This is my first so if its messy I apologize. Here's the gist: C C C F7 C C g Am x2 for the verse x2 in between verses and chorus F7 C F7 Am C G F7 Am x 2 for the chorus Em Am C F7 C F7 x2 for the other part Listen to the song for the hammer ons Capo on the 2nd fret or where ever you feel comfortable singing Verse 1: C C C F7 Remember when our songs were just like prayer. C C G Am Like gospel hymns that you call in the air. C C C F7 Come down, come down, sweet reverent C C G Am Until my simple heart sound ring. C C C F7 C C G Am And ring. Chorus: F7 C F7 Am Ring like silver, ring like gold. C G F7 Am Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio. F7 C F7 Am Ring like clear day wedding bells, C G F7 Am In the belly of the beast or the sword that fell. C C C F7 C C G Am I'll never tell. Bridge: Em Am They come to me, clear and cold. C C C F7 C C G Am Some say Em Am The Wives of Earl, spinning weaves C C C F7 C C G Am At that machine. Verse 2: I've gone crazy, couldn't you tell. I threw stones at the stars but the whole sky fell. Now I'm covered up in straw belly, up on a table. And I drank and sang and passed in the stable. Mm-hmm... C C C F7 C C G Am Em Am C F7 C F7 x2 Verse 3: That tall grass grows high and brown. Well I drank you straight in the muddy ground. And you sent me back to where I roam. Well I cursed and I cried but now I know. Oh, now I know... Verse 4: And I ran back to that hollow again, The moon was just a sliver back then, And I ached for my heart like some tin man. When it came, oh, it beat, and it boiled, and it rang. Oh it's ringing. Chorus: Ring like crazy, ring like hell. Turn me back into that wild-haired gale. Ring like silver, ring like gold. Turn these diamonds straight back into gold. Turn these diamonds straight back into gold. It's as right as I could get it without the other instruments or Gregory sitting there with me. http://www.gregoryalanisakov.com/
