Capo 3

       D                            G              D  
It's a big house on a hilltop, fine carpets on the floor
  D                               E7              A 
Expensive polished marble are the steps up to the door
          D                                         G                        D
Vines are climbin' up to the roof top as if there's something they'd like to hide
       D                                       A             D
People call it a fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside.


Chorus:
            G                    D
The girl is gone that warmed the castle
         D                  A
Now it's dark the flame has died
       D                              G                D 
It's a big house on a hilltop without love and without pride
       D                                       A             D  
People call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside

She used to live here I thought she was lucky she had what most girls only dream of
I gave her diamonds silk and satin I gave her everything but love
And with my giving I gave her nothing she wanted only to be by my side
Yes they call it a Fool's Castle and I'm the fool that lives inside.

Chorus
