Walking with the Beggar Boys Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well, [G]I walked along and
I felt like pretending
The earth stopped moving
and nothing was ending,
[D]I s[Em]aw the beggar boys
in different places,
They wore dirty rags and filthy faces
[D]I

[Verse 2]
[G]told them 'hello' and
they came and they followed,
I gave them my bread and they chewed
and the swal[D]lowed,[Em]
And they picked me up and took my hand
And I never felt like a better man

[Verse 3]
Well, [D]love was just a dream,
You [C]know I never got no [G]sleep
[D]Walking hand in hand with the
[C]beggar boys down the
Street
[G]

[Verse 4]
Well, we talked all night and I felt very tired
So I laid down and I looked at [Em]the fire
And I thought about nothing at all
And then in the morning I was up at dawn

[Verse 5]
We [G]talked to the people who
wanted to hide us
Nothing they said then could
ever divide [Em]us
And I pulled out everything I know
And I never ever went back home

[Verse 6]
Well, [D]love was just a dream,

[Verse 7]
You [C]know I never got no [G]sleep
Walk[D]ing hand in hand with
[C]the beggar boys down the
[G]Street

[Interlude 1]
Take me
[G][Em][G]
[Em]

[Verse 8]
I was [G]you (you were me)
He was she (she was he)
They [D]were [G]us (we were they)
It was real (we were free)
I was [Em]God (God is cool)
God is you (God is me)
I was one (we were two)
They were three (three is three)
I was [G]me (you were you)
Love was us (we were love)
I [D]was [G]gone (you were there)
You were here (I was everywhere)
I was [Em]this (this is me)
I was young (you were old)
I was hot (you were cold)

[Verse 9]
I was all (You were everything)
[D]Love was just a dream,
You [C]know I never got no [G]sleep
[D]Walking hand in hand with the
[C]beggar boys down the
Street
[G]

[Verse 10]
Yeah, [D]love was just a dream,
You [C]know I never got no [G]sleep
Walk[D]ing hand in hand with the
[C]beggar boys down the
Street
[G]
