A Street Called Hope
View chords used in this chart
Intro: Am C Am C
Am C Em G
I took a room in a house of gloom
F G Am
Somewhere I could hide my soul
C Em G
There I hoped to find a way to ease my mind
F G Am
Couldn't face the gloom tomorrow
C G Am F
I sat until the hours of three or four
Am F Am
Thinking doesn't help but seems
C G Am F
I crept to bed and cried myself to sleep once more
Am E7
Then I had the wildest dream
Chorus:
Am Dm Am
(Street called Hope) in a town named Freedom
Dm G C E7
Where each clock is pointed to the hour of love
Am Dm Am
Upon a street called Hope at the house of Welcome
Dm Am E7 Am
That's where she opened the door of love
When I awoke the following day
Every doubt had left my mind
My dream it taught me what the prophets say
Those who seek will always find
I ran down the stair and out in to the street
Looking for the nearest phone
We both said sorry and decided to meet
To find ourselves a happy home
Chorus (repeat and fade)
