My Fathers House Chords & Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

INTRO: [D] [A] [D] [D]

[VERSES]
[D]Last night[G] I dreamed [D]that I was[D] a child
[D]Out where [D]the pines g[A]row wild a[A]nd tall
[D]I was tryi[G]ng to make [D]it home th[D]rough the forest
[D]Before the[A] darkness f[D]alls [D]

[D]I heard th[G]e wind rust[D]ling throu[D]gh the trees
[D]And ghostl[D]y voices ro[A]se from th[A]e fields
[D]I ran with[G] my heart p[D]ounding do[D]wn that broken path
[D]With the d[A]evil snappi[D]n at my he[D]els

[D]I broke th[G]rough the t[D]rees and t[D]here in he night
[D]My fathers[D] house stoo[A]d shining [A]hard and bright
[D]The branch[G]es and bram[D]bles tore [D]my clothes and scratched my arms
[D]But I ran [A]till I fell[D] shaking i[D]n his arms

HARMONICA = [D] [A] [D] [D]

[VERSES]
[D]I awoke an[G]d I imagine[D]d the hard[D] things that pulled us apart
[D]Will never[D] again sir [A]tear us fr[A]om each others hearts
[D]I got dres[G]sed and to [D]that house[D] I did ride
[D]From out o[A]n the road [D]I could se[D]e its windows shining in light

[D]I walked u[G]p the steps[D] and stood[D] on the porch
[D]A woman I [D]didnt recog[A]nize came [A]and spoke to me through a chained door
[D]I told her[G] my story a[D]nd who Id [D]come for
[D]She said "[A]Im sorry so[D]n but no o[D]ne by that name lives here anymore"

HARMONICA = VERSE

[VERSE]
[D]My fathers[G] house shin[D]es hard an[D]d bright
[D]It stands [D]like a beac[A]on calling[A] me in the night
[D]Calling an[G]d calling s[D]o cold and[D] alone
[D]Shining cr[A]oss this da[D]rk highway[D] where our sins lie unatoned
