DO# FA# DO#
Last night I dreamed that I was a child
DO# SOL#
Out Where the pines grow wild and tall
DO# FA# DO#
I was trying to make it home through the forest
SOL# DO#
Before the darkness falls
DO# FA# DO#
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
DO# SOL#
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
DO# FA# DO#
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
DO# SOL# DO#
With the devil snappin' at my heels
FA# DO#
I broke through the trees, and there in the night
DO# SOL#
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
DO# FA# DO#
The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
SOL# DO#
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms
SOLO
DO# FA# DO#
I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
SOL#
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
DO# FA# DO#
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride from out on the road,
SOL# DO#
I could see his windows shining in light
DO# FA# DO#
I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
DO#
A woman I didn't recognize
SOL#
Came and spoke to me through a chained door
DO# FA# DO#
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
SOL# DO#
She said "I'm sorry but but no one by that name lives here anymore
SOLO
DO# FA# DO#
My father's house shines hard and bright
DO# SOL#
it stands like a beacon calling me in the night
DO# FA# DO#
Calling and calling, so cold and alone
SOL# DO#
Shining `cross this dark highway where all our sins lie unatoned
