[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 1]
       G               D
And so castles made of sand 
            F         C
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 a dream that when he grew up
         F             C       G
He would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief
 
     F
Many moons past and more the dream grew stronger
      Am
Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song 
    Em7
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong
   F           C           G
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
 
 
[Chorus 2]
       G               D
And so castles made of sand 
               F         C
Melts into the sea, eventually
 
 
[Verse 3]
      F
There was a young girl whose heart was a frown
             Am
Cause she was crippled for life and she couldn't speak a sound
       Em7                               F      C
And she wished and prayed she could stop livin'
       G
So she decided to die
 
             F
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
    Am
And to her legs she smiled "You won't 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"
 
 
And it really didn't have to stop
 
It just kept on goin'
 
 
[Chorus 3]
       G               D
And so castles made of sand 
               F         C
Slips into the sea, eventually
