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