Chords for Bruce Springsteen - My Father's House ( Lyrics )

[F#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Last night I [E] dreamed _ _ [G] that _ _ [Em] I was a [Dm] _ child
_ _ _ _ _
Out where the _ pines grow _ _ _ _ _ [E] wild and tall _
_ _ _ _ I [A] was trying _ _ [G] to _ make it home through the fog _
[D] _ _ _ _ _
Before the [Am] _ dawn _ I [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ heard the wind _ _ rustling _ [G] through _ _ _ [D] the trees _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] And [D] ghostly _ _ voices _ _ _ _ rose from [E] the _ _ fields
_ _ I ran with my [D] heart _ pounding _ [G] _ down that broken
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
With the _ _ devil [Am] _ _ _ snapping at my _ [D] _ heel
_ _ _ [G] I broke through [D] the _ trees and [G] _ _ _ there in [D] the _ night _
_ _ _ [Dm] My _ father's _ house _ stood _ shining hard and [A] bright
The _ _ _ _ branches [Dm] and _ _ brambles [G] _ tore my [D] clothes and scratched my arms _
_ But I ran till I _ _ fell, _
_ [A] shaking _ in his [D] arms _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I woke and I met _ _ [Em] the hard [G] things that pulled us [D] _ apart _ _ _
_ _ We'll never _ again, sir, _ tear us from each [A] other's _ hearts _
_ _ _ _ [E] I [D] got dressed and to [G]
that house _ I [D] did _ ride _ _
_ _ From out on the road I could see [A] its windows _ shining [D] light _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ 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 [D] my _ _ _ story [G] _ _ _ and who [D] I'd come for _ _
_ _ _ She said, I'm sorry, son, but no one [A] by that name lives here [D] _ anymore _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ My father's _ [Am] house _ _ [G]
shines _ _ [Em] hard 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 [E] where our sins _ _ [D] lie on the tombs _
_ _ _ _ _ _
