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