Tom: G5

Intro: G5   C5   C5   D5   D5   C5   D5   G5

G5                  C5  
Far between sundown's finish
        G5             C5
And midnights broken toll
      G5                          C5             D5          C5
We ducked inside the doorway - thunder crashing


G5                C5  
As majestic bells of bolts
           G5           C5
Struck shadows in the sounds
G5               C5       D5            G5
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing 

Chorus:
D5                                                
Flashing for the warriors 
            G5              C5      G5
Whose strength is not to fight
D5                      G5
Flashing for the refugees
            A5                     D5
On the unarmed road of flight
             G5                      C5
And for each and every underdog
G5                  C5
Soldier in the night
             G5                       C5           D5           G5
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing


G5                  C5 
Even though the clouds white curtain, 
          G5                  C5 
In the far off corner flashed
      G5                          C5             D5          C5
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting


G5                  C5 
Electric light still struck like arrows,
  G5                  C5 
Fired but for the ones
G5               C5       D5            G5
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

Chorus:
D5 
Tolling for the searching ones, 
            G5              C5      G5
On their speechless seeking trail
D5                      G5
For the lonesome hearted lovers
            A5           D5
With too personal a tale
             G5                      C5
And for each unharmful gentle soul,
G5                  C5
Misplaced inside a jail
             G5                       C5           D5           G5
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
     G5
Dee  dee  dee dee dee  (etc.)


G5                  C5 
Starry eyed and laughing, 
     G5                  C5 
As I recall when we were caught
      G5                          C5             D5          C5
Can't find no track of ours for they hang suspended


G5                  C5 
And we listened one last time, 
     G5                  C5 
And we watched with one last look
G5               C5       D5            G5
Spellbound and swallowed until the tolling ended

Chorus:
D5 
Tolling for the aching ones, 
            G5              C5      G5
Whose wounds cannot be nursed
D5                      G5
For the countless confused accused misused 
            A5                     D5
Strung out ones and worse
             G5                      C5
And for each and every hung up person 
G5                  C5
In the whole wide universe
             G5                       C5           D5           G5
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
     G5
Dee dee dee dee dee-da (etc)
