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