C# (x43121@1)                      F# (244322@1)     C#Last (x43121@1)night I dreamed that I was a child
C# (x43121@1)                              G#Out (xx1114@1)Where the pines grow wild and tall
      C# (x43121@1)      F# (244322@1)                        C#I (x43121@1)was trying to make it home through the forest
              G# (xx1114@1)  C#Before (x43121@1)the darkness falls
C# (x43121@1)                      F# (244322@1)         C#I (x43121@1)heard the wind rustling through the trees
C# (x43121@1)                             G#And (xx1114@1)ghostly voices rose from the fields
                    C# (x43121@1)     F# (244322@1)             C#I (x43121@1)ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
C# (x43121@1)           G# (xx1114@1)           C#With (x43121@1)the devil snappin' at my heels
                                F# (244322@1)        C#I (x43121@1)broke through the trees, and there in the night
C# (x43121@1)                                     G#My (xx1114@1)father's house stood shining hard and bright
                 C# (x43121@1)     F# (244322@1)                             C#The (x43121@1)branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
                       G# (xx1114@1)           C#But (x43121@1)I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms

C# (x43121@1)                       F# (244322@1)                       C#I (x43121@1)awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
                                                 G#Will (xx1114@1)never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
      C# (x43121@1)                 F# (244322@1)        C#I (x43121@1)got dressed, and to that house I did ride from out on the road,
             G# (xx1114@1)                  C#I (x43121@1)could see his windows shining in light
                C# (x43121@1)      F# (244322@1)         C#I (x43121@1)walked up the steps and stood on the porch
C#A (x43121@1)woman I didn't recognize
                                       G#Came (xx1114@1)and spoke to me through a chained door
              C# (x43121@1)       F# (244322@1)         C#I (x43121@1)told her my story, and who I'd come for
                                           G# (xx1114@1)                C#She (x43121@1)said "I'm sorry but but no one by that name lives here anymore

C# (x43121@1)                                      G#it (xx1114@1)stands like a beacon calling me in the night
            C# (x43121@1)        F# (244322@1)      C#Calling (x43121@1)and calling, so cold and alone
