Verse
B
Well, I walked along and I felt like pretending
B
The earth stopped moving and nothing was ending
G#m
I saw the beggar boys in different places
G#m
They wore dirty rags and filthy faces
B
I told them 'hello' and they came and they followed
B
I gave them my bread and they chewed and the swallowed
G#m
And they picked me up and took my hand
G#m
And I never felt like a better man
[Chorus]
F#
Well, love was just a dream
E B
You know I never got no sleep
F# E B
Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
[Verse 2]
B
Well, we talked all night and I felt very tired
B
So I laid down and I looked at the fire
G#m
And I thought about nothing at all
G#m
And then in the morning I was up at dawn
B
We talked to the people who wanted to hide us
B
Nothing they said then could ever divide us
G#m
And I pulled out everything I know
G#m
And I never ever went back home
[Chorus]
F#
Well, love was just a dream

You know I never got no sleep

Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
