[Verse]
         E                                               
Down the street you can hear her scream You're a disgrace
                             C#7         
As she slams the door in his drunken face
    D#7                  
And now he stands outside
            B7                            F#7   F#
And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool ■ 
E                               
He cries Oh girl you must be mad
G#                                            
What happened to the sweet love you and me had
G#                                          
Against the door he leans and starts a scene
        E              B7                 F#   
And his tears fall and burn on the garden green
                       C#   B           E  
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea
F#7        B7   E                                        
Eventually ■  A little Indian brave who before he was ten
                                       E             
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
       D#7                D#m            
And he built a dream that when he grew up
         E                   F#           F#7
He would be a fierce warrior Indian Chief ■  
E                                               
Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong
G#7                                            
Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song
    D#7                                            
And fight his first battle but something went wrong
E        B7                                  F#   
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
                       C#                     
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea

F#7        F#    E                                       
Eventually There was a young girl whose heart was a frown


[Verse]
                                     G#                        
'cause she was crippled for life and she couldn't speak a sound
    D#7            D#m                   B     
And she wished and prayed she could stop living
       F#            
So she decided to die
                         E                       
She drove her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
                    G#                              
And to her legs she smiled You won't hurt me no more
                 D#m         D#7                       
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
              F#                           
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
    F#                        
And it really didn't ever stop


[Outro]
                C#   
It just kept on going
       A#m                  F#7                   
And so castles made of sand ■   slips into the sea
F#7       
Eventually
B7 F#7 B7 F#7 F# F#7 B
