F#

[Verse 1]
         E
Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
       G#m
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
    D#m7                              E
And now he stands outside and all the neighbors start to
B          F#
gossip and drool.
   E
He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
     G#m
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
 D#m7
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
          E            B        F#
And his tears fall and burn the garden green.

[Chorus]
       A#m7                       G#m7
And so castles made of sand, fall in  the sea,
 F#
eventually.

[Verse 2]
         E
A little Indian brave who before he was ten,
       G#m
played war games in
the woods with his Indian friends,
       D#m7
and he built a dream that when he
grew up,
         E             B       F#
he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.
     E
Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong,
        G#m
until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song,
    D#m7
And fight his first battle,
but something went wrong,
   E           B       F#
surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

[Chorus]
       A#m7
And so castles made of sand,
     G#m7              F#
melts    into the sea eventually.

[Verse 3]
F#      E
  There was a young girl,
whose heart was a frown,
        G#m
Because she was crippled for life,
and couldn't speak a sound
       D#m7                                 E
And she    wished and prayed she would stop living,
B         F#
 so she decided to die.
         E
She drew wheel chair to the edge of the shore,
      G#m
and to   her legs she smiled
"You won't hurt me no more."
    D#m7
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
E
 "Look,
  B             F#
a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop it just kept on going.

[Chorus]
A#m7              G#m7            F#
    And so castles    made of sand  slips into the sea,
Eventually
