Paul Weller – Old Castles (Guitar)

 Gm                Dm
Moonbeams and twilight

  F           Em         Dm
Sit by the fireside and glow

 Gm               Dm
Casting grand shadows

  F        Em         Dm
All on the meadows below

 Gm                 Dm
But the old king is quiet

 Bb              C            Dm
Looks into the fire, I think he knows

 Gm                   Dm
That his bubble has burst,

 Bb           C              Dm
and what's worse is now it shows

 F                   C
His old world is changing

   Dm            C     Bb
But he don't notice at all

 F                   C
His kingdom is crumbling

   Dm            C     Bb    C
But he can't see it and so, oh

 Gm           Am        Dm
Some kings just don't care

 Gm           Am        Dm
Happy just to stare and stare

 Gm             Am
And bad things will happen

 Gm           Am        Dm
That cause old castles to fall

 Gm               Dm
He could have done something

   F       Em       Dm
Inspired a tired old Earth

 Gm                     Dm
Done something good, done something right

  F              Em                 Dm
With which the people could unite and grow

 F                   C
For their old world is changing

   Dm            C     Bb
But they don't notice at all

   F                   C
Their kingdoms are crumbling

   Dm            C     Bb    C
But they can't see it and so, oh

 Gm           Am        Dm
Some kings just can't say no

 Gm           Am                   Dm
They'll take till there's nothing to grow

 Gm             Am
And bad things will happen

 Gm             Am         Dm
That cause old castles to fall

 Gm             Am
For its roots are rotten

 Gm             Am
Its old walls and all

 Gm                Am
And bad things will happen

 Gm             Am
That cause old castles

 Gm             Am
Cause old castles

 Gm             Am    Dm    Gm  C  D
Cause old castles to fall          Oh
