                          G (320003@1)      DLast (xx0232@1)night I dreamed that I was a child
                                   AOut (x02220@1)where the pines grow wild and tall
        D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)                       DI (xx0232@1)was trying to make it home through the forest
               A (x02220@1)   DBefore (xx0232@1)the darkness falls

                         G (320003@1)           DI (xx0232@1)heard the wind rustling through the trees
                                   AAnd (x02220@1)ghostly voices rose from the fields
              D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1)             DI (xx0232@1)ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
               A (x02220@1)             DWith (xx0232@1)the devil snappin' at my heels

                                G (320003@1)          DI (xx0232@1)broke through the trees, and there in the night
                                           AMy (x02220@1)father's house stood shining hard and bright
           D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)                               DThe (xx0232@1)branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
                        A (x02220@1)            DBut (xx0232@1)I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms 

            D (xx0232@1)                       A (x02220@1)                     D-----------|--------2-----------3------|--------0------------|--------2------------2------| (xx0232@1)-----------|----3-----3-----3-----2----|----2-----2----------|----3-----3------3-----3----|

                                G (320003@1)                    DI (xx0232@1)awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
                                                   AWill (x02220@1)never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
         D (xx0232@1)                G (320003@1)         DI (xx0232@1)got dressed, and to that house I did ride
                                       A (x02220@1)                DFrom (xx0232@1)out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light

                           G (320003@1)          DI (xx0232@1)walked up the steps and stood on the porch
                                                                  AA (x02220@1)woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
                  D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)          DI (xx0232@1)told her my story, and who I'd come for
                                              A (x02220@1)              DShe (xx0232@1)said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"
