[Verse 1]
F
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
F C G
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,
F C G
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
[Chorus]
G D F C
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
[Verse 2]
F
A 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
F C G
He would be a fearless warrior Indian Cheif
F
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
A5 Em7
Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle
F C G
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
[Chorus]
G D F C G
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
[Verse 3]
F
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
Em7 F
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
C G
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
F C G
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
G D F C G
And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...
G D C C
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually
