Intro: | G | C | G | C | G | C D | G | G
G C G C
Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
G C D G
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'
C G C
As majestic bells of bots struck shadows in the sound
G C D G
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashin'
D G C G
Yeah, flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
C Am D
Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight
G C G C
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
G C D G
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
C G C
Well, in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched
G C D G
With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin'
C G C
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain
G C D G
Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin'
D G C G
Yeah, tollin' for the rebel, yeah, tollin' for the raked
C Am D
Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked
G C G C
And tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes
G C D G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
Oh yeah!
| C | G | D | D | C | D | G C | G
C G C
And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed
G C D G
There's a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin'
C G C
Well, electric light still struck like arrows fired but for the ones
G C D G
Condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'
D G C G
Well, tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail
C Am D
For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale
G C G C
And for each young heart for channeled soul misplaced inside a jail
G C D G
Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
C G C
Well, starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught,
G C D G
Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended
C G C
As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
G C D G
Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin' ended?"
D G C G
Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
C Am D
For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung out ones at worst
G C G C
And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe
G C D G
Now we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
C | G | D | D | C | D | G C | G |
Aaaah.....
