Home From The Forest chords

[D]Oh, the neon lights were flashing, and the [G]icy wind
did [D]blow.
The water [F#m]seeped in..[Bm]to his [A]shoes, and the [G]drizzle
turned to [D]snow.
His [G]eyes were red, his [D]hopes were dead and the
[Bm]wine was running [F#]low..
and the [G]old man came [A]home..from the [D]forest.

#2.
[D]His tears fell on the sidewalk as he [G]stumbled in the [D]street.
A dozen [F#m]faces [Bm]stopped to [A]stare but [G]no one stopped to [D]speak.
For his [G]castle was a [D]hallway and the [Bm]bottle was his [F#]friend..
and the [G]old man stumbled [A]in..from the [D]forest.

#3.
[D]Up a dark and dingy staircase, the [G]old man made his [D]way..
his [F#m]ragged [Bm]coat around him [A]as up..[G]on his cot he [D]lay.
And he [G]wondered how it [D]happened, that he [Bm]ended up this [F#]way..
getting [G]lost like a [A]fool..in the [D]forest.

#4.
[D]And as he lay there sleeping, a [G]vision did ap[D]pear.
Upon his [F#m]mantle [Bm]shining..a [A]face of [G]one so [D]dear..
who had [G]loved him in the [D]Springtime of a [Bm]long forgotten [F#]year..
when the [G]wildflowers did [A]bloom..in the [D]forest.

#5.
[D]She touched his grizzled fingers and she [G]called him by his [D]name.
And [F#m]then he [Bm]heard the joyful [A]sound of [G]children at their [D]games..
in an [G]old house on a [D]hillside in [Bm]some forgotten [F#]town,
where the [G]river runs [A]down..from the [D]forest.

#6.
[D]With a mighty roar the big jets soar a[G]bove the canyon [D]streets.
And the [F#m]con men [Bm]con but life goes [A]on, for the [G]city never [D]sleeps.
And for an [G]old forgotten [D]soldier, the [Bm]dawn will come no [F#]more..
for the [G]old man has come [A]home..from the [D]forest.

[OUTRO]
[D]Yes, the [G]old man has come [A]home..from the [D]forest.
