CASTLES IN THE SAND - Thunder
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Kengus

>>Thunder was a great band that didn't get as much attention as they
would've deserved. This is one of their great rock songs. The chorus
and interlude are played with power chords I think. Try it out.<<

VERSE1
              Am            F/A
There must’ve been a moment
  C             G
A second or a time
       Am           F/A    C                     G
When I didn't look up or I missed some kind of sign
           Am              F/A
Turned the wrong direction
             C              G
When she was just an inch away
       Am               F/A
Like a missed connection
       C               G
And my future slipped away

PD-C HORUS
Fsus4                         F
   There've been times when I feel like I'm
   Fsus4                 Am7
Conspired against by fate
Bsus4                                Dsus4  D
   It's almost bad enough to make me hate

CHORUS
Am                         F             C   G
   I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Am                   F              G      C        D       (Em)
   Just waiting for another fake to break my promised land
F                            G               C      G/B       Am     G
   I've been looking for the real thing in a lonely one night stand
D/F#                            F   G
   Like building castles in the sand

[1/2 of INTRO]

VERSE2/PD-C HORUS
       Am        F/A  C         G
Cos it terrifies me, ending up alone
       Am          F/A      C                G
And it walks beside me, the ghost of chances gone
Bsus4                  F             Bsus4                 Am7
   Did I have it did I let it go, or close the door too fast?
Bsus4                                 Dsus4         D
   Is there an answer locked up in my past?...in my past

CHORUS2
Am                         F             C   G
   I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Am                      F               G       C        D     (Em)
   Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands
F                  G              C        B/G        Am    G
   So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land
D/F#                            F   G
   Just building castles in the sand?

INTERLUDE
          D5  E5            F5       G5         A5 B5 C5 E5
I've been crying, I've been living alone so long
          D5       E5         F5    G5
I've been over and over the reasons
      F                           G
But I can't find the thing that's wrong
      D5  E5        F5         G5         A5 G5 E5 B5
In my mind, all the evidence seems to say
C                                G                 Em
  I wouldn't even know it if she walked right in today

CHORUS2
Am                         F             C   G
   I'm sick of building castles in the sand
Am                      F               G       C        D     (Em)
   Seems like everybody else I know can hold it in their hands
F                  G              C        B/G        Am    G
   So will it ever happen or am I doomed to walk this land
D/F#             G     Em        Am... (repeat Am-F-C-G)
   Just building castles in the sand?
