[E] Down the street you can hear her scream, you hear her [G#] disgrace, and she slams [C#] the door
and it's front and [D#] face, and now he stands outside, and all the [G#m] neighbors start to gossip
[F#] and drool.
[A] [F#] [E] He cries, oh girl you must be mad, [G#] what happened to the sweet love [D#m] you and me
had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene, [B] and his tears fall and burn her [G#] garden
[F#] green, and [C#] so castles made of sand [B] fall in the [E] sea,
[F#] eventually.
[C#m] [F#] [B] [A]
[D#m] A [Em] little Indian [G#m] brave, who before he was tenured, played board games in the woods with his Indian
friends, and [D#] built a dream that when he grew [E] up he would be a fearless [F#] warrior, Indian
gene.
[E] Many moons passed, and Mulder's dream grew [G#] stronger, till tomorrow he would sing
his first [D#m] war song, and fight his first battle, [D#] and something went wrong, [B] so Bryce Tate [F#] killed
him in his sleep that night, and so [C#] castles made of sand [F#] melt [B] into the [F#] sea.

speak a sound, [D#] and she [D#m] wished and prayed she could stop living, [B] [F#] so she decided to die.
[Bm] She drew a [E] wheelchair to the edge of the shore, and [G#] to her legs she smiled, you won't hurt
me no more, but [D#m] then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and [E] say, [B] look a golden
[F#] winged ship is passing my way, and it really didn't stop, it just kept on [C#] going, and so
castles [B] made of sand [Am] [G#] [F#] [B] slips [A] into the [B] sea.
