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
