C# Last night I dreamed that F# I was a c C# hild
C# Out Where the pines grow wild and G# tall
I was C# trying to F# make it home through the for C# est
Before the dar G# kness C# falls
C# I heard the wind rustling F# through the t C# rees
C# And ghostly voices rose from the G# fields
I ran with my heart C# pounding F# down that broken C# path
C# With the devil G# snappin' at my C# heels
I broke through the trees, and t F# here in the C# night
C# My father's house stood shining hard and G# bright
The branches and C# brambles F# tore my clothes and scratched my C# arms
But I ran till I fell, G# shaking in his C# arms
SOLO
C# I awoke and I imagined the F# hard things that pulled us C# apart
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's G# hearts
I got C# dressed, and to that F# house I did C# ride from out on the road,
I could see h G# is windows shining in C# light
I walked up the C# steps and F# stood on the C# porch
C# A woman I didn't recognize
Came and spoke to me through a chained G# door
I told her my C# story, and F# who I'd come C# for
She said "I'm sorry but but no one by that G# name lives here anym C# ore
SOLO
C# My father's house shines F# hard and C# bright
C# it stands like a beacon calling me in the G# night
Calling and C# calling, so F# cold and a C# lone
Shining `cross this dark highway where all our G# sins lie unato C# ned
