The 1st four notes on the D and A strings are played like a

bass just before playing the chord. The other notes are played

just after the chord except for the last note on the D string

which is bass again.

D F#m

1 I see the headlights shining on the wall.*

2 I thought I heard some footsteps on the floor.*

Em D

1 It seems I've got a visitor, who is kind enough to call.&

2 And tell me if I'm dreaming, or is someone at the door.&

Chorus

D Bm F#m Bm F#m

And I hope and pray, ev'ry day.
