Intro: G C C/B D Dsus4 C D G
G C9
Far between sundown's finish
G C9
And midnights broken toll
G C9 D C
We ducked inside the doorway - thunder crashing
G C9
As majestic bells of bolts
G C9
Struck shadows in the sounds
G C9 D G
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Chorus:
D
Flashing for the warriors
G C9 G
Whose strength is not to fight
D G
Flashing for the refugees
Am D
On the unarmed road of flight
G C9
And for each and every underdog
G C9
Soldier in the night
G C9 D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
G C9
Even though the clouds white curtain,
G C9
In the far off corner flashed
G C9 D C
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
G C9
Electric light still struck like arrows,
G C9
Fired but for the ones
G C9 D G
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Chorus:
D
Tolling for the searching ones,
G C9 G
On their speechless seeking trail
D G
For the lonesome hearted lovers
Am D
With too personal a tale
G C9
And for each unharmful gentle soul,
G C9
Misplaced inside a jail
G C9 D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
G
Dee dee dee dee dee (etc.)
G C9
Starry eyed and laughing,
G C9
As I recall when we were caught
G C9 D C
Can't find no track of ours for they hang suspended
G C9
And we listened one last time,
G C9
And we watched with one last look
G C9 D G
Spellbound and swallowed until the tolling ended
Chorus:
D
Tolling for the aching ones,
G C9 G
Whose wounds cannot be nursed
D G
For the countless confused accused misused
Am D
Strung out ones and worse
G C9
And for each and every hung up person
G C9
In the whole wide universe
G C9 D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
G
Dee dee dee dee dee-da (etc)
