[B] Take a walk along [A] with me, [D]
[A] I'll [B] show you things you'll never [E]

The playful [Bm] shadows [E] dancing [D] on the ever-rusting [A] wind,

[B] But not [E] for the likes of you [A] and me.
It's [B] one a castle [C#m] built of stone,
[D] [A] With [B] ivy clinging to the [E] walls.
House [Bm] Martens, [E] busy if you dare,
[D] They're young beneath the [A] heaves,

[B] But not for [E] the likes of you [A] and me.
[D] Sweet summer sunshine [B] is welcome on my [A] face,

[A] No [B] matter where you're [E] bound to be.
[Bm] The hardship and the [E] struggle [D] to keep your [A] soul alive,
[B] To carry [E] on, keep your [A] head up high.
[Bm] Sometimes you will [E] be wishing [F#m] you were a [D] millionaire,
[A] And [Bm] disgrace the world, [E] you know it [A] isn't fair.
[B] It's so beautiful, [E] but not for [A] you and me.
[D] Sweet summer [C#m] sunshine [B] is welcome on my [A] face,
[D]
But when [C#] cold winter blows, the [B] only [F#m] place I know of,
[Bm] Is this baby [E] house around [A] my heart.
