[F#] [D] Last night I [A] dreamed [G] that I was a child
Out where [F] the pines [D] grow [E]
wild and tall
I [A] was trying [G] to make it home through the [D] forest
Before the [Em]
darkness [A]
[D] falls
I heard the wind rustling [G] through [D] the trees
[E] And ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my [D] heart pounding [G] down that broken [D] path
With the devil [A] snapping at my [D] heel
I broke through the trees and [G]
there [D] in the night
My father's [E] house [D]
stood shining hard and [Am] 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
[G] [E]
[D]
I awoke 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 [G] to that house [Em] I did [D] ride
From out on the road I could see [A] its windows shining light
I walked up the steps [G] and stood on [D] the door
A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a [A] chain door
I told her [D] my story, [G]
who I'd [D] come for
She said, I'm sorry, son, but no one [A] by that name lives [D] here anymore

My father's house
[G] shines hard and [D] bright
It stands like a beacon calling [A]
me in the night
[E]
[A] Calling in call,
[D] so cold and alone
Shining across this dark highway [E] where our sins lie [D] unatoned
