Verse
A
Well, I walked along and I felt like pretending
A
The earth stopped moving and nothing was ending
F#m
I saw the beggar boys in different places
F#m
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
F#m
And they picked me up and took my hand
F#m
And I never felt like a better man
[Chorus]
E
Well, love was just a dream
D A
You know I never got no sleep
E 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
F#m
And I thought about nothing at all
F#m
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
F#m
And I pulled out everything I know
F#m
And I never ever went back home
[Chorus]
E
Well, love was just a dream
D A
You know I never got no sleep

Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
