[Intro]
 
 
C FDown the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
GmAs she slams the door in his drunken face,
Gm7 F F? CAnd now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool.
 
C FHe cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
GmWhat happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Gm7Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
F F? CAnd his tears fall and burn the garden green.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C FA little Indian brave who before he was ten,
Gmplayed war games in the woods with his Indian friends,
Gm7and he built a dream that when he grew up,
F C? Che would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.
 
C FMany moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow
GmHe would sing his first war song,
Gm7And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
F F? CSuprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
 
 
[Chorus]
 
And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C FThere was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
GmBecause she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound
Gm7And she wished and prayed she would stop
F F? Cliving,so she decided to die.
 
C FShe drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore,
Gmand to her legs she smiled: "You won't hurt me no more."
Gm7But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY
F F? C"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
 
And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea,
Eventually
 
 
[Outro]
