[Intro]
N.C.  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                  F                C
 There's tombstone in a snowy field
                F          Am
Close by an old ghost town
              G                  C    F  C
The epitaph's been weather-blown away
                    F                      C
There's a belltower where petitions peeled
                    F    Am
It's been half torn down
                    G                          C        Csus4  C
But it must have softened every soul that came to pray
 
 
[Verse 2]
                      F                   C
There's a schoolhouse full of broken glass
            F     Am
And wounded walls
                 Gsus4        G          C            Csus4  C
The rusty swings like derelicts sleeping in the weeds
                  F                C
There's a picture-graduation class
                      F     Am
Staring down deserted halls
              Gsus4 G       C         E
"THE HOPE OF 44"    is what it reads
 
 
[Bridge]
                     Dm                       G           F        E
It's just as if some restless wind blew their dreams away far away
                Dm               G              E C
It's just as if those dreams had never been but oh
                    F             C             F
I feel their ghosts around me now - I hear them say
        Am             G                      C
They've come back home to dream those dreams again
