Tom: C
G G C C
[Verse 1]
F
You live on your hill
F C
So high and so lonely
G
You toss out your breadcrumbs
F C C7
To those down below
F
They think you're a king
F C
But believe me it's only
G
Because they're too blinded
F C C7
To know...
[Chorus]
F
Your castle is dingy
F C
And dirty, and dismal
G
Your carpets are faded
F C C7
Your walls are all grey
F
There's dust on your silver
F C
And cracks in your crystal
G
And all your young servants
F C C7
Have drifted away
[Verse 2]
F
There once was a time
F C
When your money had meaning
G
Your diamonds had glitter
F C C7
But now it's all gone
F
It poisoned your laughter
F C
And muffled your singing
G
You can't even see
F C C7
That it's wrong...
[Chorus]
F
Your castle is dingy
F C
And dirty, and dismal
G
Your carpets are faded
F C C7
Your walls are all grey
F
There's dust on your silver
F C
And cracks in your crystal
G
And all your young servants
F C C7
Have drifted away
[Verse 3]
F
So go back to your sadness
F C
Go back to your sorrow
G
I'll make my bed
F C C7
On a hill 'neath the sky
F
And lay there, a-listening
F C
Till the sun comes tomorrow
G
Counting the tears
F C C7
That you cry...
[Chorus]
F
Your castle is dingy
F C
And dirty, and dismal
G
Your carpets are faded
F C C7
Your walls are all grey
F
There's dust on your silver
F C
And cracks in your crystal
G
And all your young servants
F C C7
Have drifted away
