[Intro]G D F C G C G C G C[Verse]FDown the street you can hear her scream you're a disgraceAmAs she slams the door in his drunken faceEm7And now he stands outsideF C GAnd all the neighbors start to gossip and drool[Verse]FHe cries oh, girl you must be mad,AmWhat happened to the sweet love you and me had?Em7Against the door he leans and starts a scene,F C GAnd his tears fall and burn the garden green[Chorus]G D F CAnd so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually[Verse]FA little Indian brave who before he was ten,AmPlayed war games in the woods with his Indian friendsEm7And he built up a dream that when he grew upF C GHe would be a fearless warrior Indian Cheif[Verse]FMany moons past and more the dream grew strong untilAm Em7Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battleF C GBut something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night[Chorus]G D F C GAnd so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually[Tab]e|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------3-|b|---------------------------------------|-------3------------------------3-6---|

[Verse]FThere was a young girl, who's heart was a frownAmCause she was crippled for life, And she couldn't speak a soundEm7 FAnd she wished and prayed she could stop living,C GSo she decided to die[Verse]F# FShe drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shoreA5And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no moreEm7But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and sayF C GLook a golden winged ship is passing my wayG D F C GAnd it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...[Chorus]G D C CAnd so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually
