Emmylou Harris My Father's House by Bruce Springsteen
Frank Reckard guitar Steve Fishell steel guitar Don Johnson piano Mike Bowden bass Steve Turner drums
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 G# 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 C# A woman I didn't recognize G# 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
