capo 5

C5           C5    A5          C5
Look at the world, it's walking up
C5          C5       F5   G5
I couldn't sleep for dreaming
C5        C5   A5        C5
My weary soul is finally home
C5         C5       F5   G5
I had the strangest feeling

A5                G5
This is the dawn, the break of day
A5                G5
After the midnight parted
C5             C5  A5          C5
These ringing ears have waited years
F5                    G5  C5
To 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

A5                         E5 
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
A5          F5        G5
The darkest hour has passed
A5                         E5         G5
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
D5               G5
A little joy at long last

A5                  G5
The brightest rose, ain't no more cane
A5                   G5
We ground it down to sorghum
C5           C5   A5          C5
We couldn't stop, the freedom train
F5                   G5  C5
I hear the bells of Harlem
