Em G
I have come into your house
Em G
You say there?s something I should know by now and I vow to hear you out
Em G
But as you speak, how I feel the sting
Em G
Like the hackles on a dog?s back I rise up to meet the
C/G Am Em
Wordss you spoke in the middle of the night
G Em C/G
They fall heavy like a hammer on my mind
C/G Em Am
You are the light in the darkness, you're the fire on the vine
E7

Em (muted) G
Oh my son, I have known your ways
Em G
But I'm the gale that?ll rattle your gate; you shudder, I make you shake
Em G
You will find what you did not seek
Em G (no longer muted)
A road less narrow, a way not steep
D
Oh my child
Em C/G
Don't you lose your place
D
Remember my table
Am Em
Remember my face
C/G Am Em
And the things I told you in the middle of the night
G Em C/G
They fall heavy like a hammer on your mind
C/G Em Am
I am the light in the darkness, I'm the fire on the vine

Em G C/G
You turn away
Em G C/G
I'm left alone
Am G C/G
Then came a sign
Am G C/G
Then came the Revelation
Em D
And I said you, you will not dig a hole in me
Am
You will not chop down my tree
C/G
Or hold me under the water
Em D
No and you, you will not dig a hole in me
Am
You will not chop down my tree
C/G
Or hold me under the water
