There is a (E)cas (F)tle (Dm)on (E)a (Am)cloud,

I like to (G)go there in my (C)sleep.

(E)Aren’t an y floors for me to (F)sweep,

(Dm)not in my (E)cas tle on a (Am)cloud.

There is a (E)room (F)that’s (Dm)full (E)of (Am)toys,

there are a (G)hun dred boys and (C)girls.

(E)No bod y shouts or talks too (F)loud,

(Dm)not in my (E)cas tle on a (Am)cloud.

(F)There is a la dy (C)all in white (F)holds me and sings a (C)lul la by.

She’s (F)nice to see and she’s soft to touch; she (E)says “Co sette, I love you ver y much.” (Am)I know a (E)place (F)where (Dm)no (E)one’s (Am)lost,

I know a (G)place where no one (C)cries.

(E)Cry ing at all is not al (F)lowed,

(Dm)not in my (E)cas tle on a (Am)cloud.
