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