Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas

verse 1 E A Home is where beds are made and butter is added to toast E A On a cold afternoon you can float room to room like a ghost E A Take the creche out and argue about who gets to set up the kings E A And I know that it is home because that is where the stereo sings E A I have got dreams, dreams to remember B A E But not even home will be with you forever verse 2 E A It's Christmas time and the plane flies me over white hills E A To a town in a dream where the sky, it is frozen and still E A And a room that is not mine but it is just like I left it before E A With the wax from the candles all dusty and locks on the door E A Where I held you so tenderly B A E And where in summer I opened your letter to me B Em D D C C/B Em D C C/B Now I am standing where we knee-led and a miracle mile now borders it Em C C/B A But if I turn my face to the field I do not even notice it for a second verse 3 E A There is a tangle of greenery where winter scenery ends E A And I hear that song sometimes and imagine us much more than friends E A Like if we stayed in this town, bought the first house that went up on sale E A And how each Christmastime would bring in-laws and snow days and holiday mail E A Your dad says you are living in Georgia since last September E A E A Yeah well I have got dreams, dreams to remember, I have got dreams, dreams to remember E A E A I have got dreams, dreams to remember, I have got dreams, dreams to remember B A E Oh Sara, come back to New Hampshire we'll stay there forever
