The Miner's Dream Of Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]"It'[Em]s ten[F#sus4] weary year[F#]s[Bm]
since I left England's shore
For a distant far coun[G]try to roam[F#]
How I [Bm]long to return to my own native land
To my [E]friends and the old
folks at [A]home
[Dm]Last night as I slumbered I had
[A]a strange dream
A dream [Dm]that brought
[Bb]distant [A]lands near
I dreamt [Dm]of old England,
the land [A]of my birth
The heart [D]of her [G]sons [Bm]ever dear[A]
[D]While the joyous

[Verse 2]
bells [A]rang as I
wended my way
[D]To the house where I lived
[G]as a [D]boy
I passed by the [A]window[D]
[E]and there sat by the fire
Were my parents, my heart filled with
[A]joy
The lo[D]g burnt so brightly it was
keeping them warm
[A]On a night that could
banish [D]all sin
And the bell[G]s they were [A]ringing,
[Em]the [C]old [A]year[D] out
[A]And the new year [D]in
[A][D][G][F#]

[Verse 3]
At the [Bm]door of the house there we stood
face to face
For the first time in ten
[F#]weary years
Soon the past [Bm]was forgot,
and we stood hand in hand
Father, mother [E]and wanderer [A]in [Dm]tears
And the [A]log [Dm]burnt[Bb][A][Dm][A][D][G][F#]
[A]so [D]bri[A]ght[D]ly,[A]
[D]it [G]was[D] ke[A]epi[D]ng[E][A]
[D]us warm
On a [A]night that would banish all [D]sin
And the [G]bells they [C#dim]were ringing,
[A]the old [D]year out
[A]And the new year [D]in

[Verse 4]
[D]And the [G]bells they
were ringing, the [D]old year out
[A]And the new year in
