Verse
D A
I lay awake for a night
G Bm A
Drenched in anguish and bright light
G D
I dreamt about an ancient house
A D
And a slow Southern home
[Verse 2]
D A
I was there, and so were you
G Bm A
Not a word was spoke, nothing new
G D
It was old, all was known
A D
Like a sheep to the fold
[Verse 3]
D A
B blind man sang, bells of joy
G Bm A
I was a stranger, but still a boy
G D
My parents dead, the vines had grown
A D
Through my slow Southern home
[Verse 4]
D A
In those eyes, I had no name
G Bm A
They had seen fear, and all was vain
G D
Bells of joy he did sing
A D
His noise did ring and ring and ring
[Verse 5]
D A
And everyone must come back
G Bm A
The flames have risen, the plumes were black
G D
And if you're welcomed home by friends
A D
It won't ever be the same again
