(Chords same as first verse}
Oh well church bells, they are ringing for you.
Oh and choirs are singing in red,
oh your voice could summon the angels,
and your beauty, could waken the dead.

But now i'm free,
Now i'm free,
Now i'm free from all your pain.

{Chords same as intro, played with a bit more passion!}
Well you have only let me down
you have only, let me down

Just strum once the first time you play these chords.


After he sings something that sounds like, "I'm the dance, I'm the dirt, I'm the flowers 
the earth, I'm the leaves
in the underworld" {does anyone know what he's saying?} the chords change to:

Bb/F (102220@1) Eb (x43121@3)     Bb/F (102220@1) Ab (xx1114@1)     Bb/F (102220@1) Eb (x43121@3)     Bb/F (102220@1) Ab (xx1114@1)     Bb/F (102220@1) Eb (x43121@3)
That's all.  Gavisgone.
