VERSE:
           D MajorD
Well, last night I dreamed that
G+G      D MajorD
 I was a child

        D MajorD
Out where the pines grow
     A augmentedA
Wild and tall

    D MajorD
I was trying to
G+G              D MajorD
 Make it home through the forest

      D MajorD  A augmentedA     D MajorD
Before the dar-ar-arkness falls


VERSE:
  D MajorD
I heard the wind rustling
G+G        D MajorD
 Through the trees

   D MajorD
And ghostly voices
        A augmentedA
Rose from the fields

           D MajorD
I ran with my heart pounding
 G+G        D MajorD
Down that broken path

     D MajorD   A augmentedA
With the dev-il-il
    D MajorD
At my heels

VERSE:
           D MajorD
I broke through the trees, and
G+G        D MajorD
 There in the night

       D MajorD
My father's house stood
          A augmentedA
Shining hard and bright

          D MajorD
The branches and brambles
     G+G            D MajorD
Tore my clothes and scratched my arms

       D MajorD
I ran till I fell,
 A augmentedA       D MajorD
Shaking in his arms


INSTRUMENTAL:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
D A augmentedA
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
D A augmentedA D MajorD


VERSE:
        D MajorD
I awoke and I imagined
      G+G           D MajorD
The hard things that pulled us apart

       D MajorD
Would never again, sir,
              A augmentedA
Tear us from each other's hearts

     D MajorD
I got dressed,
       G+G     D MajorD
And to that house I did ride

         D MajorD
From out on the road,
         A augmentedA         D MajorD
I could see its windows shining in light


VERSE:
         D MajorD
I walked up the steps and
G+G        D MajorD
I stood on the porch

         D MajorD
A augmentedA woman I didn't recognize
                    A augmentedA
Came and spoke to me through a chained door

        D MajorD
I told her my story,
 G+G        D MajorD
And who I'd come for

           D MajorD
She said "I'm sorry, son,
          A augmentedA         D MajorD
But no one by that name lives here anymore"


VERSE:
         D MajorD
Now my father's house shines
 G+G    D MajorD
Hard and bright

         D MajorD
It stands like a beacon
          A augmentedA
Calling me in the night

       D MajorD
Calling and calling,
G+G        D MajorD
 So cold and alone

             D MajorD
Shining 'cross this dark highway
      A augmentedA
Where our sins
    D MajorD
Lie unatoned


OUTRO:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
D A augmentedA
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
D A augmentedA D MajorD
