All Fall Down

C 
When I was a little country boy I had a dream 

    F                           G7 
Our family wasn't poor but rich instead 

  C 
I took to the road instead of stayin' home to help 

         F                                G7 
And that dream just withered up inside my head 


         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                                     G7 
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down 

         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                    G7              C 
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down 



When I was a strong young man I fell in love with Sue 

  F                            G7 
I wanted her to be my wife someday 

      C 
But I just couldn't bring myself to say Sue I love you 

         F                                      G7 
And that dream just fell to the ground and blew away 


         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                                     G7 
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down 

         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                    G7              C 
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down 



When I reached my middle age I hungered for success 

    F                            G7 
And things like fancy limousines and such 

         C 
About as close as I came to that fancy limousine 

      F                                G7 
Was a thirty thousand dollar greyhound bus 


         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                                     G7 
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down 

         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                    G7              C 
When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down 


        
When I reached my golden years I often had a dream 

     F                        G7 
That I'd be respected by society 

    C 
But here I am on skid row with a bottle in my hand 

    F                                 G7 
And free advice to give to fools like me 


         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                                     G7 
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down 

         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                    G7               C    G7 
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down 


         C             F 
All fall down all fall down 

         C                    G7               C 
When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
