Fools Castle

Written by Tommy Collins

	  		
C 
It's a big house on a hilltop 
  
     F              C 
Fine carpets on the floor 

                           
Expensive polished marble 
  
        D7              G7 
Are the steps up to the door 

      C 
Vines are climbing up to the roof top 
  
              F                        C 
As if there's something they'd like to hide 


People call it the Fool's Castle 
  
                 G7         C 
And I'm the fool that lives inside 


    F                            C 
The girl is gone that warmed the castle 
  
                            G7 
Now it's dark the flame has died 

       C 
It's a big house on a hilltop 
  
        F                C 
Without love and without pride 


People call it the Fool's Castle 
  
                 G7         C 
And I'm the fool that lives inside 



She used to live here I thought she was lucky  

             F               C 
She had what most girls only dream of 

                              
I gave her diamonds silk and satin  

           D7             G7 
I gave her everything but love 

            C 
And with my giving I gave her nothing  

           F                C 
She wanted only to be by my side 


Yes they call it the Fool's Castle 
  
                 G7         C 
And I'm the fool that lives inside 


    F                            C 
The girl is gone that warmed the castle  

                            G7 
Now it's dark the flame has died 

       C 
It's a big house on a hilltop 
  
        F                C 
Without love and without pride 


People call it the Fool's Castle  

                 G7         C 
And I'm the fool that lives inside
