GDFCGCGCGCVerse 1F
Down the street you can hear her scream you're a disgrace
Am
As she slams the door in his drunken face
Em7
And now he stands outside
FCG
And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool
F
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
Am
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Em7
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
FCG
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
ChorusGDFC
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
Verse 2FA little Indian brave who before he was ten,
Am
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
Em7
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
FCG
He would be a fearless warrior Indian Cheif
F
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
A5Em7
Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle
FCG
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
ChorusGDFCG
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
Verse 3F
There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown
Am
Cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn't speak a sound
Em7F
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
CG
So she decided to die
F#F
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
A5
And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
Em7
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
FCG
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
GDFCG
And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...
GDCC
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually
