[Am] [D]
Last night I [E] dreamed that [G] I was a [Am]
child [D]
Out where the [F] pines grow [D]
wild [A] and tall
[E] I was [A] trying to [G]
make it home through the fog [D]
Before the [Am] darkness [A]
falls
I heard the wind rustling [G]
through the [D] trees [E] And ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my heart pounding [G]
down that broken [D]
road With the devil [A]
snapping at my [D]
heels
I broke through the trees and [G]
there in the night My father's [E] house [Dm] stood shining hard and [A] bright
The branches and brambles [G]
tore my [D] clothes and scratched my arms
But I ran till I fell, [A]
shaking in his [D]
arms [G]
[E]
[E] [D]
I awoke and I met the [G] hard things that pulled us
[D]
We'll never again, sir, tear us from each other's [A]
hearts
[E]
I got [D] dressed and to [G] that house I did [D]
ride
From out on the road I could see [A] its windows shining wide
I walked up the steps and [G]
stood on the [D] door A woman I didn't recognize
Came and spoke to me through a [A] chain door I told her my story [G] and who [D] I'd come for
She said, I'm sorry, son, but no one by [A] that name lives here anymore
[G]
[A]
[D] [G]
[D]
[A]
[D] My father's house [G]
shines hard [E] and [D] bright Stands like a beacon calling [A] me in the night
Calling and calling, [D]
so cold and alone Shining across this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned
