(Chords same as first verse}
Oh well church bells, they are ringing for you.

and your beauty, could waken the dead.

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

but you know, my hearts not yours. X4

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   Eb       Bb/F   Ab       Bb/F   Eb       Bb/F   Ab       Bb/F   Eb


That's all.  Gavisgone.
