A Street Called Hope

Tom: C

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)
