C#Last night I dreamed that F#I was a cC#hild
C#Out Where the pines grow wild and G#tall
I was C#trying to F#make it home through the forC#est
Before the darG#kness C#falls
C#I heard the wind rustling F#through the tC#rees
C#And ghostly voices rose from the G#fields
I ran with my heart C#pounding F#down that broken C#path
C#With the devil G#snappin' at my C#heels
I broke through the trees, and tF#here in the C#night
C#My father's house stood shining hard and G#bright
The branches and C#brambles F#tore my clothes and scratched my C#arms
But I ran till I fell, G#shaking in his C#arms
SOLO
C#I awoke and I imagined the F#hard things that pulled us C#apart
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's G#hearts
I got C#dressed, and to that F#house I did C#ride from out on the road,
I could see hG#is windows shining in C#light
I walked up the C#steps and F#stood on the C#porch
C#A woman I didn't recognize
Came and spoke to me through a chained G#door
I told her my C#story, and F#who I'd come C#for
She said "I'm sorry but but no one by that G#name lives here anymC#ore

C#My father's house shines F#hard and C#bright
C#it stands like a beacon calling me in the G#night
Calling and C#calling, so F#cold and aC#lone
Shining `cross this dark highway where all our G#sins lie unatoC#ned

Subject: CRD: My Fathers's House Emmylou Harris Chords/Lyrics

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

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

A woman I didn't recognize

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
