Last night I (D major) dreamed

(D major) through the forest (G major) (D major)
Before (A major) the (D major) dark (G major) (A major) ness (D major) falls

Verse 2
I heard the wind (D major) rustling
(G major) through the (D major) trees
And (A major) ghostly (D major) voices rose (G major) from the (A major) fields
I ran with my heart (D major) pounding
(G major) down that broken (D major) path
With the devil (A major) snapping at my (D major) heels
Verse 3
I broke through the (D major) trees an
d (G major) there in (D major) the night
My (A major) father (D major) 's house stood
shining hard (G major) and (A major) bright
The branches and brambles (D major) (G major) tore my
clothes and scratched (D major) my arms
But I ran 'til I fell shaking (A major)
in his (D major) arms

(D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 4
I awoke and I (D major) imagined,
the hard (G major) things that pulled us apart (D major)
Will never again, sir,
tear us from each (A major) other's hearts
I got (D major) dressed and to that (G major) house, I (D major) did ride
From out on the road I could see
its (A major) windows shining (D major) in light
Verse 5
I walked up the (D major) steps and (G major)
stood on the porch (D major)
A woman I didn't recognize came and
spoke to me through (A major) a chained door
I told her (D major) my story and (G major) who I'd (D major) come for
She said "I'm sorry son but no one by (A major) that name
lives here anymore" (D major)

(G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 6
My father's (D major) house shines
(G major) hard and (D major) bright
It stands (A major) like (D major) a beacon
calling (A major) me in (G major) the (A major) night
Calling and call (D major) ing,
(G major) so (D major) cold and alone
Shining 'cross (A major) this (D major) dark highway
(A major) where our sins lie unatoned
