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