VERSE:
               D
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
Snapping 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
But 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          
And to that house 

       D
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
  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"
INSTRUMENTAL: (Follow VERSE chords) D G D D A D G D D A D VERSE:
             D
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
