Verse
G
Well, I walked along and I felt like pretending
G
The earth stopped moving and nothing was ending
Em
I saw the beggar boys in different places
Em
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
Em
And they picked me up and took my hand
Em
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
Em
And I thought about nothing at all
Em
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
Em
And I pulled out everything I know
Em
And I never ever went back home
[Chorus]
D
Well, love was just a dream

You know I never got no sleep

Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
