[Verse 1]
I lay Cawake for a Gnight 
Drenched in Fanguish and bright AmligGht 
I dreamt Fabout an ancient Chouse 
And a Gslow Southern Chome 
[Verse 2]
I was Cthere, and so were Gyou 
Not a Fword was spoke, nothing AmneGw 
It was Fold, all was Cknown 
Like a Gsheep to the Cfold 
[Verse 3]
A blind man Csang, bells of Gjoy 
I was a Fstranger, but still a Amboy G  
My parents Fdead, the vines had Cgrown 
Through my Gslow Southern Chome 
[Verse 4]
In those Ceyes, I had no Gname 
They had seen Ffear, and all was AmvaiGn 
Bells of Fjoy he did Csing 
His noise did Gring and ring and Cring 
[Verse 5]
And Ceveryone must come Gback 
The flames have Frisen, the plumes were AmblaGck 
And if you're Fwelcomed home by Cfriends 
It won't Gever be the same Cagain

[Verse 1]

C G

I lay awake for a night

F Am G

Drenched in anguish and bright light

F C

I dreamt about an ancient house

G C

And a slow Southern home

[Verse 2]

C G

I was there, and so were you

F Am G

Not a word was spoke, nothing new

F C

It was old, all was known

G C

Like a sheep to the fold

[Verse 3]

C G

A blind man sang, bells of joy

F Am G

I was a stranger, but still a boy

F C

My parents dead, the vines had grown

G C

Through my slow Southern home

[Verse 4]

C G

In those eyes, I had no name

F Am G

They had seen fear, and all was vain

F C

Bells of joy he did sing

G C

His noise did ring and ring and ring

[Verse 5]

C G

And everyone must come back

F Am G

The flames have risen, the plumes were black

F C

And if you're welcomed home by friends

G C

It won't ever be the same again
