[Verse]
D D/A D D7(or Riff in D)
In dreams of yesterday I wandered
G G/B D D/A
Back to my little cabin door.
D D/A D D/A
I strolled beside an old rock garden
D D A A(or Riff in A)
And saw familiar scenes once more.
D D/A D D7(or Riff in D)
I heard the organ softly playing
G G/B D D/A
Its music came so sweet and low.
D D/A D D/A
And I heard my mother sweetly singing
D A D D/A(or Riff in A)
As oft I did so long ago.
[Verse]
D D/A D D7(or Riff in D)
I heard her sing the “Rock of Ages”
G G/B D D/A
And “Silver Threads Among the Gold”.
D D/A D D/A
She told me once again of Jesus
D D A A(or Riff in A)
Within that little cabin fold.
D D/A D D7(or Riff in D)
She opened up her faded Bible
G G/B D D/A
Where the family records used to be
D D/A D D/A
And I knew it was the same sweet mother
D A D D/A(or Riff in A)
That years ago had cradled me.
[Chorus]
D D/A D D7(or Riff in D)
I was dreaming of a little cabin
G G/B D D/A
And I heard somebody call my name.
D D/A D D/A
I Looked and saw a sweet old lady
D D A A(or Riff in A)
And it seemed I was a child again.
D D/A D D7(or Riff in D)
She gently put her arms around me
G G/B D D/A
And kissed her little boy once more.
D D/A D D/A
I knew it was the same sweet mother
D A D D/A(or Riff in A)
That had kissed me many times before

[Outro]
D D/A D D7(or Riff in D)
I miss her voice so gently calling
G G/B D D/A
I miss her precious guiding hand.
D D/A D D/A
But I know that when I reach God’s city
D A N.C. D
I’ll hear her call my name again.
