[F] Down the street you can hear her scream, you hear her disgrace, [D] and she slams the door
[Am] in his front [Em] face.
And now he [E] stands outside, and all the [F] neighbors [C] start to gossip [G] and
[Gm] drool.
[G]
He [F] cries, oh girl you must be mad, [A] what happened to the sweet love [Em] you and me
had?
Against the door he leans and starts to sing, and [F] his tears [C] fall and burn his [G] garden
green.
And so [D] castles made of sand [C] fall in the [Fm] sea, [G]
eventually.
[Bb] [C] [Eb] [F] A little Indian brave, who before he was dead, [D] played [Am] war games in the woods with his Indian
friends.
[E] And he built a dream, that when he grew up he would [F] be a [C] fearless [G] warrior in
the Indian scene.
[F] Many moons passed, and more than anything grew stronger [A] till the morn.
He would sing his first war [Em] song, and fight his first battle, and something went [Fm] wrong.
[C] Surprised Pat, [G] killed him in his sleep that night.
And so [D] castles made of [G] sand, melt [C] into
the sea, [Gm]
eventually.

[F] Girl was a young girl who was hurt with [A] a problem, cause she was crippled for life,
cause she couldn't speak a [E] sound, and she wished and [Em] prayed she could [F] stop living, [C]
[G] since
she decided to die.
[Gb] She [F] drew a wheelchair to the edge of the shore, and to [Am] her legs
she smiled, you won't hurt me no more.
[E] But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump
and [F] say, look a [C] golden [G] winged ship is passing my way.
And it really didn't stop, it just
kept on going.
[D] And so castles [A] [C] made of sand, [Bbm] [F] [C] flip [Bb] into the sea.
