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