Emmylou Harris My Father's House by Bruce Springsteen

Frank Reckard guitar

Steve Fishell steel guitar

Don Johnson piano

Mike Bowden bass

Steve Turner drums

C# F# C#

Last night I dreamed that I was a child

C# G#

Out Where the pines grow wild and tall

C# F# C#

I was trying to make it home through the forest

G# C#

Before the darkness falls

C# F# C#

I heard the wind rustling through the trees

C# G#

And ghostly voices rose from the fields

C# F# C#

I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path

C# G# C#

With the devil snappin' at my heels

F# C#

I broke through the trees, and there in the night

C# G#

My father's house stood shining hard and bright

C# F# C#

The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms

G# C#

But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms

SOLO

C# F# C#

I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart

G#

Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts

C# F# C#

I got dressed, and to that house I did ride from out on the road,

G# C#

I could see his windows shining in light

C# F# C#

I walked up the steps and stood on the porch

C#

A woman I didn't recognize

G#

Came and spoke to me through a chained door

C# F# C#

I told her my story, and who I'd come for

G# C#

She said "I'm sorry but but no one by that name lives here anymore

SOLO

C# F# C#

My father's house shines hard and bright

C# G#

it stands like a beacon calling me in the night

C# F# C#

Calling and calling, so cold and alone

G# C#

Shining `cross this dark highway where all our sins lie unatoned

From Emmylou Harris "Thirteen"
