Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas

Written by Will Robinson Sheff

	  		
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
