Slow Southern Home (CHORDS) by Doug Burr
[Verse 1]~
C G
I lay awake for a night
F Am G
Drenched in anguish and bright light
F C
I dreamt about an ancient house
G C
And a slow Southern home
[Verse 2]~
C G
I was there,, and so were you
F Am G
Not a word was spoke,, nothing new
F C
It was old,, all was known
G C
Like a sheep to the fold
[Verse 3]~
C G
A blind man sang,, bells of joy
F Am G
I was a stranger,, but still a boy
F C
My parents dead,, the vines had grown
G C
Through my slow Southern home
[Verse 4]~
C G
In those eyes,, I had no name
F Am G
They had seen fear,, and all was vain
F C
Bells of joy he did sing
G C
His noise did ring and ring and ring
[Verse 5]~
C G
And everyone must come back
F Am G
The flames have risen,, the plumes were black
F C
And if you're welcomed home by friends
G C
It won't ever be the same again
