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

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
