Intro: C Em G Bm

C         D       G        Bm 
I own a sandcastle right by the sea
G                           Bm 
My lover and I built it for to stay
C         D       G           Bm
we had the first castle there on the sand
Am      D         C      G          Bm 
I ruled for years as the king of my land
D               
One day an army of sand crabs approached
G
from the west
D
high in our sand castle turret 
G
we looked out and laughed
D               C 
for we saw more sand crabs
G              Bm 
approach from the east
D        G       D      
my lover and I looked down
G      Bm 
at our feet
D      C       G      C
we asked should we use them
G          Bm  
to run and hide
G 
no we said let's watch them up
          Bm 
here from up high 
G 
before we knew it the 
D
sand and rocks  
G
flew through the air

D         G         D     G
we didn't know what was going on
D              G 
though we were there
D    G  C 
now our sand castle 
G        Bm 
sunk in the sea
G           C 
and all the sand crabs
G               Bm 
returned while standing 
D           Am           G 
They didn't really think much
       Bm 
of our land
D        C         G       Bm 
my lover and I lie dead in the sand

D C G B
