the years [D]of growing up are
[C]wasted now and [G]gone
Did you [D]see them turn,
did you feel the burn of the bullets as they flew?
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?
Hey Sandy, [D]hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?

[Verse 4]
[G]
In the [Am]col lege square they were standing
there with the flag and with the drum
And the [G]whispered word as the young ones stirred
was "Now at last they've come"
And the [Am]air was still with the lonely
thrill of now the hour is near
And the [G]smell of sweat was better yet
than the [D]aw ful stench of fear
[G]Hey Sandy,

[Verse 5]
[D]hey Sandy,
[C]why were you the [G]one?
All the years [D]of growing up are
[C]wasted now and [G]gone
Did you [D]see them turn,
did you feel the burn of the bullets as they flew?
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?
Hey Sandy, [D]hey Sandy,
[C]just what did you do?
[G]

[Verse 6]
Through the [Am]air the shout as you all ran out
was "Why are these things done?"
And you [G]stood and you stared but no one
cared for another campus bum
And your [Am]songs were dead and the hymns
instead were to the burning pyre
And the [G]words of youth,
like love and truth, just [D]ashes in the fire

[Verse 7]
[G]Hey[D] Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]why were you [G]the one?
All the years of grow[D]ing up are
[C]wasted now and [G]gone
Did you [D]see them turn,
did you feel the burn of the bullets as they flew?
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?
Hey Sandy, [D]hey Sandy,
[C]just what did you do?
[G]

[Verse 8]
Did you throw [D]the stone at the men [Am]alone
with their bayonets [D]fixed for hire?
[C]Did you dou[G]bt that they would, say no one could,
did you scream when they opened fire?
As the [Am]square ran red and your bloodstain spread
and the darkness 'round you grew
Through the [G]fear and the pain did you call
the name [D]of the man you never knew?

[Verse 9]
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]why were you [G]the one?
All the years [D]of growing up are
[C]wasted now and [G]gone
Did you [D]see them turn,
did you feel the burn of the bullets as they flew?
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?
Did you [D]see them turn,
did you feel the burn of the bullets as they flew?
[G]Hey [D]Sandy, hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?
Hey Sandy, [D]hey Sandy,
[C]just what did [G]you do?
[D][G]
