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