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