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
