Em            G
I have come into your house 
Em                                                   G
You say there?s something I should know by now and I vow to hear you out 
Em               G
But as you speak, how I feel the sting 
Em                                      G
Like the hackles on a dog?s back I rise up to meet the

C/G                     Am            Em
Wordss you spoke in the middle of the night 
G                      Em        C/G
They fall heavy like a hammer on my mind 
            C/G                               Em       Am
You are the light in the darkness, you?re the fire on the vine

Oooh

Em (muted) G
Oh my son, I have known your ways 
Em                                             G
But I?m the gale that?ll rattle your gate; you shudder, I make you shake 
Em                     G
You will find what you did not seek 
Em                    G (no longer muted)
A road less narrow, a way not steep 

      D
Oh my child
          Em       C/G
Don?t you lose your place 
            D
Remember my table 
   Am       Em
Remember my face

        C/G                      Am            Em
And the things I told you in the middle of the night 
G                      Em        C/G
They fall heavy like a hammer on your mind 
         C/G                            Em         Am
I am the light in the darkness, I?m the fire on the vine

Em  G      C/G
You turn away 
Em  G      C/G
I?m left alone 
Am   G      C/G
Then came a sign 
Am            G    C/G
Then came the Revelation 

           Em                       D
And I said you, you will not dig a hole in me 
                   Am
You will not chop down my tree 
                     C/G
Or hold me under the water 

       Em                       D
No and you, you will not dig a hole in me 
                   Am
You will not chop down my tree 
                     C/G
Or hold me under the water
