As recorded by Kansas (From the 1988 Album IN THE SPIRIT OF THINGS) [Intro] N.C. C [Verse 1]
C                  F                C
 There's tombstone in a snowy field

                F          Am
Close by an old ghost town

              G                  C    F  C
The epitaph's been weather-blown away

                    F                      C
There's a belltower where petitions peeled

                    F    Am
It's been half torn down

                    G                          C        Csus4  C
But it must have softened every soul that came to pray
[Verse 2]
                      F                   C
There's a schoolhouse full of broken glass

            F     Am
And wounded walls

                 Gsus4        G          C            Csus4  C
The rusty swings like derelicts sleeping in the weeds

                  F                C
There's a picture-graduation class

                      F     Am
Staring down deserted halls

              Gsus4 G       C         E
"THE HOPE OF 44"    is what it reads
[Bridge]
                     Dm                       G           F        E
It's just as if some restless wind blew their dreams away far away

                Dm               G              E C
It's just as if those dreams had never been but oh

                    F             C             F
I feel their ghosts around me now - I hear them say

        Am             G                      C
They've come back home to dream those dreams again
[Guitar Solo] E Dm G F E Dm G E C F C F Am G C [Outro] Am G Am G
F                         Gsus4       G      C
They've come back home to dream those dreams again
