              B7    Em   
Well I had an awful dream
  C         G          D       G
I laid your bones by a shallow stream
                        B7     Em
I carved your name in a willow tree
    C        G       D       G
And beat the ground

                    B7    Em
The water clear and sun a’bright
  C        G     D        G
I left the tears alone to dry
                 B7        Em
I raised my arms up to the sky
C     G               D     G
And I challenged God

You had no prose, you had no right
   C       G        D      G
To take my dove, my little light
                 B7      Em
Half of my soul, half of my sight
C  G              D           G
My beating heart, my precious wife

Em          C       G             B7
Have you no answer, follow you no more
Em        C    D             G
I'm on my own,    this means war

When I awoke, when I came to
   C         G           D     G
My whole perspective was brand new
                   B7      Em
I made a vow and I keep it true
C         G            D        G   
Hold very close what's given to you
B7        Em           C        G      D     G
Keep very close what's given to you
