capo 5

C (x32010@1)         C/B (x2555x@1)  Am (x02210@1)        C/BLook (x2555x@1)at the world, it's walking up
C (x32010@1)        C/B (x2555x@1)     F (133211@1) GI (320003@1)couldn't sleep for dreaming
C (x32010@1)      C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1)      C/BMy (x2555x@1)weary soul is finally home
C (x32010@1)       C/B (x2555x@1)     F (133211@1) GI (320003@1)had the strangest feeling

Am (x02210@1)              GThis (320003@1)is the dawn, the break of day
Am (x02210@1)              GAfter (320003@1)the midnight parted
C (x32010@1)           C/B (x2555x@1)Am (x02210@1)        C/BThese (x2555x@1)ringing ears have waited years
F (133211@1)                  G (320003@1)CTo (x32010@1)hear the bells of Harlem

Far down the streets, I see the signs
The crowd is breathing faster
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
I see the flocks and pastors

Oh what a time, to be alive
Tears of the past forgotten
It's been a long, and lonely night
I hear the bells of Harlem

Am (x02210@1)                       Em (022000@1)They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
Am (x02210@1)        F (133211@1)      GThe (320003@1)darkest hour has passed
Am (x02210@1)                       Em (022000@1)       GThey (320003@1)ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
D (xx0232@1)             GA (320003@1)little joy at long last

Am (x02210@1)                GThe (320003@1)brightest rose, ain't no more cane
Am (x02210@1)                 GWe (320003@1)ground it down to sorghum
C (x32010@1)         C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1)        C/BWe (x2555x@1)couldn't stop, the freedom train
F (133211@1)                 G (320003@1)CI (x32010@1)hear the bells of Harlem



The lyrics might not be exactly right, that 
last verse is particularly hard to make out, 
but this song is just gorgeous I think.
