E                          A
There were signs up in the sky

C#m                     F#
When we gathered by the garden wall

A                       E
Everybody on his best behavior

A                 E
Listening for the altar call

E                           A
High priest of Salem in his robes

C#m                          F#
Ranting at the coming of the Day

A             E
Ravens at the gates

A                              E
Frightening all the visitors away
[Chorus]
Bm                 A
I lay down by the water

E
Dreamed a dream of where I come from

                 Bm    A
Old things made new

            E
Waiting for you
E A C#m F# A E A E [Verse 2]
E                          A
There were wooden wind-chimes rustling

       C#m                             F#
In the trees above the anthills on the dunes

A                          E
On the high winds we could hear them

A            E
Old familiar tunes

E                          A
The little bit of faith we had once

C#m                  F#
Like the memory of a movie

A                            E
They got burned up the great fire

A                              E
Reassembling itself slowly but surely
[Chorus]
Bm                 A
I lay down by the water

E
Dreamed a dream of where I come from

                 Bm    A
Old things made new

            E
Waiting for you
[Outro] E A C#m F# A E A E x2
