  C#                        F#       C#

  Last night I dreamed that I was a child 

  C#                                G#

  Out Where the pines grow wild and tall

        C#        F#                          C#

  I was trying to make it home through the forest 

                G#    C#

  Before the darkness falls

  C#                        F#           C#

  I heard the wind rustling through the trees 

  C#                               G#

  And ghostly voices rose from the fields

                      C#       F#               C# 

  I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path

  C#             G#             C#

  With the devil snappin' at my heels

                                  F#          C#

  I broke through the trees, and there in the night

  C#                                       G#

  My father's house stood shining hard and bright 

                   C#       F#                               C#

  The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms

                         G#             C#

  But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms

  

  SOLO

  

  C#                         F#                         C#

  I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart

                                                   G#

  Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts

        C#                   F#          C#

  I got dressed, and to that house I did ride from out on the road, 

               G#                    C#

  I could see his windows shining in light

                  C#        F#           C#

  I walked up the steps and stood on the porch

  C#

  A woman I didn't recognize 

                                         G#

  Came and spoke to me through a chained door

                C#         F#           C#

  I told her my story, and who I'd come for

                                             G#                  C#

  She said "I'm sorry but but no one by that name lives here anymore

  

  SOLO

  

  

  C#                       F#       C#

  My father's house shines hard and bright 

  C#                                        G#

  it stands like a beacon calling me in the night

              C#          F#        C# 

  Calling and calling, so cold and alone

                                                 G#            C#

  Shining `cross this dark highway where all our sins lie unatoned
