             G+G    D MajorD
Last night I dreamed that I was a child
                  A augmentedA
Out where the pines grow wild and tall
    D MajorD    G+G             D MajorD
I was trying to make it home through the forest
        A augmentedA   D MajorD
Before the darkness falls

             G+G       D MajorD
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
                  A augmentedA
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
       D MajorD        G+G        D MajorD
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
        A augmentedA        D MajorD
With the devil snappin' at my heels

                G+G      D MajorD
I broke through the trees, and there in the night
                      A augmentedA
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
      D MajorD       G+G                 D MajorD
The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
            A augmentedA       D MajorD
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms

      D MajorD             A augmentedA            D MajorD

                G+G           D MajorD
I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
                          A augmentedA
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
     D MajorD         G+G      D MajorD
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride
                    A augmentedA         D MajorD
From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light

              G+G      D MajorD
I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
                                 A augmentedA
A majorA woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
         D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
                       A augmentedA        D MajorD
She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"

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