[C#]
Last night I dreamed [F#] that I [C#] was a child out where the pines grow
[G#] Wild and tall I [C#] was trying [F#] to make it home [C#] through the fall
Deep for the [G#]
[C#] darkness fall I heard the wind [F#] rustling through [C#] the trees
And ghostly voices rose [G#] from the trees
I ran with [C#] my heart pounding [F#] down that [C#] broken path
With a devil [G#] snapping at [C#] my heels I broke through the trees [F#] and there in [C#] the night
My father's house stood shining hard [G#] and broad
The branches [C#] and brambles tore [F#] my clothes, crashed [C#] down
But I ran till I fell, [Fm] shaking [G#] in [C#] his arm
[G#]
[C#] I awoke and I imagined [F#] hard things [G#] that pulled [C#] us apart
That will never again stir, tear us from each [G#] other's heart
I [C#] got dressed and threw [F#] that house I [C#] lived from
From out on the road I could see [G#] his window shining [C#] in light
I walked up the steps [F#] and stood on the [C#] floor
A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a [G#] chain door
I [G#m] told her my [C#] story, [Fm] [F#] who I'd come [C#] for
She said I'm sorry but no one by that [G#] name is there [C#] anymore
[F#]
[C#]
[G#]
[C#] My father's house shined [F#]
hard [C#] and broad
It stands like a beacon calling me in [G#] the night
[C#] Calling, calling, [F#] so calling
[C#] Shining [G#]
across this [C#] dark highway where all [G#] our sins lie [C#] unatoned
Last night I dreamed [F#] that I [C#] was a child out where the pines grow
[G#] Wild and tall I [C#] was trying [F#] to make it home [C#] through the fall
Deep for the [G#]
[C#] darkness fall I heard the wind [F#] rustling through [C#] the trees
And ghostly voices rose [G#] from the trees
I ran with [C#] my heart pounding [F#] down that [C#] broken path
