VERSES
D         G          D         
Last night I dreamed that I was a 
D
child
D         D          A         
Out where the pines grow wild and 
A
tall
D         G          D         
I was trying to make it home through
D
 the forest
D         A          D         D
Before the darkness falls

D         G          D         
I heard the wind rustling through 
D
the trees
D         D          A         
And ghostly voices rose from the 
A
fields
D         G          D         
I ran with my heart pounding down 
D
that broken path
D         A          D         D
With the devil snappin at my heels

D         G          D         
I broke through the trees and there 
D
in he night

My fathers house stood shining hard 
A
and bright
D         G          D         
The branches and brambles tore my 
D
clothes and scratched my arms
D         A          D         
But I ran till I fell shaking in his
D
 arms

VERSES
D         G          D         
I awoke and I imagined the hard 
D
things that pulled us apart
D         D          A         
Will never again sir tear us from 
A
each others hearts
D         G          D         
I got dressed and to that house I 
D
did ride
D         A          D         
From out on the road I could see its
D
 windows shining in light

D         G          D         
I walked up the steps and stood on 
D
the porch
D         D          A         
A woman I didnt recognize came and 
A
spoke to me through a chained door
D         G          D         
I told her my story and who Id come 
D
for
D         A          D         
She said "Im sorry son but no one by
D
 that name lives here anymore"

D         G          D         
My fathers house shines hard and 
D
bright
D         D          A         
It stands like a beacon calling me 
A
in the night
D         G          D         
Calling and calling so cold and 
D
alone
D         A          D         
Shining cross this dark highway 
D
where our sins lie unatoned
