Tonart: G major
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
D
Far between sundown’s finish
G
C
G
an’ midnight’s broken toll
G
C
G
We ducked inside the doorway,
D
G
C
G
as thunder went crashing
G
C
As majestic bells of bolts
G
C
G
C
struck shadows in the sounds
G
Seeming to be the chimes
G
D
G
C
G
of freedom flashing
Chorus 1
D
Flashing for the warriors
G
C
G
whose strength is not to fight
C
G
Flashing for the refugees
Am
D
on the unarmed road of flight
D
G
C
and every underdog soldier in the night
G
D
And we gazed upon the chimes
G
C
G
of freedom flashing
Verse 2
G
C
Through the city’s melted furnace,
G
C
G
C
unexpectedly we watched
G
C
With faces hidden
D
G
C
G
while the walls were tightening
G
C
As the echo of the wedding bells
G
C
G
C
before the blowin’ rain
G
C
D
Dissolved into the bells
G
C
G
of the lightning
Chorus 2
C
G
Tolling for the luckless,
Am
D
the abandoned and forsaken
G
C
Tolling for the outcast,
G
C
burning constantly at stake
G
C
And we gazed upon the chimes
G
D
G
C
G
of freedom flashing
Verse 3
G
C
Through the mad mystic hammering
G
C
G
C
of the wild ripping hail
G
C
D
The sky cracked its poems
G
C
G
in naked wonder
G
C
That the clinging of the church bells
G
C
G
C
blew far into the breeze
G
C
D
Leaving only bells of lightning
G
C
G
and its thunder
Chorus 3
D
Striking for the the gentle,
C
G
Striking for the guardians
Am
D
and protectors of the mind
G
D
And the poet and the painter
G
C
far behind his rightful time
G
C
And we gazed upon the chimes
D
G
C
G
of freedom flashing
G
G
In the
Verse 4
G
C
wild cathedral evening
G
C
G
C
the rain unraveled tales
G
C
For the disrobed faceless
D
G
C
G
D
forms of no position
G
C
Tolling for the tongues
G
C
G
C
with no place to bring their thoughts
G
C
D
All down in taken-forgranted
G
C
G
situations
Chorus 4
D
Tolling for the deaf and blind,
C
G
For the mistreated, mateless mother,
Am
D
the mistitled prostitute
G
D
For the misdemeanor outlaw,
G
C
chained and cheated by pursuit
G
C
And we gazed upon the chimes
D
G
C
of freedom flashing
Interlude 1

G
G
Verse 5
G
C
Even though a cloud’s white curtain
G
C
G
C
in a far-off corner flared
G
C
D
And the hypnotic splattered mist
G
C
G
was slowly lifting
G
C
Electric light still struck like arrows,
G
C
G
C
fired but for the ones
G
C
Condemned to drift
D
G
C
G
or else be kept from drifting
Chorus 5
D
Tolling for the searching ones,
G
on their speechless, seeking trail
C
G
For the lonesome-hearted lovers
Am
D
with too personal a tale
G
And for each unharmful,
D
G
C
gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
G
C
And we gazed upon the chimes
D
G
C
G
D
of freedom flashing

Verse 6
G
C
G
Starry-eyed and laughing as I recall
C
G
C
when we were caught
G
C
Trapped by no track
D
G
C
G
of hours for they hanged suspended
G
G
C
G
As we listened one last time an’ we watched
C
G
C
with one last look
G
C
D
Spellbound and swallowed
G
C
G
’til the tolling ended
Chorus 6
G
whose wounds cannot be nursed
C
For the countless confused,
Am
D
strung-out ones and worse
G
D
And for every hung-up person
G
C
in the whole wide universe
G
C
And we gazed upon the chimes
G
D
G
of freedom flashing
