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