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

               D
Out where the pines grow
          A
Wild and tall

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

            D   A          D
Before the dar-ar-arkness falls


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

      D
And ghostly voices
                A
Rose from the fields

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

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


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

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

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

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


INSTRUMENTAL:

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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


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

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

             D
Calling and calling,
G               D
  So cold and alone

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